It’s been a while since I’ve been to Anseo so I decided as Joe Rooney was headlining, last night was as good as any night to head along to check it out. Imagine my dismay when a couple of hours before the gig I got a message that Joe was not able to make it but that there was to be another headline act in his place, ooh the excitement. Being the determined woman that I am I decided to head along anyway and see what the night would bring!

MC for the evening was Ian Perth. Ian is a very energetic comedian. As an MC he works the room really well and makes sure that the audience are at ease while chatting to them and adding in jokes here and there. Even when he made mistakes such as places people were from, he made it part of his set and created jokes around it, ever the professional.

First up on stage was Tom ‘Bear’ O’Mahony. From his opening jokes Tom had the audience laughing. His tales of Scottish taxi drivers taking his jokes seriously to his descriptions of his school days had the audience giggling along as they relived their childhood. Tom has a very laid back approach on stage which adds to his charm. He does have a problem with people who says “Are ye well?” Though….hmmm I may need to avoid him for a while so!
