Cammy and Phil's Late Night Nonsense

Imagine being sat in a stand-up comedy show where the comedian in question makes one faintly amusing joke. They then repeat this joke approximately thirty two times, and hope that it will continue to do the trick; whilst playing a couple of sketchy chords on a guitar. Well, if you enjoy the thought of this scenario, then I can strongly recommend ‘Cammy and Phil’s Late Night Nonsense’.When an audience unwittingly outstrips the standard of comedy via their inability to function, then perhaps it is time to consider a re-write; and one would question Cammy’s decision to rely upon a near comatose individual armed with a skipping rope to provide the beat to his latest lyrical delight.I have hinted at the prominence of drunken behaviour both on and off stage in this performance, and perhaps this is only to be expected at this time of night; but one would hope that the marginally more sober viewers might expect something that the performers themselves had arranged for their entertainment. Unfortunately for Cammy and Phil, however, the sozzled audience members who may have enjoyed their evening are unlikely to be able to recall the experience the following morning.In order to not sound completely caustic, it is fair to say that a considerable proportion of the audience seemed to be having a good time – bopping along to Cammy’s ‘music’ or smearing themselves with hefty quantities of Savlon cream (don’t ask). Had they been reviewing the show, perhaps still in their inebriated states, I am sure they would wax lyrical about the songs recounting quadriplegic canines and tragic mental breakdowns. I, unfortunately, cannot share their enthusiasm; and can only heartily encourage potential audiences to drink plenty before considering this show – it certainly seems to provide the optimal method of enjoyment.
