The Real McCoy Comedy Xplosion @ The Hackney Empire, 10th October 2009
Back again at the Hackney Empire with a sell out crowd for a night of comedy was members from the Real McCoy plus some special guests: Felix Dexter, Leo Muhammad, Eddie Nestor, Robbie Gee, Judith Jacob, Dibbi & Special P. Felix wasted no time in picking out members of the front row to joke with, including me! Leo came on stage looking busted as usual and made it worse by inviting out a blind woman who had to kiss those mashup lips! (see pics below) she was looking extremly fine also…Special P opened up with his laid back style of telling things how they are…Robbie & Eddie killed it with the transvestite theme, but aint got nothing on Dibbi when it comes to performing as a crazy woman! The only female comedian on the night was Judith who had some funny stories to tell…Big up Audie and Heartbeat Entertainment for another night of good comedy.
Lyrix Organix @ The Paradise Club, 24th September 2009
Travelling west to Kensal Rise was a funky night of live music and comedy in a cosy little venue called Paradise. Beat boxer Special K opened up with some funky voice skills just before Doc Brown took the stage, a man who I’d photographed 5 years ago at the Jump Off when he was tearing up emcees on stage. Now coming with a completely different flex, DocBrown incorporates rap and comedy to the extent that it just flows nicely and makes sense and makes you laugh! Big up Doc on this, something I haven’t seen live before, he also came with a great theme of using cards to explain and translate street slang into formal English, one of the funniest parts of his set.
Up next was the revolutionary Aruba Red who uplifted the venue with Soulful Reggae infused music, followed shortly by Maverick Sabre who did pretty much the same, almost like an Irish version of the artist Natty, Maverick has some lovely soothing conscious lyrics sung in a way that just captivates the mind and allows it to relax in tune with the guitar strings and lyrics. If that wasn’t enough, the Empress Floetic Lara then stepped up to feed minds with a deeper level of lyrical talent, opening up her set with “Passionate Poets” (check it out on her myspace page) – the kind of song that you appreciate so much it makes you wish you were the one who wrote it! If your thinking on that level anyway…
A wicked night, nuff respect to Dan Tsu who put it all together and also rocked the stage during the jam session at the end.
Carnival Comedy Xplosion @ The Hackney Empire, 21st August 2009
Perhaps one of the funniest comedy nights I’ve covered this year, I was in stitches from
start to finish, which makes it a bit difficult to keep the camera steady! While peeps
were getting their groove on in Ladbroke Grove, the Hackney Empire was creating a
vibration of pure laughter. Curtis Walker killed it, making my temples hurt to the point
that I had to take a breather and put the camera down. Richard Blackwood is at one of his
funniest points in his career, people still ask me if the man has still got it, all they
need to do is come to one show to get clarification. Eddie Kadi made an appearance which
was a pleasant surprise as he brought some real African comedy to the stage, big up
everyone else involved and Heartbeat Entertainment once again.
