To be honest I could go and see these gents every day and not be bored, and at this show we were treated to a special guest as Dave Johns had to head home early. Joining Steve Steen, Stephen Frost, Andy Smart and Ian Coppingger was Aussie comedian Adam Hills.

An early game called film and theatre styles provided the most shocking, loudest and longest laughs...set in a coal mine, Ian and Adam were on stage and the film style "pirate movie" was suggested. Cue Ian doing a lot of argh argh aaaaaaaaaargh argh argh aaaaaaaaargh aaaaaaarghs...Adam just stood there before saying "sod it", lifted up his right trouser leg and unbuckled his false leg to reveal a very convincing pirate peg leg...the lengths some comedians will go to for laughs never ceases to amaze me! hehehe
It would also appear that there were quite a few audience members didn't know about Adam's leg...I can only imagine just how shocked they must've been.
Anyway the whole audience were laughing and laughing and laughing...it was very hard to stop...Frosty even suggested we took a break for a few minutes for people to collect themselves.
In the game "Meanwhile" were many funny moments. Opening with a casino scene played out in pigeon French, Ian interrupted asking "ou est la bibliotheque?"...a theme that ran through various other scenes. The Irish dancing class was a stroke of genius, especially with Ian getting Frosty to perform the "kick a Brit in the face" move...performed obviously on the Aussie. Another one that tickled me was In the Playground where Andy was jumping around stating "I'm being Spiderman"
The last game was once again a dubbed Sherlock Holmes case, this time the Case of the Missing Sausage. Lots of cheap sausage gags...we likes cheap sausage gags.
Sadly this was the Pupkins last show this EdFest. So very pleased I came back and saw them - well done to Adam for jumping in there, he did well :)
