The Geoff Show notes

Tuesday 9th Dec - Credit Crunch Christmas

Hello....
 
Fancy a bit of "Credit Crunch Christmas"?
 

 

Iain Lee's show updates by Peter from Brazil

24 November 2008

Tonight Iain started off talking to Alan and asking him if he had ever gone anywhere and thought “Hey, do you know what? I don’t belong here!”. Alan had apparently wanted to fart at the Tate Gallery and thought that he didn’t belong there. Iain also said he was going to hand out 5 Golden Tickets so that people could come in for the first hour of next weeks show.
 
When we came back from the break Iain mentioned his stand up gig at a club run by a fake lesbian. It was a train wreck, he bad mouthed the club, the (fake) lesbian got mad at him, his “friends” shouted out abuse at the so-called comedians… as I said, a train wreck. I wish I could’ve been there innit! Well, the Merchant and the Fake Merchant called up and the muppets asked “What was the strangest thing Iain had bought at the supermarket?” Apparently that turned into a topic… don’t ask me how, but it did… well, anyway, I didn’t listen, didn’t really care.
 
After another song, Davis told everyone that he thinks his neighbor might have died since her mail is piling up. Davis’ dilemma is calling the cops or not cause he is afraid of being “that guy” on the papers… you know the one, the “he found the body” guy. Iain said Davis should knock on the door and, if she doesn’t answer, give it another 3 or 4 months and THEN call the cops. Iain is just a well of wisdom.
 
Bruce and G-man called up at the same time and for some reason Iain talked to Bruce first, muppet. Bruce was a waste of time and even Iain realized that (too bad it took him ages to realize it). Well, G-man was up then and just when things seemed like getting good, Iain faded him down. Keep going Iain, I see you love shooting yourself on the foot you muppet! (Iain did make up for fading down G-man by playing White Stripes for the first time in ages).
 
Barry from Watford was up next and had a lovely chat with Naughty Sophie. Turns out she wasn’t at all naughty... well, she apparently was bisexual, but that was about it. Sophie was a rubbish caller. Alan called up while Barry was still on the phone and proposed playing “Last Superhero Standing”, turns out Superman wins and Batman is just a bloke with loads of cash innit. Barry finally got to talk and he almost got a Golden Ticket but it didn’t happen. Barry wanted to talk about thinking his neighbor was dead and when he rammed the door down, his neighbor was still alive. Barry thinks people should have the decency of dying if they’re gonna make people worry like that, they should, AT LEAST, have a heart attack.
 
Missy called up next and she wanted to get a Golden Ticket, but since she said she’d only bring herself to the show Iain cut her off. His loss I guess. Unfortunately, Rob Burnett got the first Golden Ticket… our loss…
 
Iain finally explained the “Feeling like you didn’t belong topic”, but it still didn’t get many replies. Well, Iain then talked with Taylor Guy about Steve Gutenberg calling him for a night out on Wednesday. Iain can’t go cause he is doing a charity thing (for which he is getting paid for, nice one), but he didn’t give Gutenberg an answer, apparently Iain is playing it cool. Taylor Guy also got a Golden Ticket.

Barry in Watford called in again and her badgered Iain into getting a Golden Ticket, nice one Barry. After that two nutters fought over a ticket, so none of them got it. Iain was like King Solomon tonight (or is King Solomon the guy with the mines… anyway). Things slowed down a bit and the show started sinking, so Iain tried to rescue the thing by playing the answer phone messages. It helped a bit.
 
Gemma was up next and she did a little rap to get the Golden Ticket, but she got cut off. Iain is becoming a muppet. Well, Claire called up after that and she got a ticket, nice one Claire. Tamara, the stroppy lesbian got the final ticket and after that my internet radio started cutting off, so that was it for the blog.
 
Good show apart from Missy and Gemma not getting their Golden Tickets.
