Cuckoo Comedy Night

I've seen the film, there's currently a stage version on at the Gielgud Theatre London, and on Saturday I saw the last night of the Cuckoo Comedy Night, a special late night comedy show performed by actors from the play, including Felix Dexter, Stephen K Amos, Mackenzie Crook aka Gareth from The Office, and compered by Christian Slater. The show was good fun despite revolving mainly around jokes about either drinking or oral sex. The grand finale (being as it was the last Cuckoo Comedy Night being performed) was Mackenzie versus Christian singing "My Cock's Bigger than Yours". Has to be seen to be believed!

Beforehand we'd enjoyed a delicious meal at Bella Napolia, and afterwards moved on to Bar (somethingorother) somewhere in Soho to make use of the 3am licence. Mmm, Budvar.

After all the excitement, what better way to spend the next day than eating bangers and mash at the Black Lion, followed by a stroll through Hyde Park? The Albert Memorial is, I think, fairly hard to describe without using the words "gold" or "outrageous". Watch out for when it gets dark though; they start locking up the various entrances to the park, and you may find yourself racing to escape along with the mums and dads hurling prams and tricycles over the turnstyle being the last available exit.
