Andrew Menzies – A Review
Last night in a small comedy club in the basement of a bar in Gastown, Vancouver, bobandandrew.com’s very own Andrew Menzies took the stage to spit some jokes. In the process, the young comedian effectively did stand-up for the first time. No doubt a very significant event in Andrew’s life. I’m sure it probably ranks somewhere between becoming self aware and hearing his mother swear for the first time.
Guilt and Comedy is a newer comedy event in town and is run by the ever beautiful and talented Lauren Martin along with her co-host, the also beautiful Kate Lumsdon. If last night was any indication, this is a comedy night that will pretty much let anyone perform. In the span of only a couple hours I saw a veteran of the Vancouver comedy scene, a beat cop turned poet who issued poetic citations, a rather angry homosexual comedian, a clown lady and sketch comedy from none other than Jackie Blackmore of “The Skinny.” Oh, and Andrew Menzies. But don’t get me wrong, folks, this eclectic gathering of talent was not only interesting but enjoyable.
