If you read my review of Shappi Khorsandi, you'll know that I measure whether I enjoyed a comedian of if they make me belly laugh or not. Before the show started my brother and I managed to find seats with only two rows in front of us, we were facing the side of the stage but the view was good nonetheless. I turned to Sam and told him that I was hoping for belly laughs and did an impression of Santa. Milton started the set dressed as his grandfather, it was weird and unexpected considering the name of the show was "lion whisperer" the crowd were connecting straight away because every time a latecomer came in, Grandfather Milton would start his little set again, with "I once had a cousin in Leathe, he kept his money under his mattress because he didn't think anyone would look in the garden" he did it three times and it got funnier each time.
My first proper belly laugh of the show was when Milton's grandfather was talking about the Olympics and said "could the winner of the 400 metre butterfly please come and collect their giant insect." Milton's style is to pummel the audience with witty one liners, the joke is over before you realise and then the humour hits you unexpectedly. It was a great show.
"Similes, what are they like?" and "I saw a clown's eye, that was a big plus" were mine and my brother's favourite jokes of the night and we've already repeated them a fair amount.
