Stephen K Amos

Being the Britcom fan that I am, I jumped at the opportunity to see Stephen K Amos last night at QPAC's Concert Hall.

Laughter is my Agenda

In the past I've seen Lenny Henry, Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey, but I have to say, Stephen K Amos is the only one that kept my laughing continuously.

The thing I'll remember most was his voice over at the beginning to introduce the show and his warm up act, Brisbane comedian Lindsay Webb. Next door in the Lyric Theatre was a production of Annie. To begin the show, Stephen said this:

"May I remind you that there is meant to be no use of electronic or recording devices during the show... Unless you're here for fucking Annie. And I literally mean, to fuck Annie."

After satisfying my childish and crude sense of humour, Stephen delivered a very intelligent and, above all, hilarious show that I'll never forget. Especially when he had a go at a journalism student in the front row! Don't worry, he was only doing music journalism... (and if you're reading this blog Rhys, don't worry I don't mean it. And I'm from Ipswich too.) 

Stephen also shut down the most annoying heckler you will ever see. An obese guy called Sam was sitting at one of the front stalls and thought that he was funnier than the warm up act and interrupted Stephen at the beginning of his act. He shut up after Stephen threatened to piss on him...

I loved it. Plain and simple. I would recommend seeing him next time he's in Brisbane!
