When I entered the unusual velvet tent for this comedy show I saw mixed ages – from a newborn baby to kids my age. Everyone was offered a chocolate brioche and drink.

First on stage was Mickey Dee. He started with humour and energy. As soon as he arrived I knew it was going to be a lively performance. He knew a lot about Scotland and I liked when he did the accents.

The Victorian time-travelling magicians (Morgan and West) were next. They didn't entertain me. I felt a bit lost because they used adult humour and language and spoke too quickly.

Sy Thomas is sometimes seen on Nickelodeon. His animal impressions were funny but a joke about a mean boy getting hurt at the play park made me feel uncomfortable. He also had his notes written on his hand.

They saved the best till last, Gordon Southern! He came with sound effects and props. He included the audience and had all ages laughing. His Elvis impression, Bollywood dance routine and history rap were all fun and exciting. He was the star of the show!
