I’ve been lucky enough to have been able to get hold of some
tickets to go and see the excellent Steve Hughes on his Big Issues tour in Wolverhampton
next week.
I’ve had the fortune of seeing Steve twice before, both
times supporting Reginald D Hunter, so it’s quite exciting to be able to see
his full show in a smaller setting.
His act consists mainly of complaining about politics, the
state of the world and music; and is absolutely hilarious. He has the canny
ability to say the most obvious things that you don’t realise are funny until
he points them out.
His funniest and maybe most famous act is him talking about
the world of health and safety and how it’s basically common sense. You can
watch it here
His style isn’t really the typical feed line punch line sort
but rather more like, dare I say it, Bill Hicks. His fantastic way of pointing
out how everyone is a hypocrite and the governments are controlling us will
make you laugh but also make you go home thinking a lot about what he’s said.
The gig takes place at my favourite gig in the country which
is the Wulfrun Hall. To check out more comedy dates they’ve got on (which is a
lot) go to www.wolvescivic.co.uk
We’ll let you know how it went next week, until then, watch
his videos!
