His Mitchness solo
Last Saturday I saw Mitch Benn at the SoHoHo Club in darkest Soho. He is playing there this Saturday as well as on 25 March. This was an evening without his lovely Distractions…just Mitch, his new shorter hair-cut and a dinky electric guitar. His leather trousers got an outing this night as well. Kim, my beloved fiance, was with and witnessing him for the first time. Before Mitch took the stage we had to sit through a god awful black female comic as well as a rather nifty Jewish comic. What was most amusing was the fact that the latter took the piss out of the former and mimiced some of her act.
We were then threatened to a rather pleasant night of Mitch’s old and new material. His song on James Blunt with the line “James Blunt the only singer whose name is its own Cockney Rhyming Slang.” He was on very fine form not at all showing the affects of having a rather tiny daughter at home. It was rather fun to sing ‘Crap Shag’ along with Mitch during his encore. As you would expect from me. I would urge you go to see the bloke as he is not only a cracking guitarist; but one of the funniest damn comics I have ever heard or seen.
