JoJo Bellini: Crash-Bang Cabaret! (JoJo Bellini / The Stand Comedy Club)
By Jon Stapley | Published on Thursday 17 August 2017
Kink, car crashes, soulmates, cucumbers – a lot gets examined by JoJo Bellini, through a classic mixture of sexy songs and stories, in an hour that zips pleasantly by and will leave you smiling. It’s got a delightful range to it – a moment of unexpected emotional tenderness moved one audience member to tears; the sequence with the aforementioned cucumber was so wilfully disgusting even the show’s tech couldn’t bear to watch; and when I was pulled onstage for the rousing finale I could see the enormous grins first-hand. After her debilitating car accident, Bellini was told by a doctor she wouldn’t be walking by this point. Well, she’s not only walking, she’s dancing too, and it’s inspiring to watch.
The Stand Comedy Club 2, until 27 Aug.
