Tonguetwister vs Limerick





Jonny Woo's Valentine show at Bistrotheque was a funny one. He was on solid form, with an opening verbal deluge about things we do in love (like screaming 'Ned!' over the East River), recitations of the romantic verse of B. Boo and K. Minogue (his reading of 'I Should Be So Lucky' made me pine for French and Saunders's operatic version) and working through a few of his standard numbers and tonguetwisting stories. His guest was Alison Limerick, she of 90s dancefloor anthems like 'Where Love Lives' and 'Make It On My Own', who had a sizeable and voluble group of devotees reliving the glory days. For some reason I thought of carbon dating.
