Laughs All Round: On the Pebbles Festival Stand-Up Reviewed

Cassi reviews one of the most anticipated events of On the Pebbles, a stand-up show put on by Comedy Society.

As part of the much-loved On the Pebbles festival, the St Andrews Comedy Society ran a side-splitting stand-up event in the casual setting of Sandy’s Bar last Sunday. With near 10 routines, each unique and hilarious in their own way, the stand-up was well worth the £3 entry, and had the entire crowd roaring with unrestrained laughter.

Despite arriving reasonably early, the venue was already packed to the brim, just barely offering enough seats for the number of guests. Yet, the crowded bar only emphasised the enthusiasm the audience had for the show. With no stage to separate the audience and the comedians, the night was characterised by a nonchalant, intimate atmosphere, as the performers worked only with the microphone and their wit. From the very words said by the host of the night, Andrew Martin, the energy of the crowd was apparent, as they cheered as soon as the show began. The audience was immediately engaged by Andrew, as he playfully mucked around and teased a few audience members who unluckily sat at the front, with several jokes about his Mo-vember moustache.

The first act that was soon introduced was that of Harrison Rice, who was clearly very at home in front of the audience. With his relaxed manner, he quickly established a warm and close relationship between himself and the audience. Unfortunately, the set was over too soon, but his performance proved to be a fantastic way to set off the sets of the night. The second performer, Sasha Gisborne was radically different to Harrison, with his dramatic entrance onto the stage. Despite his choice not to use the microphone, Sasha had a formidable presence, and was not afraid to venture into the more controversial topics, poking fun at issues like abortion.

It was clear from Sasha’s performance and his banter with his fellow comedians of the strong relationships between the different members of the Comedy Society, emphasised with the subsequent set by Aoife McAtamney, who mocked the whirlwind of Sasha’s performance. Aoife brought a fresh feeling to the night, as her set was obviously new, as she spoke about her very recent graduation. Her performance was entirely unique in terms of content in comparison to the other sets of the night, with her whole set centred around on her hilarious but slightly strange experiences on the app Fiverr.

One of the highlights of the first act was the set by Adam Bumstead. Whilst starting with a classic opening, “So, I’ve been going on a few dates recently…”, he preceded to continually upturn what was expected, offering very sophisticated humour despite his quieter energy. Kicking off the second act was Joe Mendenhall, the sketch representative. Whilst similarly embodying a quieter, perhaps even nervous energy, Joe skillfully wielded this shyness into his comedic persona through his series of small jokes with killer punchlines. Despite his dipping into hilarious topics like the nine lives of cats, to Kanye West, to wheelchairs, Joe created a lot of laughs through his deliberate pauses, building humorous through rhyme and repetition before neatly tying up the several threads of his sert into one brilliant joke for his finale.

One of the concluding acts of the night featured the witty Sarah Clark, her confidence and charisma immediately evident from the get-go. Her performance was very candid, openly exploring more “nasty” topics, as she herself described. She likewise dabbled in repetition for comedic effect, such as ‘No-Nut November’. Following her was Paulo Flordia, only recently, as the host Andrew put it, ‘comedy de-virginised’, as this show was his second ever stand-up performance. Paulo mixed in a few different mediums to his act, as he introduced a little bit of karaoke that saw the rest of Sandy’s joining in, before moving on to a running joke involving a heavy Scottish accent.

The night was brought to a close with sets by Joseph Ickowski and ComSoc President Christoph. Joking about his experiences as a 2nd generation Italian-American, Joe’s set was fairly wholesome and child-friendly compared to the themes that coloured the previous performances. Once again, his set was a casual, intimate one that appealed to the audience through the reliability of family antics. On the other-hand, Christoph bought the night to an explosive end with a brilliant mockery of both millennial and generation z humour with a dramatic, loud performance.

All in all, the stand-up on Sunday was worth above and beyond the £3 entry. The wide-range of brilliant humour saw many audience members leave clutching their sides for air, but still excited for the next show. It cannot be recommended more highly for anyone keen for a casual night of laughs.

  9. Thanks for revealing your ideas with this blog. Likewise, a fantasy regarding the banking institutions intentions when talking about foreclosed is that the bank will not getreceive my payments. There is a degree of time which the bank will require payments here and there. If you are far too deep inside the hole, they should commonly call that you pay the actual payment in full. However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of repayments at all. In the event you and the loan company can have the ability to work anything out, your foreclosure course of action may halt. However, in the event you continue to miss payments underneath the new plan, the foreclosed process can just pick up where it left off.

    Flirt.com is a scam
    Hi all, got scammed by this website. Saw that there were a couple of post informing about this but just wanted to give more details
    Paid for the three day offer and with the confirmation of the subscription, got two mails from hornycontacts.com and loveaholics.com asking me to confirm my email. Didn’t pay attention and deleted them.
    I immediately canceled the subscription in flirt.com without any issue and on the last day it changed to a standard membership so since it was bs site, cancelled the account as well.
    So I was happy and watching a movie when I got an sms from my card provider telling me that I got a 71.78 euros charge from fry frtlsp.com. Never heard of them, so I called my card provider and cancelled my card and will request the return of the money as well.
    Then I realized that maybe these two websites also by some miracle signed me up to a paid subscription… so I logged in… had to recover the passwords because they were not the one I used in flirt.com… and surprise, loveaholics.com did signed me up for a paid subscription without me being aware (pretty sure that somewhere during the signing process in flirt there was something checked and didn’t pay attention.). So I had to cancel subscription and account in these two other sites.
    So, sorry for the long post but in summary…. do not use flirt.com at all!!!
    Yes, FLIRT.COM it is a scamming website. It sign you on multiple websites like askme4date.com . It bombard you with emails that you receive messages, and you need to pay to see them. After you pay you see the messages. All messages are from BOTS. No real person.
    It’s subscribing to automatic renewal and it’s hard to cancel renewal. They push you to a complicated scheme. I’m not even sure the renewal canceling works. After

  21. I?ve been exploring for a bit for any high quality articles or blog posts on this kind of area . Exploring in Yahoo I finally stumbled upon this site. Reading this information So i am satisfied to show that I have a very good uncanny feeling I found out exactly what I needed. I most for sure will make certain to do not fail to remember this website and provides it a look on a relentless basis.

    Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Swiss testing agency that verifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a symbol of quality craftsmanship and dependability in chronometry. Not all watch brands seek COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its own strict criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO calibre, achieving comparable accuracy.

    The Art of Exact Chronometry
    The central system of a mechanized timepiece involves the spring, which supplies power as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be susceptible to external factors that may affect its precision. COSC-accredited mechanisms undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various circumstances (five positions, three temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests evaluate:

    Average daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, peak variation levels, and effects of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Accreditation Matters
    For watch enthusiasts and collectors, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a item of technology but a proof to lasting quality and accuracy. It symbolizes a watch that:

    Presents exceptional dependability and accuracy.
    Ensures guarantee of quality across the whole design of the timepiece.
    Is probable to hold its worth more effectively, making it a smart choice.
    Famous Timepiece Brands
    Several well-known brands prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Spirit, which feature COSC-validated movements equipped with innovative substances like silicone balance springs to boost resilience and efficiency.

    Historic Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The notion of the timepiece originates back to the need for exact chronometry for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a standard for assessing the precision of luxury watches, continuing a legacy of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated watch is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to quality and precision. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC validation provides peace of mind, ensuring that each validated timepiece will function reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual contentment or as an investment, COSC-validated watches distinguish themselves in the world of watchmaking, maintaining on a tradition of careful timekeeping.
