I've seen a lot of old crap on the comedy circuit so it was utterly wonderful to see Prince Abdi at the Alpine Club. Clever, endearing and with perfect comic timing and a devastatingly funny line in impressions to illustrate his stories, I'd quite happily have forked out the £7 to see him alone. His Canadian tourist piece, hot chocolate French bus companion and Bollywood sketches had me howling like one of those godawful monkeys you get in zoos. Utterly wonderful.
