The Comedy Cow served us an absolute Prime Cut of comedy again at MK Theatre with an added side dish of sauce from MC Ninia Benjamin!
Ninia is a dynamic comedian, actress, and voice artist renowned for her bold humour and vibrant stage presence. With her fearless comedic style, Ninia captivated the crowd with her quick wit and infectious energy.
With a unique way to interact with the singled out audience members and the rest of the 800+ crowd, she involved everyone, including those on the mezzanine, perfectly. She acts a bit daft but beware, she’s sharp and hears everything!!!
An absolute powerhouse, she was vibrant, and unforgettable.
Act 1- Mark Watson
Mark is a master of turning personal neurosis and life stories into comedy gold. He is a one man whirlwind of self-deprecating wit and musings, delivered with a frenetic energy that keeps audiences on their toes. His performance was chaotic, relatable and rather entertaining and who knew we’d get to be entertained by the Sausage Messiah.
Middle Act - Seann Walsh
Seann Walsh is a razor-sharp observational comic with a phenomenal flair for physicality and timing. You cannot get funnier than the physical comedy of used tomato puree… You had to be there.
On stage, he combined energetic charm with punchy wit, delivering a performance that felt both engaging and electrically unpredictable. The Skechers skit was utterly on point and hilarious!
An incredible mimic, we were treated to Michael McIntyre vs Putin and a bit of Ninia Benjamin mark 2.
Undoubtedly the star of the night, Seann’s set was ridiculously brilliant!
The Headliner - Adam Kay
Adam Kay is a former doctor turned comedian and BAFTA-winning writer whose stage shows blend outrageous humour with true life medical memoirs.
Known for the phenomenal book and TV series, This is Going to Hurt, Adam has gone from strength to strength with ongoing sellout comedy shows. Consistently offering audiences a blend of gallows humour, musical pastiche, and poignant personal reflection, whether parodying pop songs or recounting harrowing moments from his medical past, Adam delivers performances that are both riotously funny and deeply human.
Sadly due to injury, we weren’t treated to the musical comedy of Adam Kay (& formerly, Amateur Transplants) but as a die hard fan, it was great to go back to the comedy roots of the diaries of a junior doctor. With a messy gallstone story – the details not the delivery – to a visit to a Protein Pod (!) the revolting was uproarious.
The ewwws and urghhhs from the audience confirmed our love of macabre medical comedy! It’s safe to say, Adam still sets the bar for this.
