Milton has all the killer lines
MILTON JONES
O’Reillys
MILTON Jones has that rare quality that makes him stand out.
He is a brilliant wordsmith, his jokes often relying on eccentric interpretations of the English language. His delivery is knock out, he has a light touch and litters his show with pregnant pauses before dropping in a killer line that has the audience falling about.
He is an occasional guest at the Monkey Business comedy club, above O’Reillys on Kentish Town Road, and if compere and promoter Martin Besserman can continue to book acts of this calibre, his club deserves to be sold out each week.
It is almost a shame to try to repeat in print some of Milton’s gags as it is a case of you having to be there. Try to imagine a bloke with a haircut that is a cross between Wurzel Gummidge and cult underground comic Chris Lynam (funny enough) and freaky eyes that scan the audience for any sign of weakness coming out with devastatingly funny, surreal weirdness… “I remember as a child opening my front door and getting hit in the face by a roast potato. I then opened an airing cupboard and a spag bol fell out. When I was young, I literally did not know where the next meal was coming from…”
He was followed by Desmond O’Connor – his real name. He relied a little too much on the comic capabilities of the ukulele, a great instrument which he plays well, but his repertoire could do with stronger songs.
The final delight was the performance of Inda Monocha, whose biting observations on Britain today are both hilarious but will also make you think.
