Top Festival Moments [Friday Five]

Aloha, from sunny Glastonbury! Well I hope it’s sunny, I’m actually writing this on Tuesday so I’m assuming there will be sun. By now I guess that I will have eaten lots of pork sandwiches (my favourite festival food), seen lots of bands, danced an incredible amount, and drank my yummy Malibu and Oringina (which I will definitely be drinking in moderation!). In honor of my weekend, for this week’s Friday Five I am counting my top festival moments (not just Glastonbury) from over the years.

1. BEYONCE (2011)

Oh GOSH, this was my favourite thing ever. I genuinely thought I was going to spontaneously combust with excitement when she did the Destiny’s Child medley.

2. Jay-Z (2008)

What’s Beyonce without Jay-Z? Yes, I was there when he came out to Wonderwall. It was incredible. That was when my love affair with him started and it will forever continue.

3. P!nk (2010)

Anyone knows I love this woman. I saw her first at Isle of Wight and it was amazing! She is such a performer and we loved it!

4. A Proposal (2011)

We were walking somewhere one day and we came across an engagement. The boy was on one knee, amongst the mud, surrounded by friends who had ‘Will You Marry Me’ on their backs. I probably cried and it put us all in a great mood for the day.

5. Bruce Springsteen (2009)

This year we were joined by W’s dad and friend. The hilarity! His whole family a The Boss fanatics so plans were made to get to the ‘optimum spot’ for his set. It was my first encounter of Bruce and I came away just astounded with everything about his performance.

And there we go. Such memories, I can't wait to make new ones this year! Do any of you have any top festival moments? 

Comedy [Friday Five]

Hi there! If you've hopped on over from the Five on Friday link up then welcome! It's lovely to see you, wont you stay a while?

 Last night I had a very impromptu night with involved a press film screening (I can’t say anything about it for now, but it is definitely my film of 2013 so far!), a comedy night and late-night burritos. During the random comedy night we stumbled upon, I decided to do todays Friday Five on my favourite comedians. I discovered most of these comedians at a monthly comedy night my friends put on in Balham (it’s called Rise of the Idiots by the way, and it’s on the first Sunday of every month).

1. Joel Dommett

I’ve seen him a ridiculous amount of times and even though he repeats jokes now and again, it just doesn’t get old. More information here.

Favourite moment: Crashing into a car door and falling into the drivers lap.

2. James Acaster

James Acaster just makes me laugh. You know when a comedian just has that hilarious demeanour? That’s him. Even with just one look, you will be in tears (of laughter, I hope, or else I’ve built him up way too much). More information here.

Favourite moment: Hardest job ever.

3. Eric Lampaert

The grin guy from the Up Your Viva adverts. Yes, you recognise him now! More information here.

Favourite moment: French Spiderman.

4. Rob Deering (not so lesser known)

Ahhh Rob Deering, what a hilarious man. He does lots of jokes with music and things. And he’s reet funny with it. More information here.

Favourite moment: I Feel Wonderful Tonight

5. Sara Pascoe

I originally saw Sara on a Channel 4 show called Campus. Then I saw her stand up and just loved her. More information here.

Favourite moment: Take That

And a little bonus – Greg Davies

Also know as the Head of Sixth Form from the Inbetweeners. His material comes from both his parents and his teaching years. Cue the most hilarious comedy gig I’ve ever been to. More information here.

Favourite moment: Everything he’s ever said.

Go forth and laugh!
