THE REAL VARIETY SHOW - 2009
With possibly the strongest line-up in its 18 year history, this year’s Real Variety Show was a huge success. Over 800 event organisers and producers squeezed into Cadogan Hall to witness Mock the Week’s Hugh Dennis introduce a cornucopia of new talent. The next wave of British comedy was abundantly accounted for with Adams and Rea , Jon Richardson, Jack Whitehall, Shappi Khorsandi, Kevin Bridges and Alun Cochrane all providing belly laughs. Musical acts James Rhodes and The Red Hot Chilli Pipers added exciting flavours to old standards while football-freestyling Expansion Team and Strictly’s Fortuna and Rihanoff defied gravity in their own very different ways.
