Sion's a superb host. A brilliantly entertaining line-up. Fun audience members. Some were doing different things whist watching the comedy. Knitting, ironing, drinking and other multi-tasking activities. Were all taking place. Now, now. It was all clean stuff by audience members. Some have dishwashers and ironing boards. Don't you know?! A perfect way to spend a lockdown Monday evening.
