We enjoyed every night of no-holds-barred humour on tennis court for the renowned boutique lodge.
Pikes Ibiza is certainly known for their mischievous nature and tongue-in-cheek sense of humour, where safer to hold a stand-up comedy nights as compared to quirky boutique hotel?
Last night – tuesday 16 July – spotted the next instalment of eye-wateringly funny crave For Laughs get underway. The monthly show views an eclectic line-up of worldwide funnymen and girls try the phase. Discover the inside range.
Stand-up funny is not one thing frequently linked to the light Isle and performances are few in number, so the show had been a little bit of a unique handle on our events calendar!
From 21:00 forwards, visitors begun to stack on the renowned Pikes Ibiza tennis-court, having their particular chair for a passing fancy green tarmac that late king symbol Freddie Mercury used to see a game whenever staying at the rock ‘n’ roll hotel.
We had been welcomed with a crisp windows of bubbly from show sponsors Gigglewater Prosecco, a good touch that undoubtedly added to the feeling of celebration once we seated down. It ought to happen years since I went to a comedy concert, so I had been eager for an evening of nasty laughs and warped humour.
Hosted by Brit comedian James Regal, the line-up for all the night showcased an international lineup of ability like sassy Argentinian Irene Meneguzzi, this lady man countryman Andres Fajngold, Kiwi John Allis and, the headliner, Irishman Mike Rice.
Beginning the tv show, the host James cautioned the viewers there is strictly “no laughs when it comes to medications” – because, evidently, the great individuals of Ibiza know every little thing there is to know about that particular topic! But as well as that, literally no topic was off of the dining table.
First of all was Irene, who regaled the viewers making use of relatable problems to be a modern-day girl only turned 40, along with that includes: Botox, treatments, Tinder and emotionally traumatising trips to IKEA with potential future husbands.
Next, dry-as-a-bone funnyman Andres have dating a fitness model you in stitches along with his deadpan, hapless personality. It took me a great ten minutes to work out whether he had been actually putting on work – somebody supply the people an award for their acting chops!
After this short period – and rapid Gigglewater top-up, now testing the delicious rose selection – it had been unique Zealander John’s consider take to the mic. He began really, but, he risked shedding the viewers when he insulted Italian pizza. I enjoy a dark sense of humour, but all of us have all of our restrictions!
Headliner Mike Rice sent the no-holds-barred finale for the night. After beginning relatively PC with reports of an Irish childhood, the guy veered into highly questionable area, visibly taking pleasure in putting some audience cringe.
From “shagging” trout to your Virgin Mary, the edge Festival performer actually moved for it – and I’m pretty sure cyberspace police would are available in order to find myself easily continued several of his a lot more darker information here.
On the whole, all of our nights mirth and comedic mayhem at Pikes Ibiza ended up being a breath of oxygen. Your faint-hearted, it may be greatest eliminated, however if you would like your humour a bit dirty, it is an excellent night out along with your pals.
