Bowled Over Welcomes .....

Johnny Armstrong took a much more straightforward approach: the pun. Or rather a lot of them, and some of rather dubious quality. But he pounds away relentlessly until one or two of the better ones smash through the audience’s resistance and they start chuckling away at the ridiculousness of it all. The quality varies wildly, from Christmas-cracker contrivance to neat examples of wordplay. Once this settles down, he could be a great act.
