Wow. The Belfry Club, hidden off the main road, a little entrance on Gallosson’s Road. We enter with trepidation, it’s a social club, we’re not members and this time the CIU cards not gonna help. We approach the empty bar with bated breath, emerging from the back, a gentleman in a fez, “Hello”.
After some convincing that we weren’t police, the man introduced himself as Ed the Fez, and served us three Moretti’s. He proceeded to run through some comedy, prepared, though a performer there for his crowd. “You remember the Avon girls, why does it hurt when they walk? because their lips stick”. After receiving some laughs, Ed had found his audience, he joined us at the table for a pint and proceeded to run through various acts, including jokes, magic and puzzles. Jamie accosted Joe at the bar, a local who was happy to talk pubs and soon also joined our table. Ed and Joe are pictured. 3 pints later we’re running for the DLR, not quite sure what had just happened. Mind twisting place, landlord Vinny shown clearing glasses, though Ed and Joe stars of the show. We’ll be back.
Unreal sessions in Plumstead. Beautiful place.
