WOOF, bark, donkey. You you don't know why it's funny, but it is when it comes from the legendary Charlie Chuck.
Comedy star Charlie Chuck – made famous by appearances as Uncle Peter on the TV show The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer – graced the stage at Waltham Tea Gardens.
The one-off 'I'm In Waltham' gig at the intimate venue had people rolling in their seats with an act that could only described as bizarre but hilarious.
Charlie walked onto the stage with his trademark homeless look and a confused expression, and played the drums with sections of a pool cue before smashing it up with a fence post he had been using as a walking stick.
The crazy-haired Yorkshireman talked the gibberish that made him famous and told stories, mostly about strange animals, that trailed off in a strange and unexpected direction, leaving the crowd in stitches.

"It's given me great pleasure to be here tonight – in this shed," he said, before wandering offstage, obscurely.
Super fan Tony Parker, 38, of Sea View Street, said: "I grew up with him on the show and his catchphrases were legendary. Me and my friend still quote them now.
"He is just an absolute legend of comedy."
Friend Marcus Carlile, 38, of St Anne's Street, Grimsby, added: "I was a huge fan of him when I was growing up. It shouldn't be funny but it is."
Charlie – real name David Kear – explained his unique style to the Telegraph before taking to the stage.
"I got it from my mum and my dad. My dad was intelligent and grounded and my mum was basically nuts," he said.
"She used to talk this gibberish to me, which is where I get that from, and my dad would always say, 'what are you teaching him that rubbish for?' and was much more sensible."
Also performing was local singer Andy Wood with his first-ever comedy act – washed-up rock star Randy Rimmer. The rocker, who was introduced as having had 15 platinum albums, 10 number one singles and more than 50 arrests for indecent exposure, claimed he would "save music from the Satan that is Simon Cowell and the X Factor".
