Comedian Aurie Styla pokes fun at Lincolnshire place names in hilarious viral video

Hilarious-sounding Lincolnshire place names have been getting the laughs in a comedian’s viral video.

The reel, which has received more than 57,000 views on Facebook alone, was posted by stand-up Aurie Styla following a recent gig in Peterborough.

When one member of the audience pointed out she lived across the border in Lincolnshire, the 37-year-old funnyman stated he used to live in the county when he worked for adventure holiday firm PGL, joking it was the place parents sent their kids when they ‘don’t wanna raise them’.

London-born Styla - who has Jamaican and Cuban heritage - had the crowd in stitches when he described former home Lincoln as ‘dead for me’, suggesting a lack of diversity made it impossible for him to get plantain… or even a haircut.

“The only thing I got was attention from the supervisor and security guard every time I went into a Tesco,” he added to more riotous laughter.

But then the laughs cranked up even louder as the attention turned to place names within Yellowbelly county.

When the audience member added that she was from Spalding, Styla asked: “Ain’t that a brand of tennis balls?”

The man with the mic looked even more perplexed as the names of nearby Lincolnshire towns and villages were thrown out from the audience.

“Crow-Land? You lot are making up these places,” he continued.

“Cowbit. Spelt cow-bit but you call it Cubbit?”

When a member of the crowd suggests Styla hasn’t lived until he’s learnt more about the village, he responded with: “I have lived, but are we really going to call Cowbit living?”

“I’ve not even been there and I know that’s where you don’t go to live, you go to die.”

But the comedian’s greatest moment of consternation came when he learnt there were places called Deeping St James and Deeping St Nicholas.

“Deep-in St James?” he questioned.

“Is there like no Deep-in Latesha? Deeping St James ain’t really my portion big man.”
