Power Cut!

 

Despite the power cut before tonight's show meaning it was almost cancelled (even though I was willing to do it with a torch in my face!) it went ahead and was a corker! 


Front row was full of people who'd never been before ( you can imagine how much I relished their naivety in sitting there!)  We played 'guess the gay' and this man who could have almost passed was 'inned' ( the opposite of 'outed') by his sandals! He said they were thongs but they were way too busy to pass as a thong with all their overlapping brown leather straps and a real gay man would have said they were 'gladiator sandals'! A man who looked like an unlikely fan had 'farmer' written all over him and took great pleasure in telling me he was a 'farmer-sist' ( see what he did there?) Tonight was full of lots of funny widos! One of my favourite moments was when a latecomer came in and I improvised this whole song around her entrance then said hi and the response from

her was so bizarre that I suggested 'there wasn't a lot going on'  then she trumped me by telling me she was  studying psychology! It was a veritable middle finger in the air of an answer and I loved it! We had the cutest lesbian in front with crazy 80's hair and a wee Italian guy who looked like he was 18 if he was a day, who not only turns out to be 29 but also turns out to be reviewing my show-opps! We had Mad Steven who sounded really bogan ( neddy) when he said his name ( which bizarrely someone else consistently said with him at the same time every time I asked a question) Steven belied his initial rough sounding blokey voice by turning out to be a Doctor! I've never heard an audience more gobsmacked in my life! We had a guy from Warrington who very confidently announced he was bisexual ( would sleep with anyone-nae fussed! ) It takes some balls to say that in front of an audience and believe me he had them-those shorts were ridiculously tight! What was funny was the minute he shouted bisexual the wee 'straight' reviewer looked round immediately and I spotted it and said, 'Look at you, 'halfinterested.com'  What you doin', reviewing his ass!''


We also had a very amusing older Scottish man in who when I asked him his name said 'Jimmy of course' like we should all know that purely by the fact he's Scottish! ' I was loving the attitude in this audience tonight-you go girlfriend! Jimmy came from Kilmarnock which was the last thing I expected in Adelaide! And finally we got 'sandals man' up to prove that he could 'gay himself up' with the rest of them and he totally went for the camp dancing at the end in a way that left the audience shocked but thrilled! Great fun show!
