Yesterday was just another day at the office. 6:30 came around and it was time to head of. I tried to tempt Guru into another drinking session but he wasn’t up for it. “Why do you always drink?”. “What does drinking really give you?”. Ahhh it gives me a couple of hours to forget about my crappy life, which is probably only crappy because I drink all the time.
So I go home. I get to the trams stop on Swanston street and my Dad rings me to tell me that he has a ticket for the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala which was starting in about 5 minutes time. Luckily it was just round the corner. I ran and got there just in time to watch Michael Pope (Mr Audience warm up) bore us to tears for 20 minutes. He really should have got out of the entertainment industry after doing blockbusters.
The show starts. And guess who the MC was? Dave Hughes!! I reckon he must be stalking me or something. He was fucken funny as usual. Its even funnier when he fucks up his jokes. Wil Anderson was also very good. Noel Fielding was also very good. I hope to go see his show before I go back to Brisbane some time next week.
Now on to something more important. I always used to think poor Tim. First it was don’t forget your toothbrush. Then came some totally forgettable home video show. The final insult was seeing Tim do line dancing in a Jupiter’s Keno ad. “Somebody pinch me!”. Now I have to say poor Paul. He was the final act of the night and he along with the other members of GUD were truly pathetic. They did some silly song about Al Qeada. Sure he can sing but I really expected more. It was a brief moment of joy when I saw him come on stage. I hadn’t seen him live since I went to a DAAS show when I was way to young to get all the jokes. Poor Paul.
Also worth mentioning. I sat behind Glenn Robbins. He was looking so stiff. Chewed gum the hole night. Maybe laughed twice during the whole show. Next time you see him laugh at some stupid joke on the panel you will know that he is faking it.
Today was just an average day, I worked productively. Came home. Dad made a Thai beef salad for dinner. Got piss with him and my step mum. That’s about it.
Till next time…
