The Festival Comedy Café had some surprises up its sleeve today. Producer Rob warmed up the crowd (give the man a show!) and our guests settled down for what would be 45 minutes of big stars and big laughs. I was on camera duty today, one way of saying I got to watch the show from the prime location of the front row. Being the photographer, I could appreciate some of the finer details audiences at home would have missed out on. For example, presenter Janice (who celebrates her __th birthday today) looked fab in black dress complete with Mr T bling, while Blowers and Bly wore red and green socks respectively.
Learning that Alex Horne's first joke was "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Those were the days...." was my personal highlight. Having mentioned in my previous post that I thought I had reading material for the summer covered, hearing Chris Brookmyre speak abouth is work makes my decision about what to read next a little bit harder.
I had to be reminded by Emma that Alan Cumming was in Spice World. This makes me a little bit more in awe of him than I was before and I am pleased to say that Flanders and Swann are my gnu (sic) guilty pleasure. With taxis booked, coffees delivered, guests happy and the show finished, I wonder what I am going to be doing with my weekend. Um...more shows?"
