Quote from last night's comedy

Last night was a strange one, I left at 5:15 and went straight to the gym. It really didn’t seem worth it as after half an hour I had to shower and meet up with April as I we were going to grab something to eat before going to see the charity comedy gig with Bill Bailey at the Lyceum Theatre.

We ended up going to Live Bait, a really good fish restaurant next to the theatre. I’d been to the one in Waterloo before so I knew it would be good. For some reason I really felt on edge though, quite jittery and hyperactive in fact. Although I’ve never taken anything like speed, I imagined that would be some of the side effects. Weird! Still not feeling 100% now. Anyway…

The show started by the new host of Never mind the Buzz Cocks (jokes about the tsunami), comedy poetry (better than it sounds), funny cockney guy that’s on QI quite a bit and an amusing Geordie (aren’t all Geordies funny?) all compared by Phil Jupidus. The comedy was great, lots of good acts plus Bill Bailey at the end.

The best line of the show had to come from one of Bill’s songs.

“Like a shredded duck in a pancake drowning in the hoi sin of your lies”

Nearly made me cry.

We were supposed to head over to April’s but she had a couple of messages left on her phone when we came out and it turns out her flat has had a gas leak (2 to be precise!) so seeing as there would be no hot water ended up heading back to mine. Just as easy really. Hopefully all that will get sorted out soon!
