Again at The Ship.

Haven't said anything here yet about the show we did two weeks ago, so I thought I'd post excerpts of what I said about it in some things I sent out to promote the next one:

"last time, scott capurro told us about his suspenseful hiv test and potential sources, deborah frances-white told us about the son of a wwII japanese soldier who came to australia to find an australian soldier who had been kind to his dad during the war, terry saunders told us about locking himself in his own toilet and i told about being laughed at by Tiny Tim."

"they were a good audience but i'm not sure they didn't feel in some way betrayed by the nature of the show even as they enjoyed it. it seems there's an unspoken compact between promoter and audience "guaranteeing" certain rhythms and styles.

interestingly however, the most comedy-savvy in the room -- a couple who venture in from outside london every friday to see comedy, often at jongleurs or monkey business -- were the most unabashedly delighted."

I guess I hope those snippets make you wanna see one of these things. Next show will be holiday themed and feature Sarah Bennetto and Ewen Macintosh among others.

Stay tuned for more details.
