In answer to my rhetorical question, last post, as to whether or not random people find us funny, we discovered the answer last Friday at Spank and the answer was NO!!

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!  We went down like a sack of shit and unfortunately I just knew we would!  HOWEVER...The night itself was life changing!
Dramatic I know but it was.  I realised quite a few things, I met some lovely, very kind and supportive people and I fell in love with a stand up.


Rhys Darby.
He was beautiful.
Now, I know that sounds incredibly wanking saying that but I was standing with Colin from Colin and Fergus and when he'd finished his half hour slot we just looked at each other and Colin said it had been beautiful.  I 100% agreed.  There was no ego whatsoever attached to his act.  There was no 'Look at me', there was nothing derogitory about it was just so funny and innocent but polished and I don't think I know one person who didn't love his act.
I realised I had such a lot of work to do.  Basically the stuff I have been churning out has not been at all funny and I need a rocket up my arse.  Rhys was that man who went up my arse!
Some of you may recognise him from Flight of the Chonchords - He's their manager Murray - so he's very successful now, faffing around in America but seeing him on that tiny, badly placed stage at Lowdown at the Albany, I wanted him to stay cult and do theatre forever.  I never want him to sell out or change or.....Well, I'm waffling, I'm sure whatever he does he's going to do it just great.  If you ever have an opportunity to see him live - Do not hesitate for one minute, book that ticket and go check him out.  I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

We're on stage tomorrow night and I am exhausted...Don't know what's wrong with me. (Maybe it's due to the fact that I'm running a marathon on Sunday...Help!)  Looks like it's going to be a big crowd too.  Hope to see you there.
Love
