intermission

I had the honour of seeing Ross Noble last night. It was three hours of awesomeness. Face was hurting from excessive laughter. Mouth was dry but I couldn't really drink any without the risk of choking and/or spitting all over the rows of people in front of me. I think I wet myself a little bit too. Luckily all eyes were on Ross, so I think I got away with it unnoticed.

It was great value for money too. He went on for about three hours. Actually, Ross reminded me of me a bit. He had this way of jumping from topic to topic like lightning, starting a story and then jumping to something else when he's barely started the last one. He kept forgetting that he had mentioned a story without actually getting through it or onto it. Tangents left, right and center. The difference between us was that he was funny. The show was pretty much based around him picking on audience members, with the tangents leading the way to all kinds of stories and random stuff from there. I reckon that if I went to see him again tonight, most of the show would be different - I highly doubt that he really plans much of it, probably has a few stories/jokes that he'll try to get to at some stage, but it would mostly be his improv genius, supported by a lot of miming and sound effects to help get the message across.

Picked myself up a cool signed poster for $10 - the money going to feed some Africans or something.
