It was SO TERRIBLE it was hilarious! A dear old guy of 80 plus with a walking stick trying to sing I'm Shy Mary Ellen, but he kept getting lost and starting again. SO much more fun than if he'd got it right. Every single act that involved a CD being played was delayed as the CD would not play. Luckily our act was a cappella, and loud and silly and I left shortly after. Familial duty only goes so far ;-)MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-36173230723841347262015-06-14T09:06:01.084+00:002015-06-14T09:06:01.084+00:00Reminds me of the time in the 1980's when I tr...Reminds me of the time in the 1980's when I travelled from Boston to New York with a band I'd become friends with to see them play at CBGB's. It was a very late start, so to kill time we went to the improv comedy club next door. I have to add that at some point on the journey I'd developed some kind of throat infection, along with a slight nosebleed. I was NOT in social butterfly mode, and the added factor of the general vibe of New York was making me very grouchy.<br /><br />Anyway, the comedian on the bill that night was awful. He must have lived in a parallel universe, as all his observation gags fell flat. At the end of his set, he said "This is an Improv club, so ten end, can someone give me one word to improvise on".<br /><br />I got a bigger laugh than the poor guy did his whole set, by croaking, in a slightly Fennella Fieldingesque voice "Silence".<br />Blue Shed Thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02988028935854371365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-75326111372659841902015-06-14T02:39:13.730+00:002015-06-14T02:39:13.730+00:00Even if it is not funny at the time, it is funny i...Even if it is not funny at the time, it is funny in the re-telling.
