Organising 70 shows for 9 different people is fraught with danger. I have yet to survive a week without making at least one mistake and today I ran out of luck. The problems always arise over shows that have a day off and we all duly arrived at Canon's Gait to see DARKCHAT favourite Richard Sandling, who wasn't appearing that day.
The joy of free shows is that if you see something rubbish all you have lost is an hour of your
life, so we entered the venue with the bonus of having absolutely no idea what to expect.
So, what did we get? Well, while the ladies hid at the back we perched on the side seats to see a likeable London stand-up comedian telling stories about meeting a Swedish girl. As neither of them had any money they had to invent stories to encourage other drinkers to pay for their alcohol for the evening.
One of the tales which was the basis of the show involved a legendary musician who shall remain nameless. We were led down such an extraordinary path that we spent a lot of time afterwards debating whether it could possibly be true. If it is, surely the show is slanderous, if it is false what was the point, especially as no-one else in the group had ever heard of this person (although naturally Anne & I had seen him).
It is such an enjoyable and surprising show that I recommend people to deliberately plan to see the show. Good fun.
