Had a reviewer in last night who focusses on dark shows and picked out our flyer as dark… He has accredited us with 4 gold bats as opposed to stars. Grrrrr. Those wild n crazy kids… He’s yet to publish the review but our show is apparently “a raunchy farce with a bit of social comment for all those left behind by Thatchers Britain and Blair’s New Labour or those succeeding in spite of them..” Well, I wouldn’t exactly put it like that but then again I only wrote it.
Stayed out too late last night and feel crappy this morning. Going to do my little trip to the Turkish bath to see if I can clear it. Had interesting night. Got chatting to a guy who used to write soft porn for a living! Used to get paid 3p per word for a mainstream Norwegian magazine and got sacked for it not being erotic enough. Hee hee. Thought that was dead funny. And he performed as a meercat in the Lion King. You meet other performers, writers and directors when you’re flyering too. Interesting place. Went to see Mestopholes Smith the previous night after our show. The Richard O’Brian evangelist from hell play. God, it was dia. Is that how you spell dia? As in diabolical? Quite fitting for that play actually… the dancing and singing was great - it’s fronted by the lead singer of the Stranglers who’s got a great voice but the audience participation fell flat and the whole 75 minutes was cringe-worthy with people checking their mobile phones and twitching towards the fire escape. Nay mind.
Worked out a flyering rota. I’m on in a bit at the half price hut so best leg it. Toodle pip.
