Wishful Drinking
We trooped at Carrie Fishcer's one woman comedy show at The Huntington Theater last night and as a thank you, they gave us free tickets. Oh my god was this funny! Seriously, this was belly aching, I'm crying in my seat uncontrollably funny in parts. I haven't followed much of the history of Ms. Fisher's life, so it was neat to hear her take on it.
For opening night, the large theater had only sold 200 tickets, and our contact was hoping that having us on the sidewalk in front of the theater may grab some passerbys to come in (or at least consider coming to a later show). I am so glad that we went, it was really excellent!
There are parts in the show where she pulls folks from the audience, and one of the NEG guys got selected to go up with her, hug her, then she wrapped her arms around him, GRABBED HIS BUTT, and pulled him down on the couch on top of her as the curtain dropped for intermission. Behind the curtain she was very sweet, they took a photo together and she later (during the show) gave him an autographed boob frisbee and an Obama condom (she made many political comments last night for Obama and against McCain and Bush).
Whatever your political bent, it was totally worth seeing. It was also nice to see her wonderful and strong singing voice . . . it really was the drugs impacting her ability in the SW Holiday special. Its come through CT already, will be in Boston for a couple of weeks and I'm sure will move on, so definitely try and catch this in your town if you can. :)
