The Fandom Comedy Festival, The Park, Friday afternoon

[deandestroyer]

A stage was set up with a screen showing a brick wall behind it, just to give it a real comedy club atmosphere. There was a drum set off to the side with a blonde woman ready to drum rimshots where appropriate

Re: Musical Performance: Robin

On the stage was a full length mirror, a changing screen, and a trunk. As the music started, Robin came on stage in a weetiny bathrobe. Song is to the tune of If I Only Had a Brain, and is by the band Thou Shalt Not

"I'd be thinner, I'd be taller
Go clubbing in my collar
With skin pale as a moth"

He opened the trunk and began rummaging through it. pulling out a bundle, he turned towards the screen.

"Dressed in black, I'd go creepin'
While the normal folk are sleepin'
If I only were a Goth"

He hopped out, dressed in a sailor suit, the kind little kids wear. He facepalmed in the mirror then rummaged through the trunk again.

"With my hair up, I'd look fancy
Like Siouxsie and the Banshees
With silk or velvet cloth"

Back behind the screen with a new bundle.

"Dressed in boots, never sandals
And the room would be lit with candles
If I only were a Goth"

Again he hopped out, this time dressed in blue jeans and a flannel, with a fake beard. He looked in the mirror and groaned.

"Yes I'd wanna die
From the bottom of my heart impure"

Back to the trunk, then back behind the screen.

"Would I like another clove? Well, sure
And after that, we'll go listen to The Cure"

This time he was wearing glasses and a white polo with a pastel sweater tied like a shawl over his shoulders. "Aw man."

"In my casket purse I'm toutin'
Einsturzende Neubauten
And pagan hymns to Thoth"

After more rummaging and changing,

"Yes the world would be depressing
Over death I'd be obsessing"

School boy Harry Potter uniform with a tie. Close, but no cigar yet.

"With my diet I'd get scurvy
And I'd worship Peter Murphy
If I only were a Goth"

He dives behind the screen, and as the music builds, he finally emerges in the costume he got from Abby's class, weetiny black fishnet shirt and ankh, eyeliner (applied as quickly as only a Muppet can), black mohawk, and weetiny trenchcoat and boots.

He finished the song with a flourish and a deep, melancholy bow. And a bounce. Because his Goth teacher was perky.
