(no subject)
I don't really know what's wrong with me this week but I'm exhausted. I've not really been out LOADS and I've had not horrendously late nights but maybe I'm just not sleeping :-/
Oh well. I'm sure my to-do list will sort itself out *hides under desk*
Having said that last night I did go out but Milton Jones was definitely worth the slip-slide walk to the theatre :D
Milton Jones @ Alban Arena
Technically the gig was Milton Jones' grandfather followed by a guy called Chris Martin followed by the man himself which obviously meant a sandwich of surreal one liners which I think might warp the brain after a while *G*
Chris Martin wasn't at all bad himself, a slightly annoying verbal tic in that he kept calling himself an idiot but a lot of his material was very funny. Though possibly the moment that amused ME most was the slightly embarrassed mumbling when he asked how the recession was affecting St Albans... my city=unbelievably middle class and more or less recession proof. Unless you work in the arts/education/sports *sighs*
Still he had a brilliant riff about playing practical jokes on squirrels that I'll be remembering for a while.
Milton (& his grandfather) was just as funny as I'd expected. Some of his jokes are very groanworthy but in the best possible way and a lot of his jokes provoked proper waves of laughter as different parts of the audience slowly got the joke (there was a particularly funny line about the islands around Great Britain that I got in wave 2 and the person behind me got in about wave 3 or 4 *g*
If you like proper gag based comedy (and as Mum approvingly said "no swearing, no poo jokes and nothing cruel") then definitely try and get tickets while he's touring.
The worst bit of the night actually was the idiot women on our row who refused to move at all to let us out at the interval, they didn't even do that swivel thing to make it easier to get past just expected us to climb over them. Can't help feeling they deserved the pain of getting their feet stomped on (genuine accident) and then Mum landing on one of them (if only it hadn't hurt her too)
People are very strange sometimes (they stood up to let us back in again!)
In other news I really need to stop getting annoyed with people saying Doctor Who returns on Easter Saturday... Holy Saturday, Black Saturday, Easter Eve if you'd like but it is NOT Easter Saturday on account of that coming AFTER EASTER because we don't randomly start celebrating when Jesus is still in the tomb/harrowing hell.
I realise this is maybe mostly my problem but accuracy people.
