Comedy Club

On Wednesday night, we fought the rain and headed out to the Laughing Garage for a good night of comedy. We went with several people from Jeff's work and we all had a blast.

One thing to point out here is that there are several more comedians that perform. In the states, we typically have 1-2 openers and then the headliner. Here we had about 5 before the main guy came on - and they were all really good! Not always true in the states!

Speaking of the States, one of the comedians asked if there were any foreigners in the audience. I yelled out, but as he looked our direction I sunk in my seat and pointed to Jeff, who then took the abuse. What are hubs for?

The headliner was Wil Anderson and he was fantastic. He has a TV show here in Australia and it typically makes fun of advertisements and products. Here is his site.

He did not talk as much about that stuff as we thought but he definitely kept us rolling in the aisles! Not for the easily offended!

Of course he had been there earlier listening to the other comedians, and knowing that Americans (he kept looking in Jeff's direction but was not sure who he was at that point) were in the audience, he was able to work in a rousing chorus of "Yes We Can!" into his bit.

He also quoted: "Clear Eyes, Full Hearts. Can't Lose." Carol Harrell knows all about that one.

It was a great night!
