Happy New Year, everyone! <3

Well, seeing James Acaster live was definitely one highlight, even if the guy next to me ruined it for the rest of us by getting him mad. DX It was his first and perhaps only time in my city though, so I'll take what I can get. XD

Greg and Alex singing one of my smutty Taskmaster poems on the Horne Section podcast was definitely another. (My life you guys wtaf. XD)

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Wil Anderson in November though. I've seen every show he's done here since 2008. He's like my staple gig; I'll book to see him no matter what, bc he plays here every year or two, and I adore his comedy so much. <3

ah i'm curious (and sorry if you've talked about this elsewhere before), how much did acaster derail the gig, if at all?? i was just listening to him talk about how he was struggling at some of the australian shows 😬

hahhaa your poem appearing on that podcast was def one of my top surprises! 😂 that was certainly A Thing That Happened

Thankfully not as bad as other Aus gigs I heard of, but we did miss the end of one bit which iirc ruined the ending. I think. My memory's a bit sketchy now. DX But yeah. I'm so mad that it was the guy next to me. I wanted to hit him for being such a dick. >:(

It was def A Thing That Happened omg. XD Boy it was fun going home from work that day as everyone began reacting to it and I was stuck unable to listen to it until I got home woo. XD

erghhh i really don't get people who think it's ok to heckle and interrupt at comedy gigs, it sucks that the guy spoiled the ending for everyone

Yeah, same. Like, if you're not enjoying the show, just leave, don't ruin the gig for everyone else jfc. -_-

i saw 52 shows at the fringe this year asdfdsfdsa;
saw some old favourites and found quite a few new comedians to love too <3 highlights off the top of my head: jessica fostekew, sophie duker, richard gadd, josie long, john robins, olga koch. then meeting robins, elis james and mark watson!! (and [personal profile] crispfencer of course ahah)

also managed to see ronny chieng and brendon burns gigging in malaysia, which were v special

sad to be missing edinburgh next year, but at least i'll be able to attend mach for the first time in compensation :))
