Stephen K Amos: Find the Funny!

Yesterday, I went to see Stephen K Amos at the comedy theatre with Chiara.

Yesterday was one of the worst days ever. I felt dead in the morning, so I decided to skip out on my marketing tute which was at 9am, then I finally had to go in at lunch for japanese, then decided to only go to half of my marketing lecture. Well, apparently, because ive missed 2 marketing tutes, I now cant miss anymore? or I fail. apparently.

After that, everything got better. Met up with Chiara and we ate pho at the "Bill Clinton had 2 bowls, how many can you eat?" place, the place that has the picture of Jackie Chan taken behind a pot plant. The food was lovely and the place looked pretty gross like usual. Then the waiter paid us out. Chiara kepts ordering everything the same as me, and when we both ordered coke, he went all testy on us and said "no suprises there!"

We got to the Comedy Theatre pretty early, and we were pretty close. THE USHER WAS AWESOME! he had a bit of flair when leading persons to their seats. like some fancy hand movements and his head up high, and hips swaying as he walked. Then he said "WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR SHOES? I LURRRRRRRRRRRRVE THEM!!!!!!!!!" and waved his torch at my feet. the man obviously has excellent taste.

Stephen K Amos was ace, he came on dancing to single ladies. People kept shouting out of the crowd and he was like "this is the best show ever!"
Except when there was the lady in the crowd who made horn noises, then she went up on stage. That went for a bit too long than it was necessary, it was a bit "okay now, get off, im not paying to see you".

Oh, and today Mum and I went out for dinner after uni (i had to watch The Fly, i've never felt more sick after viewing a film), and we walked past the big black chalk board that lists the comedians, and this boy stopped me, and we had a conversation like this:
boy: who are you looking to see?
emi: im just looking
boy: can i please talk to you about my show? you're going to have heaps of people surrounding you anyway.
emi: aah, okay.
boy: i have a show at 6:00 today, im the youngest comedian at the festival-
emi: i think i heard you on the radio yesterday.
boy: on the triple j morning show? yeah, sam simmons is a wacko.

then i said i'd think about it. His name was Jack Druce. Shows are $16. Im considering going with Chiara.
