I said in my previous post that I was looking for more theatre outings for March, as a couple of my planned shows has been postponed/cancelled. Well I found more things, but they were all in April, so next month we will be well and truly back on track with the celebratory year of theatre/showtunes. This month sees a couple of comedy gigs, with Dara O Briain being the first.
It’s a few years since I last saw Dara live. I did remember that he always has audience participation, so when I got the pre-sale link through for this, I declined the offer of front row tickets. J and I were safely back in row N! Those at the front were indeed part of the show. This led to musings on the Yorkshire anthem, Ilkley Moor Baht’at, to the production of new medication for knees, to a bartender who refuses to work weekends. Eclectic.
There was a section on fake news that had me gasping for air, because I was laughing so much. This was especially because there were references to Dublin in it, and that is a city I know well, so the absurdity was even more apparent. (Note to self – if this is ever broadcast, it would make a great addition to my teaching resources – I often cover fake news in that.)
All in all, a good night out. I think we all need good laugh at the moment.
