The Melbourne Comedy Festival was about half-way through its month-long run. Tickets for Des were about a third of the price of tickets for the big musicals but his show only lasted an hour. It was based on the fact that his father is dying of terminal cancer which, for me, meant that the comedy was outweighed by the pathos. It was a clever idea to pay tribute to his father and comedians like to sail close to the wind but this was too close. Funny guy and he told some good jokes but I couldn't help feeling sorry for his dad.
But guess who we met? Yes the vets, well the three ladies were vets but Joe and Shane were not. They had recovered from Port Fairy and The Saw Doctors and just happened to 'rock up' looking for tickets. Turns out that we have other connections besides Joe being the brother of my son Fiachra's best friend. As Zig and Zag would say...We all sat together up the front, as you can see. Must look them up the next time I go to Melbourne.
