Another night at the MTH hub – that’s three in a row – and yet again the horrid weather hasn’t kept the crowds away.  Last night was a brief but enjoyable one with Club XX at Bar Open, a quick bite to eat then in to see Sammy J at MTH.  Unfortunately I’d got my wires crossed and didn’t have tickets to Sammy J at all, so I’ll be planning to head to his show later in the week, but that left an enjoyable evening of Mike Wilmot and Ali McGregor’s Late Nite Variety Show.

I did manage to catch up with one of our reviewers in the Peter Cook bar, where I happily traded horror stories about the audiences at Russell Brand’s Melbourne shows (apparently they were equally as bad at the Hamer Hall gig as the gig I attended at Palais).  After the too-brief bar stop it was off to Mike Wilmot, where, predictably I laughed and found myself appalled in equal measures, which is the point of his show.  After ducking in to Ali McGregor’s I was horrified to find that one of the guests for the evening was Jim Jeffries.  After sitting through an hour of his show already, I just couldn’t face the idea of attempting to sit through him again.  I’m ashamed to admit I bailed.

Tonight is a pleasing combination of Denise Scott and Andrew Lawrence, two shows back to back, then home again.  There is a bunch more work required to get all our reviewer’s hard work up so I’ll be tapping away until the wee small hours I expect.  Only one writer has reported seeing a horror of a show, so lets hope the standard remains high.  Very happy to see Richard McKenzie receive such a great review as his show is one I’m looking forward to seeing myself.  Tomorrow night is Daniel Kitson… very, very excited.  Can’t wait.
