Thick skinned

Albums V88 Shaoann Mpd4When Naomi asked me last night, ‘how was the show?’, I said, ‘good, Hossan was so funny I kept laughing even though I knew what was coming’.

‘Not shy, some people! Laugh at own joke!’, she said.

What I can say is, the jokes are no longer mine once they’ve been given a life of their own by Hossan. He owns the space. I mean, really! Me and the costume designer Mothar were in stitches, barely keeping our butts on our seats even though we had seen every single skit several hundred times.

And I’m not saying this just because I’m hoping more tickets will be sold. Although that would be nice. So here’s the link. Thank you very much!

    You’re right – writers give the material to the actor, and it’s up to the actor to take it up another notch, or fail miserably.

    Look at Jon Stewart! He’s only half as funny without his writers!

    Congratulations Miyagi!

    The show was shit.

    The jokes were lame, performance was way too ‘over the top’ even for theatre, and what ‘direction’ was needed, eh?

    The worst bit was the fucking audience.

    I would reckon that yall had stooges planted in the crowd to laugh macam sitcom like that.
