When people are bored, we hope that they go onto the internet, come to this blog site and let us tell them what to do! What we generally tell people is to go out to this event, that gig, or to see a comedian called “someone”. What we don’t do is tell people to click on a link to a video and stay at home. We might use video to illustrate what we are describing, but we encourage readers to get out there and have some fun. Well there is a form of entertainment on the internet – live comedy broadcasts.
Now I’m not going to link out to any of them, as right now I’d rather you went and booked into a cosmetic surgery clinic to have your sense of humour enhanced via serotonin implants. There’s even a link there for you! Seriously though, I just don;t know what to make of these websites. They basically do live broadcasts like on the television, but instead of a studio audience, they allow the virtual audience to respond. Responses are taken a variety of ways, telephone, text, live messaging, (that’s msn messenger look-a-likes etc) some even allow skype to be hooked in. They then perform, but you can still heckle, join in, laugh etc exactly as you would in real life. This is the only problem of course.
It is not real life. It is not live, you aren’t there. You can’t get roaring drunk with strangers, you can’t try and chat the beautiful blond up at the bar. More than all that, you can’t get caught up in the atmosphere. There is a journey that the audience as a whole go on together, and they all add to each other’s experience and enjoyment of the night. This would all be missing.
I don’t know if this idea would work. I don’t think so, but then I said there was no money in pet insurance and now my mate gary has a house and two bikes off the back of it. All I’m saying is, if it does take off, don’t forget to go out and be real people. The internet is great, you’re clearly on it right now, and it offers a wealth of experience. Don’t forget though, that used at its best, it is a gateway for face to face experience, and shouldn’t be allowed to fully replace your living life.
What do you plan to do on a friday night, get drunk with your friends, go home early and watch CSI or Star in your own Comedy Show!
Well now is your chance, the London Impro Jam, that calls itself The Karaoke of comedy has hit London. This show accepts audience volunteers into the show and they are made the star. All under the careful eye of the Skilled director and they are backed up by professional improvisor. This month the profesisonal troupe is Grand Theft Impro one of Londons best impro troupes, that include Allan Marriot who taught Eddit Izzard along with a bunch of other brilliant improvisors. This really is a completely unique show, there is nothing like it and if you are lucky enought to be picked as a audience volunteer you are really going to have a night to remember.

I’ve sign up to the amazing Daneial Kitson email list and Kitson is leaving us. Yes if you didn’t manage to get tickets to his incredibly sold out show in edinburgh festival the stand then you are going to have to wait quite a while for you next chance.
The email went some thing like (Well exactly) this:
“This email is only really relevent to those of you who live in sydney,
brisbane or melbourne. in that order. sorry about that.”
i arrived in sydney about an hour ago and the run here starts on
tuesday night. at the opera house in the playhouse. tickets are 48/38
which seems like a lot. but i just did an exchange rate check and its
only…. jesus, that is a lot. i suggest you do your best to get a
concessionary rate ticket. its really good though, the show, im very
proud of it.”
Anyway here is a little youtube gold to wet you appetite:

We aim to provide you with one of the greatest selection of crazy and weird nights out with the aim of giving you a little more choice than standing in a crowded pub / club bored out of your skull trying desperately to hear what your friends are saying over the ioncredibel load dance music as you stand around in a cowder pub that wouldn’t have enought room to dance even if it was empty. End the maddness. find the find.
All you have to ask yourself is, Am I bored tonight?
