Roulette Indeed (Comedy Style)
Neil already posted some good tips for the Comedy Festival, but with a couple days to go, I just wanted to add my two cents.
We went by the Exford for the free comedy last night (it’s on every night around 11pm). My friend had gone a couple nights previous and saw some good acts. What we saw was really, really bad - including one of the comics making fun of the deaf. The extremely drunk, middle-aged woman hitting on everything in sight was far more entertaining. We left shortly after she’d made her regretful selection for the night.
That being said, Neil’s right about it being roulette - you could get someone amazing or someone really crap - but also remember the importance of the word free. You’ve only got about nine days of comedy left, so get down to the Exford. Remember to wear closed-toe shoes though; security gave me crap about my flip-flops, which is completely laughable considering it’s the Exford.
The Exford, if you didn’t know, is at Russell and Little Bourke. I’m so nice to you when you’re too lazy to google.
By the way, anyone seen anything really great? Really terrible?
