Last night was the first night’s solo show since getting back from Japan
I’ve been to Collie before, but never played a show there
Add in that it was a Wednesday night
I wasn’t sure if anyone would even show up
I needn’t have worried
Not only did we have a great turnout for a school night
I think I was laughing harder than the audience most of the night
That’s what happens when you play in the country
It’s so top heavy with interesting characters and funny bastards
They end up entertaining ME
Particularly these boys
Who are, unintentionally, now members of the Collie Ranga Flavour Saver Club
They all had goatie beards
That were GINGER as buggery
I tried my best to give them a shot at a normal life
And by ‘normal life’, I mean ripping off the fanta fuzz from their faces
So they could go out in the world without the ridicule and shame of having people laugh at their flame coloured fur
And people knowing they have a concealed weapon in their pants
In the form of a clown wig
