Hats off to the Zebras......

ok,

monday night Bärbel and I went to London (where else? please..) to see the British comedian Bill Bailey. For those of you who dont already know, im not really a big fan....or a small fan of British comedy. Let's face it, england is an island and therefore secluded from the rest of the big world, and therefore somehow has crappy humor that only they can appreciate. (too harsh????)

anyhoo, after watching a few clips of him from youtube, i felt that i could spend a few pounds going to see him and hanging out with my flatmate!

we got to london and tried to find cheap tix for the show, and decided on either Wicked or chicago as a fall back plan. first, we found a very scrumtrulescent chinese buffet restuarant in Soho-(nice to meet you.......OPI nailpolish name! ;) anyhoo, we had to heaping plates and mine was mostly covered with sweet and sour chicken!! love love!

then, a quick stop and Starbucks, and then off to the show! our tix were only 20 some pounds and good seats too!

the show lasted about 2 1/2 hours and i laughed a lot. he was very funny and his personability (sp? is that even a word?) with the audience made it that much more enjoyable. the woman behind us, however, sounded like a hyiena (sp?)....always gotta be something, right?

anyhoo, that was it. it was a bit chilly outside, though that didnt detur us from stopping at Häagen-dazs :p

here are some youtube clips of him at the one we saw and other ones......

ENJOY!?
