Comedy night date

Posted on By admin

Katy and I went on a date Tuesday night. We bought a ticket to a live zoom performance of Nina Conti, a British ventriloquist whose sidekick,Monk, is a cynical monkey who is continually insulting Conti and swearing when he does not have his demands fulfilled.

It was a blast. We were part of the live “studio” audience that was going to interact with her and another comedian, prior to the free broadcast. It was supposed to be just us, my laptop and a bottle of wine. Unfortunately, the small annoying one got in on the act and it was easier to just let him watch the show with us than to fight over him going to bed and miss the show.

Here are some videos from other shows.

Kodo!

It finally happened! After years of wanting to see them, I have finally seen Kodo perform live and it so lived up to my expectations.

We look forward to sharing the wondrous and sacred “mystery” that lies deep within Japanese folk arts with audiences throughout Europe. The piece was created with the idea that theatre-goers would experience the mood of mystery that they meet at a temple or a shrine, or when you go into the forest – places that are removed from daily life. A feeling that emerges from deep darkness.

Amidst reverberations like rumbles in the earth large serpents coil, demons and lions move wildly. They surface from the gloomy dark, eerie at times, and in some respects, even nostalgic… This work fuses Kodo’s real worth, the dynamism of taiko expression, with the wondrous beauty and true charm that lie within rituals expressing the worship of myriad gods and reverence for nature that have been traditions in Japan since ancient times. This performance takes you on a voyage to the extraordinary, to a mysterious realm that lies in the beyond.
