Tomorrow night, I will be making my Adelaide Fringe Festival debut. This is not something I ever expected to so, but there you go.
I am part of the Titters! show on Wednesday and Thursday. It is a great show, with a bunch of excellent women comics who have been extremely welcoming. They have a lot more experience than me, and last year, they won a People’s Choice award.
I’ve got most of next week off, and then in the next week, I’ll be back in Titters as well as part of the High Beam comedy hour. In the last week of the Fringe, I’ll be part of Titters again.
And to top it off, I’ll be part of the upstART program with the Fringe. Which is, you know, as you can see, emerging artists. So, I could make some quip here about emerging at age 39, but that would be a bit obvious, wouldn’t it?
I had no idea I would be doing these things. They’ve crept up on me one by one. Until suddenly, I feel like I’m a different person. It’s exciting. Overwhelming sometimes, but exciting. And it makes my heart beat fast and my hands sweat just thinking about it.
But it’ll be ace. Really.
On the weekend, we went and watched the mister jump out of a plane.
He was skydiving.
We look much more adventurous than we really are.
If you need me, I’m down in the back yard. Rehearsing.
adelaide from adelaide 
And you’ll be brilliant. And funny too.
WOW!
oh brilliant!! good luck! if i was home i’d come and see you. some times of the year, adelaide is just the best place to be…
If I were there, I’d be in the front row . . . even in the back yard.
will you be rehearsing into a hairbrush?
Bravo, you. You’ll be excellent.
I do use a hairbrush! I suspect that’s slightly daggy.
Fantastic. Next year you can come to Melbourne and do the Comedy Festival here!! Good luck tomorrow night, break a leg in the non-bone fracturing way.
Ha, I actually use a spanner to rehearse! Should be good, looking forward to seeing you outside the five minute slots.
Funny you should say…I have just changed from a hairbrush to a shifting spanner. I felt it was a more appropriate weight.
Sounds like a Cluedo accusation: Ms Thirdcat in the Garden with the Shifting Spanner. (Why yes, my child did receive a board game for his birthday).
Break a leg, 3C.
Instead of a career? you and me both. Ixcept I’m sitting hard on my hands at present. Go kick some serious arse, you comedienne, you.
Good luck for tonight, and every other night!
So disappointed I’m not in town for the Fringe. I’d come and see you for sure if I was.
Wow, I know a comedienne (in a virtual bloggy kind of way). Don’t you just yearn for your days as a librarian?
Good luck!!! I’m in town for Writers Week … if you’re on then, I shall have to come and see you! You will be ace.
We will keep on eye on the time this time though!
Ha! Yes … oh well, you know what they say about time flying …
From the Messenger website review of Titters:
Tracy Crisp, the librarian vegetarian, is brilliant with fantastic lines and deadpan delivery.
Heyyyy … go TC!
Hello LF! I didn’t know you were still visiting!
