Last Friday night, we went to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow at the Fringe Club. It was pretty fun, although the show started off a little rocky because the first guy was just... well, terrible. I say this with the greatest sympathy because I could not imagine subjecting myself to the ordeal of stand-up.
By the end, though, it was pretty great and I was laughing a lot. A friend of mine went the night before and she and I agreed wholeheartedly - the last guy, Tommy Dean, billed as the "funniest American in Australia," was our favorite. I thought he made astute observations about Hong Kong that were all the more impressive for his having been here for only three days.

| This is the cafe of the Fringe Club, where, due to classic Hong Kong misdirection, we thought the performance was going to be. Of course the performance was actually in a different room (a proper theater). And of course the food we bought from the cafe couldn't be brought into the theater. Oh, Hong Kong. Sometimes you really kill us. |
