So, a Pole, a Brit and an American go into a pub
So, a Pole, a Brit and an American go into a pub for an English stand-up comedy evening...we were seated in the front row together, and I thought maaaaaaan are we gonna get it. Standup Express brought three comedians to the stage
Kovács András Péter (H)
Domagoj Pintarić (CRO)
Jason Rouse (CAN)
Kovács András Péter, whose performance I really enjoyed in March, was again very good. I especially liked his joke about the glow in the dark condom with the moths flying around it. When Jason Rouse took the stage, it was if some bi-sexual Hell's Angel had met Moonraker on the way to the forum; and his stage presence was like a horny Stephen Wright on speed. There were several things I appreciated about his show besides the very disgustingly funny jokes about sex. None of the comedians seriously did the round of "where are you from?" Jason did ask our table. Has anyone ever noticed that when comedians ask audience members their profession, no one, and I mean no one ever gives a straight and definite answer? Why is that? Paresh, Agi and I all answered straight, and you know what, he did not go after us. Perhaps he could not come up with anything on the spot about currency speculation, selling windows or treehugging. I was extremely surprised at how respectful he was about my environmental work. Maybe the world is changing. Considering the sparse turn-out, I also appreciated that he did not seem to trim his material down.
The show was held at the Godot on Madach ter. I would just like to mention that when they brought Agi the wrong lemonade, they gave her that for free and brought her a new one. Yes, in Hungary! In fact, last weekend at Balaton the two fish for the kids were not cooked properly. Not only did the bufe not charge us for the fish, but they also gave the kids their hotdogs for free.
