Chaser’s Age of Terror Variety Hour
May 13th 2008 -
Jade’s surprise Friday event turned out to be a performance of the Chaser’s Age of Terror Variety Hour. We both went to excessive effort to ensure I would be maximally surprised, such that I didn’t know what I was seeing until the performance actually started. And I’m very pleased I did: the extra surprise was very enjoyable. We had front-and-centre seats, as in, the very front row, because Jade booked very early.
And, naturally, I got called up on stage. I was called out as a theatre critic (and requested to complete the line for one of their opening songs, where the rhyme was obviously for “shit”, but at which I said “quite good, actually”, and still haven’t forgiven myself for not answering “sheer crap”), got taken up on stage to dance with them, and then they all ran off stage and left me to do a solo bit. I took out a coin and was about to do a coin trick (which would certainly have failed miserably) but they rushed back on too quickly. It was really thoroughly enjoyable. I didn’t even get stage fright.
The rest of the show was good too.

Clear recognition of your star presence.
Pity about the ‘sheer crap’ line, but your improv was good too.
