Shark_hat went to see some comedy? Inconceivable.

No, I did, it's true. Happy Mondays at the Amersham Arms in New Cross- much trauma, had to get [shudders] a bus. I hate getting buses for the first time somewhere unfamiliar and trying to find your stop. It's a nice venue- properly ventilated!- and it was a very good evening, Josie Long, Tomos Parry and Stewart Lee, the MC was Russell Howard, he was good as well. I don't have much to say about it; Parry was OK, a nice repeated singing punchline, Long and Lee were good, as before. I liked the drawings of Long's favourite things. Lee's still the boss. It was fun to see a couple of bits that he'd done at the BAC and Hackney in a more matured form.
Tonight, an early night.

Oh, about books, I went for a mystery in the end, one of Colin Watson's Flaxborough series- light without being insubstantial. Now reading another one of his.
