Can’t be a comedian ALL the time…

Posted by fridgy on May 14, 2009 

I mean, I try to be. I’m always being a smart-arse and trying to make people laugh. My girlfriend probably hates this. She is actually the hardest person to make laugh in the world. Ok, back to my story – here is what happened the other night:

I was at this 30th birthday party in North Sydney. It was for one of my brothers mates Chris (who I get on really well with too). Everyone was starting to get drunk and mumble and drool on each other like pensioners and it was shaping up to be a terrific night. Then, after my butthead brother did a speech, he and the birthday guy yells out:

“Who wants to hear some comedy??”
“YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH” (said everyone at the party)
“Who wants Fridgy to do some comedy??”
“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH” (said the drunken idiots)

Then they handed me the microphone and said “here, make everyone laugh.” I had no idea what to do. I love my brother and I know he only wants what is best for me. He thought it was a huge opportunity for me to become the limelight and show off my comedy to this room of drunks. In hindsight, I probably could have just said the word “boobs” and they would have laughed. I however was totally taken by surprise, didn’t know what material to do, and I had consumed too many Long Island Iced Tea’s to communicate properly. I then said “thanks anyways guys, but not gonna do comedy” and everyone BOOOED me! All night, people were giving me shit and by the end I wish I did had done a few jokes.

Anyways apart from that, the night was fantastic and I almost remember some of it!

I did have a great gig earlier that week at the Lansdowne Hotel off Broadway. There was a whole bunch of uni students there and I feel a little bad to 18 year old Nick who sat in the front row. He copped a lot of abuse and while HE may need therapy, the rest of us enjoyed the night immensely! Thanks for letting me stand on your shoulders and push you in to the ground Nick. You’re a good kid.

Have a great what’s-left-of-the-week and weekend guys, please check back soon!
Done.
