DISAPPOINTED AT NOT BEING DISAPPOINTED
Partly as a hobby, partly as a bit of a challenge, I decided, earlier this year, that I'd have a go at writing a review of every gig, show, play and film I go to, and post them on my other blog. Knowing that, once August arrived, I would be committing myself to a fair bit of 'work'.
There's no pretence I have any degree of expertise in any of the fields I'm critiquing, these are just my views on what I've seen. I've tried to be as honest as possible, even if that meant being heavily critical of someone I might like as a person. If just a few people find one of these posts helps point them towards something new they'll enjoy, or helps them avoid something awful, then I'll feel it's been of use.
So it's important that I do reflect the negative as well as the positive. Nobody is going to place any trust in a review blog that simply heaps praise on each and every event covered. Last night I wrote about Nina Conti, a show that was hilarious overall, but had a couple of weak spots and I made sure I mentioned them too.
But what to write on a day like today. Three shows, three great experiences, three I'd happily see again. I can make minor carping noises about one, because it was the first performance and clearly it needed a little more familiarity, but that will be there within days. Otherwise.... it was all just bloody brilliant. Honest.
Roll on the day when I see something a bit shit again and I can regain some credibility.
What a fabulous day,
All warm and sunny,
Three great shows,
They were all very funny
Though I would look better
And less of a tit
If even one
Had been just a bit shit
