Was running late for this performance but as soon as I walked in I knew I'd made a mistake. No escape! One man monologue that was billed as a comedy but was actually a really disturbing tale of this guy who worked in IT and read and intercepted colleagues emails. Ends up becoming infactuated(sp?) with one and killing another. This was made eerier with the theatre space being inside a vault.


12.45am, Phat Cave, Gilded Balloon

Noni wanted a night off so I wandered to Bristo Square on my ownsome to catch a late show. Got a free entry (Mickey D snuck me in) to Phat Cave, which was great as I only had 40p in my purse, having paid rent that day - getting any more £££'s out of the ATM was not an option. Hung around for 20 minutes or so talking to various comedians in the Adelaide comedy scene, some nice and others are ridiculously up themselves - you are now on my blacklist Rohan Harry and Kath Dwyer! Phat Cave had good guests on, amongst the Sista She, Gamarjobat (like a funnier, Japanese version of the Umbillical Brothers), Tania Lee Donnelly (a midget standup), Fleetwood Mick and more. Luckily I didn't have to work the next day as that didn't wind down until just before 4am. Nice to live so close - I was tucked up in bed less that 10 minutes later.
