Having heard Al Murray on JAM tonight I thought I share a recent facebook post I made. It's meant to be funny. I booked my seat in the theatre 1 week before the show having waited for the JAM recording ticket draw. I didn't win a ticket. So I booked to see Al and miraculously a front centre seat was available. ..........
So tonight I found myself front centre at Al Murray's Let's Go Backwards Together...he wore a belt with the initials LGBT. He came on an demanded a handshake from the centre fronts including me, and then whizzed beer at us, causing me to duck. Then he demanded to know what the front row did. He asked my name and what I did. I'm a wildlife consultant I said. He loved that. Something different for him. Lots of impressions of squirrels, and jokes with badgers and such. He asked ...who I was with. He liked the fact I had turned up alone. No wife to answer to. A free spirit. No wife to explain to that I had spent the day messing with squirrels and rabbits. He was busy chucking around pork scratchings, and I asked if he did a vegetarian option. Lots of his rhetorical musings ended up with Dave at the end, which was nice. He then got a bit dirty (he'd been dirty for a bit actually) and decided that I and an old bloke he was involving were to be made examples of. He said it was quite easy for me to expose myself. All I needed to do was take a photo of my todger on my phone and post it as I liked....I waved my phone. Whereas the old feller, in his day, had to find a park, select what mack to wear, select the victims and show his all, and ensure a quick getaway - he wasn't quite sure as the old bloke was the expert. But me, turning back to me, all I did was post a photo.. Shame on me he said, I had I easy. I put my head in my hands as the audience repeated Shame, Shame. But he took his hat off to the old bloke who was the picture of British pluck and hard work in arduous circumstances. We gave him three cheers. He got the front row to chant It's a joke, it's a joke, so we all knew. As you can see I enjoyed the evening greatly. I am posting a picture of Al Murray, but NOT my todger.
