Greg Proops: Live
Enmore Theatre
16 April 2011
Friends: Jessica Hawken

Ever since I saw Greg Proops' stand-up (probably on one of the Montreal Comedy Festival Galas some years ago), I've always said: "I NEED TO SEE HIM LIVE!" But alas, the same old dilemma presented itself any time Greg was in Sydney: Hannah is broke and cannot buy anything. This situation was made redundant however by A-List Entertainment giving me some free tickets I won in a competition. RESULT!

The night was absolutely hilarious before the show even started, as I went with a friend who I absolutely love and we were finally able to get together and discuss AVPM in detail whilst listening to the soundtrack in the car on the way to the Enmore. Can you think of a better way to spend the majority of 2 hours? I can't. Pure joy.

For complimentary tickets, our seats were pretty good! Even though they were row S in the stalls, the Enmore Theatre yet again ceases to amaze.

And now of course, Proopsy. Just amazing! Even though some material I had watched/heard before it was excellent to see live and was still hilarious. "Oh, surely there'll be a shop open" gets me every time. Proops is a master of the English language and I particularly reveled in his eloquent display of our fine language. Exemplary show. Brilliant comic.

Of course we did the whole, going to the stage door, waiting in the cold in the hope of meeting the great man himself. Somehow just waiting around always brings some hilarious conversations; furthered by meeting fellow fans and amusing each other. Greg did eventually come out and greet everyone and was generous enough to give us some of his time in the Sydney cold. So very kind and humble and nice and awesome and superfluous. Photos were taken, chats exchanged; excellent way to end the show.

Topping off the evening featured pizza, hilarious chats and getting temporarily lost whilst going in the right direction. I hope more nights will be like this in the future.
