sideshow

The show last night was a lesson in improvisation that's fer sure.
I was told that some folks upon hearing about last weeks "Puking act" that Gunner Dizmal and I did decided not to come out to the Side show.
The two show bosses Mr.Batty and Mr. Creature decided after much debate to strike the Puke act from our set.
We had to decide a new state of affairs to perform two acts and the closer "Whats Up Your Ass?"
We are the opening number and the closer and we have a big problem.
All of our practiced materiel hinged on the Puke act bombing! Without the Puke act bombing we have no motivation to punish Gunner.
By the end of the night we had sorted it out and as usual Gunner was a bloody mess.
A thumb tack got stuck so far into his skull he had to remove it later.
On stage I was grabbing it, tugging it, all the other tacks fell out being pushed by blood but this one was buried.
It took a long time to convince the crowd members to staple 9/16 brads into his body.

My favorite part of last night was when the announcer William Batty took the mic and told a shocked crowd..."Hey this is the Hump Day five dollar show, ya wanna see the twenty dollar show come see me Sat."

I met a nice fellah called Orian online after posting a bulletin asking for a helper.
He was more helpful than he knew and we will be working together soon doing a house show.
