Attended The Party at the Brisbane Comedy Festival. After having been at the box for the last few years' Melbourne Comedy Festival televised event, it has occurred to me that the greater the fame and popularity of a comedian the greater, and more direct, inverse relationship there is with any unique or original comedic value.  I mean really, no-one wants to see another lame staged tiff between Lano and Woodley, or grit their teeth through Hughesy the Hack.
But The Party at the powerhouse showed originality, wit, eagle eyes for details and an eloquent, articulate and downright hilarious delivery of the world around us.
It was the perfect pick me up after this party princess had been feeling low following a particularly dodgy meal in Chinatown (never again will I tempt fate by ordering "the fowl"). I eased my tumbling tummy with a bottle of house red - after all a recent study has shown drinking red wine to be slimming! apparently the calories in alcohol are processed by our bodies differently to those calories in food thus leaving our alcohol calories almost negated!
Who would have thunk it! And all this time I just assumed it was all that sexually charged dancing I did after a bottle of red wine!
I have decided to get off the carousel and join the crusade now - The Party Crusade - a crusade in search of parties, exhilaration and (now that I have permission) Red Wine!
