Last night we took the Glue show on the road and visited East Kilbride Arts Centre. Safe to say we brought the ruckus once again. A different type of audience than we're used to we had a few Senior Citizens in among the 36 paying customers.Some of the sketches didn't go down as well as they have in the past, but then again some of them including a couple of the new ones, went down an absolute storm. It was nice to play in an actual theatre, with a dressing room, entrances from behind curtains, lighting effects, spotlights and all that kind of stuff.
Bertie again seemed to be a big favourite among the audience. We may be forced into giving him a longer slot.
I came closer than I ever have to losing it on stage. Ironically during a sketch that the audience didn't seem to find funny. Fraser gave a line as 'Jack Nicklaus' instead of 'Jack Nicholson'. No biggie, what threw me however, was I could clearly hear Darran laughing from behind the curtain.
The next project for us is coming up with a load of stuff for Sabotage which has recently acquired Still Game director Michael Hines in the director's chair. Quick on the heels of that though is the next YOMG at the end of the month. And with a new girl to slot in we'll have to find our mojo to get a few new sketches written.

Good to see it went well. Darran is officially "wacky photo guy" - he should never be allowed to have a straight face in any cast photo you have taken.

Well the problem with Darran is no one knows what he's doing when he's behind you. That was the best photograph of several taken that afternoon. I think there will come a time when his daft coupon is what is bringing people in to the shows.
