Billy Connolly

 
Urban Hunk has been working very hard so it was great to have a night out together and enjoy a show.  Tonight was Billy Connolly who has sold out 25 shows, including 6 at the Opera House.  We were lucky to get seats so I warned Urban Hunk we might be sitting closer to the roof than the stage.  I had also forgotten my glasses and they don't have large screens at the elegant and dignified Opera House.  It took me forever to decide on the tickets and whether to pay for seats that could be up near the rafters, I wasn't sure of the layout because I haven't been to this section of the Opera House, so much internal chatter I was exhausted before I finally bought them.  Arriving in good time before the show we made our way to the seats, wow, we're in the centre in an elevated position, fantastic, I felt so lucky, I didn't even need my glasses.  I tried to only sip my lemon, lime bitters so I wouldn't have to go the bathroom half through the performance.  The last thing I need is to be heckled!
 
Billy Connolly has this animated and off-the-cuff intensity that has you caught up in every story.  He has a great outlook on life and reminds you not to take life so seriously.  Thankfully I embarrass myself enough to be able to laugh at myself daily and Urban Hunk will often find great amusement out of my exploits, a few I can't even bare to write about.  Great night.
