Thanks to the good offices of my friend Ellie I found myself in the King's Head Theatre on Saturday with the lovely Iona and Sophia (London's queen of cakes). We were there to see the Translucent Frogs of Quuup. Which is a play. Not a kind of frog.



It was brilliant; absolutely my favourite kind of play, which is to say funny, nonsensical and expertly performed. My two favourite theatre companies are The Right Size and Rejects Revenge and this show was of that ilk. Indeed it turns out Chris Larner the main man writes music for the Right Size. Best of all these sorts of shows are really what the theatre is for, if you ask me, which I admit you didn't but there you go you can have that one for free. They wouldn't work on the telly. They would be funny but it wouldn't be as magical as seeing it done live - right in front of your eyes. In the theatre you get a chance to really revel in the talent of the performers (Ms. Rosalie Craig you are A: Beautiful B: Fantastically talented). It was a real treat.

But then again that sort of brilliance is 5 parts inspiring to 2 parts heartbreaking for someone like me. I'm in a comedy show, I think its quite original,I think its quite funny. But I don't think it's as good as what I saw on Saturday. So I either give up - or try to do it better.

Reminds me of a quote I heard once from Speach, MC with early 90s concscious HipHop combo Arrested Development. On first hearing Public Enemy's Rebel without a Pause he says he wanted to quit music as he could never make anything as good. But then he decided to be inspired and carried on. Turns out he was right first time :)
