Fat Eddies Comedy Night

Fat Eddies is a bar in Christchurch in the main drinking area called SOL square. SOL actually stands for South of Lichfield (street), very New York. I've been to this bar before and really like it. It's tucked in the corner of SOL square and you walk up stairs to get to it. I'd seen advertised a while ago that there was a comedy night on there on a Tuesday. I'd asked Zoe about it and we'd agreed to go, and finally got round to it this week.
Zoe picked up her new car on Tuesday and therefore wanted to chauffer us, which I wasn't complaining about. Her new car, please remember that the average age of a car over here is 12 years, she has a 1990 Toyota (Toy-motor) estate car. Zoe picked me up and then we went and picked Cass up, an Irish girl who is temping at Zoe's work. I've met Cass once before and she is dead easy to get along with, so no probs on the conversation front.
We arrived at Fat Eddies about an hour before the comedy show and I was suprised at how few people where there, mind you the majority of the bars where closed in SOL square. Now I am from Newcastle and this doesn't happen in my neck of the woods. Was also slightly odd that there was 4 other groups of people in the bar dotted around, but all where woman.
Any way, we found a table and had a good discussion about life the universe and everything (didn't come up with the answer 42 thou!!).
The comedy night was us and about 25 others supporting 3 guys on a stage. It took a wee bit of a while to get going and wasn't helped by one side of the audience not helping the guys out. Then they came over and asked me a question !! I think I helped out when suggested that they do something in the style of an action movie and it had to involve a mode of transport - so what did I say - unicycle!!! Just popped out of my mouth. They guys did well and had me, Zoe and Cass laughing.
The second half was one long skit. It was in the style of Shakespeare and the bit that still has me laughing is when one of the guy was playing a woman and was about to go into "the pool of skin-er-rey-dip-er-rey" - one of those you had to be there. The night gave my stomach a good work out with all the laughter. Would recommend it. Don't think people in Christchurch go out much during the week !!!
