Update on our comedian!

Well we travelled to Hobart and dropped the kids off at Ryan parents place on Thursday and then drove to the Uni bar in SandyBay. We got there on time and Ryan was whisked off to have a chat with the organisers as to what the set up would be for the night. They had 18 contestants and they broke them down into three sets with a 5 minutes break between. The compare for the evening was a guy called Josh and he was really funny. He is a comedian and a Libraryian from Melbourne but was born here in Burnie. He opened the night and then he introduced the first act. The crowd was huge a good 100 or more there. It was also a very differnt crowd to the one in Launceston. Ryan was up in the second set and was really nervouse. He did a really good job but he didn't get chosen to go to Melbourne. The winner was a female who I thought was rather funny as she took the mickey out of Bindi Irwin and her serial killer eyes! I also have to say that a few of the people that competed had in fact ben in it the year before and had come runner up or had been performers in the uni revue for some time which means they had a little more edge over performing in front of a large crowd! But overall Ryan did a great job and he can now say that he has given it a go! After the competition finished we went ot Maccas for a late dinner date, Ryan thought he would try a Pounder burger, it has 4 burgers, and four slices of cheese. He then thought he would be tough and order a large fries!!!!!! I am happy to say that I ordered a cheesburger and a sunday! he managed to eat it all but he did feel a bit ill after, I say sucked in!
