Post Script

I had planned the end of my Comedy Festival vacation carefully. But you can't plan everything that comes up. How viby the rest of the audience will be, what surprise guests Ali McGregor will have lined up in her late night variety show (the Axis of Awesome were pretty good), or who you will meet on the stairs going up to the Supper Room at the M.T.H.

I'd been wondering if I would run into Reginald D. Hunter again and there he was on the stairs looking full of beans. I said "hi" and we hugged (clumsily) and then it occured to me that he might have no idea who I was. So I explained we met at the Hotel William in 2008 but he was none the wiser. He had no recollection of the gig. I told him my name and he went off down the steps muttering it, no doubt wondering if we'd made love (sorry buddy, only in my dreams).

Ali McGregor's guests included Barry Crocker and they did a wonderful rendition of "so in love with you am I" from "Kiss me Kate". He's still got it and so has Ali's side kick Asher Treleven who did a strip (all packed tightly into his budgy smugglers). It was the high point of the evening (the song not the strip).
