So tonight I went to see Wayne Brady, from Who's Line Is It Anyway, at QPAC (Queensland Performing Arts Complex). The name of the programme was "Making S%!t Up" and it was a mix of his improv show, plus his singing talents.
Personally I thought the whole thing was very good. A world class performer in a relatively decent venue - what more could you want? Oh yeah. Cheaper tickets.
Would you believe that tickets for this cost $89! $89! That's like £45! I mean, seriously?! I would only pay that for a really famous, really top class performance in London - and I got to see lots of famous people, and lots of top class performances, for half the price! Still, that's what it cost, so that's what I paid.
I guess I got my money's worth. I mean, he was very good, the improv was good (his part of it anyway) - but the bad bit was they played some of the games from Who's Line Is It Anyway (not a problem) - but with some of the audience members. Now to be perfectly frank, it was bad enough to pay $89 for the professional - but $89 to watch a bunch of audience wannabes get up and do not very much at all - not so good.
After his improv set, he did a vocal set - but most people had come to see the improv, so it was really lost on them. I thought he was good though - good enough at least to buy the CD!
Anyway, for my first concert at QPAC in 11 years - it was pretty good. He's well worth seeing, if you ever get the chance...
