Day 76

going up to auckland means fun times - well 'catching up' times that is for sure. it actually is usually a mad panic of flying around spending an hour here and an hour there with various friends. this weekend i was going up for a friend's end of season sports dinner...but more about that tomorrow.
tonite i, finally, got to meet my friend nikki's sisters and have a great nite to boot. my gosh did we all have so much fun.
the evening started at one of the blister's for burritos and the precursor to the events ahead at the comedy club...although personally, i think it was the main event....well on even par at least. i have not laughed so much in such a long time.
the evening started with a presentation by nikki, to adam, of a "man badge"....which was awarded to him for 'treating lilmac like a princess'. noice one nik...i was already in tears after that.
between the eight of us at dinner, we had more than our fair share of hilarious stories to be told!
once we got to the comedy club it just kept going. we decided we'd s at the back, to avoid being 'picked on'...well actually it was just that we were such a big group and late! besides that so did not work.....i affectionately became known as 'kirsty from chriiiiiiiist-church'(you really have to hear it - kinda sounds like a witch)...and nikki became known as 'informative woman', after one semi-monotone & somewhat serious explanation of...something, i forget already...there was so much more after that.
the show we went to was a late night gig on as part of the international comedy festival in auckland. we had no idea who was going to be performing until we got there.....i have to say we had a pretty great bunch of comedians....nice one!
dan nightingale was our compare for the evening....the lovely gentleman who gave nikki and i our alter-egos
joining him for the evening were:
hannah gadsby
brendhan lovegrove
jason cook
oh and another kiwi and an aussie whose names escape me.....obviously not as great as the others.....maybe
