The Little Dum Dum Club (3)
14th April 2013
"It tickles".
Actually it was more like “Argh! It tickles."
That was Tommy Dassalo having his nipple sucked/licked on stage by someone pretending to be Javier Bardem's character from Skyfall.
He had dentures a blonde wig and a cravat.
I, and it turns out a few people didn't know who he was.
Let's backtrack a little bit.
Lots of people queuing up for The Little Dum Dum Club, so much so this time instead of queuing us along the corridor they (the comedy festival people) had us (us the audience) on the stairs of the Melbourne Town Hall, which was neither good nor bad. A little cool. I say neither good nor bad because once they got use to move and we were outside of the wind it all felt a little too warm with lots of breath and stuff from people around. I think I preferred the cold air really.
I took a seat up the front; the front row. After the first time (see below) I decided to sit in the front row for subsequent performances. If you're going to see live comedy you might as well get up as close as you can to experience them first hand without any distance between you.
Tonight though was quite, well it was more than a little bit weird.
It was a little bit TOFOP, but on TOFOP Wil and Charlie (or guest Charlie) just talk about gay time travel sex.
On The Little Dum Dum Club we actually got that, not too much of the time travel, more like switching realities. So a splash of FanFiction Comedy as well as TOFOP.
The guests for the night were Bart Freebairn and Sam Simmons, and a third guest.
I'm no fan of Sam Simmons (something I may explain in a future post, I'm not sure), but seeing him on the Club I appreciate that he is humorous, but his humour is not something for me.
Bart was also funny, he's someone whose show I considered seeing during the festival but couldn't schedule it near any of the other shows I was already seeing.
The third guest I didn't find out his name until after the show from Karl Chandler. Although when he told me and two other guys who he was, because it was noisy I didn't quite get his name. I only heard that his name was James...something and that he does various characters and was American. It was only much later in a tweet did I find out his name was James Adomian.
The third guest came out on stage to the Skyfall music. Dressed as Silva, the character Javier Bardem played in the movie of the same name.
Silva's character in Skyfall was also quite flirty with Bond and Adomian was playing that element up quite...heavily.
Very quickly The Little Dm Dum Club devolved into what could be surmised as a gay softcore version of Skyfall with Tommy Dassalo as James Bond. Karl I think would be Ms Moneypenny. Sam Simmons M and Bart the bloke who takes over from M (Gareth Mallory, Ralph Fiennes’ character).
I've possibly gone a little far with that analogy.
Though the show did end with water being spilled much like Skyfall, whose final acts involved water.
Javier, as Tommy continued to refer to him as, was quite physical. He really freaked Sam out with how he was behaving / looking. Which was odd to hear Simmons say that because I have a similar reaction to Simmons.
Tommy Dassalo has some hair on his chest.
How do I know this?
Because Javier unbuttoned Tommy's shirt. Which was rather deft considering he was holding the mic at the same time.
He probably unbuttoned about 4 buttons down.
Then he brought a (toy) gun out and started to re-enact some parts of Skyfall, threatening Tommy and later Karl.
Karl seemed quite...perturbed, after it he thought it was quite weird. That makes at least two of us.
During the show, it was really funny, like so funny I thought I was going to run out of oxygen laughing so much.
Then, Javier went back to Tommy's chest and started to lick his nipple.
It was a truly bizarre thing. None of it is going to come out in the podcast because Javier was having a lot of problems with his dentures.
A lot of mumbling and guttural noises as well as mumbling.
Also most of what he was doing was quite visual.
It was a truly strange bizarre way to end the official run of The Little Dum Dum Club live podcasts of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2013. I am really glad that I went to this and the other podcast shows. Amazing value for the strange bizarre happenings that have occurred in this and the other shows.
