Back into the hate bunker for the last time.
Steele had a I Lover Green Guide Letters t-shirt around his neck in lieu of a cape, unlike last year's Capril where he went all Star Wars bed sheets on it.
Some people came in capes to the show, I was going to and then...forgot. I had other things on during the day and so it escaped my mind. Also the closest I have to a cape is a long frontier man’s coat, which is both epic and awkward. It’s great to walk along on a windy day wearing it because it billows up dramatically. Sitting down with it is a little more awkward. It splits up the back so you can wear it whilst riding a horse. But for the modern day sitting and seeing stuff, not so good.
The guests were...epic.
Bart Freebairn, Adam "the Snake" Richard and Fiona O'Laughlin.
Bart Freebairn, whom I've seen on a podcast here and there, wasn't the most outrageous in the room.
Fiona O'Loughlin is a comedian I've wanted to see for a while though have never been able to line up the other shows that I've wanted to see with the ones she's doing.
If it's anything like what happened in the I Love Green Guide Letters show on Saturday then I am sorry I've been missing out.
Where to start with Fiona O'Loughlin?
She doesn't look like she'd 50.
Late 30s maybe.
That’s probably the best place to start. I was seated at the front, where I’ve sat in all the shows bar one. I think what’s the point of sitting at the back or even one row away from the front. If you just want to listen, listen to the podcast. You want to be able to see the shocked unbelieving expressions on the guests / Steele’s face as it all goes off the rails.
Fiona hates Nicole Kidman.
There's a committee for the club that hates her.
Of both of those the only member is Fiona.
This show highlighted why you should see podcasts live.
Because Steele is going to be doing some pretty massive amount of editing to this episode (probably). The secret section may even be longer than the podcast. Likely with lots of “Mr Black” bits edited in.
Adam Richard was better with the litigious stuff having worked for the station that 'killed a nurse" he know where to put the allegedly-s and the "it's probably all lies" into his sentences to make sure he's absolved of any responsibility in what he says.
At one point it seemed like it was just Adam Richard and Fiona O'Loughlin chatting away. So much so Steele and Bart just seemed amazed, surprised and many other expressions passed between them.
I think this was my favourite I Love Green Guide Letters live podcast of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2014. I think, looking back at The Little Dum Dum Club and previous I Love Green Guide Letters live podcasts this was my favourite overall out of those two podcasts that I went to.
Brilliantly funny, somewhat insightful, things said unlikely to make it entirely into the podcast. Plus various things which don’t translate to audio, the looks Bart and Steele gave one another. The way Fiona O'Loughlin laughs. Adam Richard (just in general).
