stand up & dance

last night, my friend and i went to a comedy improvisation contest. there were 4 teams of stand up comedians (Swiss, French, Beligan and a team from Quebec), and they had to improvise on themes given by the referee. kind of like 'whose line is it anyway?' in the UK. for example, there was one sketch where they were only allowed to say one word at the time. it was hilarious.

after the show, we headed for the nearest bar, which turned out to be some kind of road cafe/bar, that wouldn't have looked out of place on the American open road. it was horribly kitchy, but there was enough space for us all, and the 70's music was not altogether bad. some of it was accompanied by the original video, so we saw the Jackons, Boney M, and various people you didn't know the look of, as you'd only ever heard the songs.

i was on a total high, probably from having laughed so much, and so when one of the party decided to stand up and dance (at the table, but dance nonetheless), i followed suit. we did this pretty much all the time we were there, alternating between people. the other customers seemed to really enjoy the show, as some were clapping or whistling. it was fun! none of us thought we'd be there more than 20 mns, when we entered the bar, or that we would have that kind of fun.
