World Buskers Festival -Christchurch, NZ Jan 22 to Feb 01
January 25th 2009 07:22
Another year is upon us and that means, it's time for the World Buskers Festival here in the garden city. So after a little bit of a break from blogging, I thought I had better take a peek.
I went on Fri 23 with a few friends and it was a balmy evening, just right for sitting outside and relaxing.
For this show Buskers Comedy Club, the hosts were Daredevil Chicken Club
They appeared to be a husband and wife team who I must say, did some interesting tricks with a bannana. They introduced each act as well as growing more risky as the night drew on, but the crowd enjoyed the humour, even the few victims who were waylaid by them.
Next up was Mark Sainsbury from Close Up who was the guest to try a special sandwich made the next act Rob Williams who can make sandwiches with his feet. This went out live on tv 1.
Eating a foot made sarnie, the price of showbusiness lol
The next act up was the comic clown Fraser Hooper, who gave the crowd plenty of laughs with his eccentric dance routines and classic clowning.
It was then time for The Daredevil Chicken club to appear once more.
Can't recall who the next act was, although he was very good had had some members of the audience doing a crazy dance (even if one of them was a bit slow though) lol
Next up was the very talented Mr Fish
Now the only really duff act in the show was a girl from New York and her hula hoops, wasn't that funny and wasn't that good working the crowd either.
The next act on was something else altogether!! The just amazing Russian Bar Trio who are actually from Canada. The mid air back flips that Christine was able to do, were just amazing and you could almost feel everyone in the audience stop breathing, the higher she went.
Overall a great showcase of talent and comic genuis and 3 hours well spent, roll on next year.

But you are so right about noise as I work in a busy office, with phones ringing, keyboards clattering, photocopy machines, beeping, clanking or not working, air con humming etc, so I really understand what it is like to get away from it all.

Thats a tough one, all depends on how you feel about the ex, his friend and would you like him to go out with one of your friends really if the scenero was reversed? I would go for further afield as more likely to meet another group of new friends etc. But then sometimes the heart over rules the head.
good luck with whatever path you decide upon
