Yesterday, at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Chris and I bought two tickets for Aladdin on a whim. It was described as a pantomime, and we made the assumption it was going to be like the Lion King, with elaborate puppet costumes. Boy were we wrong. As we approached the theatre we saw huge press photos of the play on the marquis. Eccentric makeup and oversized clothing were donned upon the actors. 'A show for the whole family!' Turns out a pantomime is a traditional show where everyone in the audience participates. I felt like I was in a cabaret Catholic service. There was never a 5 minute span of time without an hilarious sexual inuendo or word pun. Think Hot Shots meets Rocky Horror Picture Show in Peking, China and you may get the idea. What makes things funnier is that Ian McKellen (Gandalf, Magneto) played Aladdin's widowed Mother Twankey. 'The doctors told me we had a lad in, so that's what we called him!' The review is poor, but forgive the poor man, he's seen one too many pantomimes. I, however have seen only one.

Next Friday I'm going to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain in Camdentown. I'll try and get pictures of Camdentown, but it's intimidating with all the punks and such. Seriously, two-foot mohawks, Dock Martins, ripped leather. You know if they've ripped their leather they've done some hardcore shit. I can throw my uke at them.
