Comedy, ha ha ha!

Saturday was spent in the library, and at night we watched 'We are most amused' - a comedy show in celebration of Prince Charles's 60th birthday, and there were some really good acts. Tim loved Joan Rivers, we both laughed at Robin Williams (although it might have been a little too political) and discovered a - for us - new talent. (The Iranian?) Omid Djalili was absolutely great. I especially laughed at: "We from the Middle East, we don’t know much about comedy. We don’t even know basic joke construction. Like, for you, an Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotsman that is a joke. To us, that is a hostage situation."

Other than that, this was one of my favourites:


Funny was also Eric Idle in a tutu, singing "Always look at the bright side of life" (what else?), with a few new lines, like: "When you're sixty years of age, and you're Mum won't leave the stage, it's good to know that you're still Prince of Wales!" Poor man, he'll never become King...

But it is great to know, that even though I have moved to a country with a rather limited social security system, hardly any maternal leave (not to mention paternal!) and poor housing, then at least British comedy is brilliant!
