Global Virtually Hilarious Comedy - more Socks gigs

Two Socks Zoom gigs this week, both great, and both with an international flavour. The first, Global by name, wasn't that global by nature though it had a good line up of John O' Keeffe, Lubna Kerr, Madge vs Mariuh (first double act I've seen on Zoom, worked well), Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre, Kathy O’Bryan, John Morris & Gareth Ball. The Socks gave them the first part of the Magic routine this time.

Virtually Hilarious really was the global gig of the week, and the best attended. That had over 40 viewers, which they admitted was their biggest yet. Certainly the biggest we've played to apart from Mortified in Tamworth, Dean's gigs, and our own shows. Most of the open mikes have struggled to fill one screen, so well done Virtually.

The acts were dotted all round Europe, the host being in Prague and the MC in Barcelona. The line up, from  Vienna and a few other places were mostly American, with a couple of Brits and us. A very high standard of professional comedy, and we acquitted ourselves rather well. They were Tristan Barber, Sravanthi Basa, Matthew Murtha, Paul Jacobs, Scottish Falsetto Socks, Tori Burton (an excellent "Tori Talk" with powerpoint cartoon slides about her experiences as a pole dancer) & Jack Holmes. We gave them An Actor Prepares, which went really well. A 10 minute slot.

Coming up we have:

March 16 - Late Stage Comedy

March 18 - Darren Hoskins Cabaret

March 19 - our own solo show

March 26 - Notts Puppet Festival (details tbc)

April 4 - Sounds Proper

April 10 - Private party

April 16 - Blue Suede News

April 23 - 27 Minute Comedy Hour

We sure are squeezing these Zoom gigs in while we can, looking forward to get some real live gigs lined up by the summer (though we'll keep our Zoom gigs going on a monthly basis, I think).
