DD and I went to see a comedian called Taylor Tomlinson at the State Theatre last night.
She is very funny. Check her out on Netflix.
DD had a business call beforehand, so we were running late and decided to ditch the bus into town for a taxi.
We headed to the local pub thinking it would be a good spot to hail one.
A cab was waiting about six cars down from the traffic lights. We hustled our way towards it and felt triumphant as the lights turned red and it missed its turn.
I ran to hail it and tumbled off the curb onto my hands and knees on the bitumen.
And I think that was the first time “I had a fall”.
As Toni Lodge notes in this Tik Tok: “At what age do you start saying you had a fall?” ie had a fall versus fell over …
I’m pretty sure it was a fall …
As comedian Ryan Hamilton also notes, tripping = young, falling = old.
During my fall I grazed my right knee and hurt my left ankle and right wrist.
But I am tough, so we jumped into the cab and raced to the show. We didn’t have any Nurofen, so I went to the bar and got myself a rosé instead.
Now I know I just backed up from the National Wine Show, but I promise I had rest days on Sunday and Monday.
Anyways, the only pink wine was Mateus Rosé. What the actual? And it was TERRIBLE.
My ankle and wrist were throbbing and I was very annoyed to be drinking TERRIBLE Mateus Rosé, so DD went and got me a Prosecco … which was also TERRIBLE.
Whoever is in charge of the drinks list at the State Theatre really needs to reconsider their career choice.
Fortunately Taylor was very funny and we had a great time. Best comedy show I’ve seen in forever.
We were also the oldest people in the room, but anyways …
Here are some moments from her Netflix special:
