Saw one of the funniest magicians I've ever seen tonight, Michael Finney (at the magic convention - see yesterday's blog). Actually, he was one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen, the magic (although very good) was incidental. What was even more remarkable was that the audience were pretty cold and seemed to be unsure about him at first but by the end of his act the audience were crying with laughter and in danger of rushing the stage to carry him out on their shoulders. If you ever get the chance to see Michael Finney make sure you do; he mainly works in the U.S. but you never know, he may just crop up at a comedy club or theatre near you. Just driven back from Western Super Mare so very tired and can't write much more; hence this blog entry reading like a society report from a provincial magic club magazine… you've never read one? Christ, you don't know how lucky you are.
