Jan Maree was good, Millie - sometimes brilliant - and it was my favourite kind of stand-up, spinning marvellous gold from everyday straw. But the show would benefit hugely from a fierce and relentless edit to get rid of all the weak bits and the over-long bits, especially when she's spreading sweetness and light - I'm not saying she can't do that at all, but it has to be really brief and crisp.AnneEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00869114756713316204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3410197881114403536.post-33296280828702758382009-09-01T10:40:33.909+12:002009-09-01T10:40:33.909+12:00Hooray for Wellington on a Plate (but sad that I w...Hooray for Wellington on a Plate (but sad that I was away for most of it!) - looks like you got to sample a bit of what was on offer!

And when it had cooled a bit, she passed the spotted dick round the audience. It felt really, really... weird and horrible. Everyone kind of gasped or shrieked and passed it on quickly.M-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409916623998907121noreply@blogger.com
