Ve haf vays of making you laugh......

I suppose the clue should have been in the title- 'Das Vegas Nights', but we didn't expect the show we got. But more of that later, we had a whole day to fill before that show.
In Rundle Mall our day started with a couple of Japanese Artists, Gabez, they are a dance duo who do silent improvised comedy, once again including children from the audience. Full of fun and very fast, we laughed from start to finish.

They were followed by Tallulah and the ladder of men. A one woman act from Canada, (and didn't we know it, if she told us once she told us a thousand times!) she took four 'volunteers' from the audience and made them into a ladder. She was a big girl, so I hope that none of them have any lasting back problems from the experience! She could have been better, but we had a laugh at her antics for 45 minutes.

The cavern is a cellar bar, very dark and a little dismal, dedicated to the Beatles. But it wasn't they we had come to see, it was the 'Ray Charles Experience'. A very high energy performance from a guy who was probably in his late sixties, he sang and tap danced around the stage for ninety minutes almost without a pause, adding his own brand of comedy and stories from Ray Charles's life. This guy is certainly an all round entertainer, although Ray Charles's music is not really my scene, Anne was on her feet and loving every minute of it.

Then a long walk to the Garden, to see our late show of the evening, 'Das Vegas Nights'. Hmmm... what did we expect from Londoner Frank Sanazi? Probably a bit of Sinatra, and we  got that, but with lyrics even Frank would not have sung. He was certainly not politically correct, dressed as Hitler in a dinner suit, and making jokes and actions that would have been OK in Germany during the second war. But that aside he was amusing, sang well, and could have taken off Sinatra straight. I suspect that was how he started before he got into this right wing stuff. Supported by a girl who played several parts, it was a show that was right for late night, and not a swear word in sight, which is very unusual for this type of act.

I shall leave you once again with some more of my favourite buildings in Adelaide.
