Job. Yes, if you've seen the news about the Melbourne Comedy Festival gala being canceled last night, I was there. I was backstage waiting to go on and it was quite the night. I mean, obviously, first of all, thoughts and all of that to the family of the poor person that passed away during the start of the show up in the dress circle of the Palais Theater last night. Comics were on stage performing at the time. This beautiful comic called Amy from the UK. She was on stage at the time, and it stopped down because people from the dress circle were yelling show to stop the show right, So we started to hear a bit of commotion. But our first thought backstage, because we've only got a feed of the monitors of the stage, is that we were thinking maybe protesters, because it was a few too many people to be Heckler's And obviously what has happened is there's been some miscommunication from the dress circle down to the down to the stalls, down to the wings into the backstage to the festival to say there's a real proper medical emergency happening here, so I think the Melbourn Comedy Festival. You know, Susan Proven, the festival director, took to the stage. You never see her, she's you know, behind the scenes, she's she's the head honcho and.

Correct. She got up on stage and announced that the show would not go on out of respect and fair enough. But it was a very confusing night because I was about three comics away from moving going on, so I was about twelve minutes off going on stage. She was going up the roller coaster of you know, like energizing myself, and I'd been moved to one of the first holding pens to the side, so I didn't really You sort of get moved from pen to pen as you get closer to the stage because it's all like a very well oiled machine.

A thing to what a thing to to happen, so sad, but also to experience as another audience member to see that and be around that, be witnessed to it. But then also you do think about how huge that event is and all of you backstage and all of the time and efforts.

So until I think Amy realized that it was really serious, you know, you can't you kin'd of push through a bit of commotion happening in the crowd, especially when you're trying to do your best four minutes on the gala.
