What happens in the show?

Oran: Silly things!

Roo: There’s lots of jokes and videos and plenty of talk about poo.

O: They talk about poo and it’s funny.

R: It’s very funny and they showed a video and he dropped cheese onto a book and words that were in the holes of the cheese he readed and it was a pretty funny joke. 

What was the joke?

R: I can’t remember the joke. 

What did you like most about the show?

R: When we drawed a poo on a pogo stick.

O: Oh yeah, that was funny. A poo on a pogo stick is jumping on me. 

R: No it’s jumping on me.

O: Me!

R: Me!

O: Me! 

R: Both of us.

O: Me!

R: Me!

O [returning to the original question]: Everything.

[Later]: He was an idiot. 

Was there anything you didn’t like?

R: No

O: No

What did your grown-up think about the show?

It was a fun hour – well-practised, engaging crowd work and truly the least terrifying front row experience I’ve ever had. Five stars for the video of a squirrel sliding down a pole alone. He’s a likeable character, even if he did say some mean things about reviewers to us, the reviewers. 

Would you tell your friends to go to the show?

O: Maybe. 

Would you tell Alba? 

O: Yes. [to Alba] He’s a stupid guy! Olaf Falafel!

R: [nods solemnly]
