It's my party at the Garrick

I was perusing the reviews and came across Melz's request for someone who'd seen this show to tell her what they think of said show. And then I noticed the poor girl gets villified for asking the question. And so she bloody should! Why in the world you'd want to know what anyone thought is beyond me! Okay, so you were turning them away at the door! So what if there's a fire! Bet you didn't think about of that when you were hanging them from the rafters! Not for us a full house, oh know, we'd much rather retain our audience of five for safety reasons. And, we wouldn't publicise our shows in this forum, how crass! Why would we tell anyone that we have a show on at The Nexus Theatre in May! May 1st - 5th... to do so would be simply vulgarity at its extremities! PS: You reviewers out there, be warned! Stay well away! We don't want your kind loitering around out show! The rest of you of course are invited to join us, but don't think of telling anyone what a great show you saw, we wouldn't want you doing that would we?

I had to read this twice before I got the true sarcasm of it. Yes, let's invite no-one but those people who have their lips stichted shut, hands cut off and are immobile from the waist down. That way we can keep all our talent and efforts underwraps. No-one will ever know how good (or bad) we are.

Maybe we should also glue their eyes shut, just in case.

As for 'Grim's a Wally', at least you know what you missed. If someone had posted a 'review' earlier, then you maight have had better warning don't you think? Besides which, a review is not necessarily advertising in the normal sense. Most professional reviewers review after the show is finished. It's a REVIEW, no a PREVIEW.
