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?

It pays to advertise even

It pays to advertise even when the show is already sold out so all you'll do is disappoint people if they try to get to see the show as a result of that advertising? Yeah, that makes *real* sense.

Read twice

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.

Shame that Johnny boy said

Shame that Johnny boy said "It pays to advertise" when defending the plea for a review, in that case.

The obvious

Actually, he didn't. An anon poster said that. Just thought you should know. ;-)

Grim's a wally

I can confirm that Grim is not only a Wally, he's an absolute nutter! I tried to decipher his original blog but I couldn't make head nor tails of it... Grim is actually quite fond of his new monicker, he's been singing it all day ...'Grim's a wally la la la!' Right now he's just sitting in the corner gazing at the cobwebs forming on the cornice, muttering something about subliminal messages and sell out performances...beyond the dream, high on a hill in Eldorado... the ambulance is on it's way Grim... what was that? Tell them what?...Grim just wants you to know that the show at the Nexus in May will proceed straightjacket or no straightjacket... eee haw...eeh haw! A Wally in sane productions
