A Little Elbow Room…
There was a little anxiety on Thursday night as I fronted up to The Paddo Tavern in Brisbane. Having helped arrange the work Christmas Party (and talking it up amongst my work colleagues) I really hoped it was going to be a fantastic night.
As it was, I need not have worried.
The bar staff in The Paddo were great, supplying us with drinks and nibblies in our private Trophy Room venue.
We then ventured downstairs for our two course dinner at The Sit Down Comedy Club, which comprised of either lasagne, chicken or lamb with lemon tart or plum pudding for dessert.
The comedy was great with thanks to our MC, veteran funny man, Paul Brasch.
One legged comedian Gary Fludder amused us with anecdotes about how he lost his leg and what to do if attacked by a shark (see the connection there?!).
Second support comic Mark Werner hit the stage and had us all laughing with his comedic antics before our headliner act “Elbow Skin” ended the night.
This singing duo entertained the crowd of nearly 200 with little ditties about love, life, girlfriends, Hitler, beer, and an Audi car. A winner amongst the folks at work, I was relieved to hear satisfied comments about the great food, drinks and entertainment.
Huzzah for a successful Christmas Party… and now to begin planning one for 2012!
The Sit Down Comedy Club is located at 186 Given Terrace, Paddington just out of Brisbane.
