Time to Weep http://thisissiberianhusky.com/2012/04/28/micf-done-its-over-time-to-weep/ http://thisissiberianhusky.com/2012/04/28/micf-done-its-over-time-to-weep/#comments Sat, 28 Apr 2012 02:50:52 +0000 simon http://thisissiberianhusky.com/?p=621

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival has come to an end and I, for one, blame Einstein. I think we can all agree there is no need to qualify that statement.

Thanks to all who braved the sweat and equine dangers to see This is Siberian Husky’s Boneshaker. As promised, it was a hell of a ride.  The show was named in the Herald Sun’s top five shows to see during the festival and to top it all off, This is Siberian Husky performed at the Moosehead Benefit on closing night.

Boneshaker was produced with assistance from the Moosehead Awards and the Comedy Channel and with no help whatsoever from Albert Einstein, whose theories on warping of space-time continue to be bothersome.

The stage is set. Two weeks ’til Boneshaker rides away into the sunset… well towards it. You ride into the sun and there’s a fair chance of being incinerated. Suppose it depends if you’re wearing a protective visor, or not.
