Hello. Steve Wrigley here. I confess. All the other shows I ever wrote a blurb for. It was me, writing in the third person.
"In this show, Wrigley will change the way you look at comedy..." - I wrote that in the blurb for the my first ever live show at the NZ Comedy Festival in 2007. Or should I say, 'Steve Wrigley wrote that in the promotional blurb for his 2007 festival show, of which one critic said 'not so much offensive as poorly pitched' and 'his once-receptive audience has gone quiet'' Yup. In that show I failed.
But that was ages ago.
Since then, I've been on TV, toured the nation and even married the worlds most perfect woman. Seriously she's a goddess. If she ever revealed herself to me to be the worlds most perfect love droid, no surprises. The point is, I'm really good at this comedy thing now, and I haven't been to the Hawkes Bay for a while.
The last time I was there was for the 7 Days tour, and I only got 6 minutes of precious precious time with you. It was pretty awesome though, we all agree. So I'm coming back to do an hour. It's only $20 because I want as many people to make it as possible. It'll be great. Don't come if you are a dick though. And if you see any dicks trying to grab tickets... tell them to sit down the front please.
See you there!
Wriggles.
PS: Now whenever you read a blurb on this site... think about the performer writing it in the third person... If you can fool yourself into thinking Rihanna wrote hers when you read it, it's pretty hilarious.
PPS: If you read this far, of course you can get a photo mate!
