oOo Felix feel da buuuuurn (Asthma is a serious problem)
altho dropping the ! and (well the Ak Comedy Mafia do anyway)... off "nz comedey does suck" is selective distortion of a possibly tongue in cheek comment, words on a screen hard to see context eh.
To quote the sage council of anti-high brow wankery campigner Jackie
"And isn't it great that we are all different."
NZ comedy is fun :P

And so you do. And it is bloody awful.
What are you going to do?
Are you going to be true to yourself and your readers knowing that you might kneecap their season, and piss off people you actually liked?
Interesting. Complex. Ye olde objectivity argument. Ethically I personally write "**I think** it's bloody awful".
I argue from the grounds that if you, as the critic, do have a wider frame of reference the production will use your review to get better, the public go to see the show as they realise one persons opinion is just that (albeit with the wider reference but tempered with the personal pronoun), your friends production presumably would have been reviewed by another critic anyway and if its bloody awful surely they would say so and (now I'm bending your analogy) if something is 100% awful the only way is up, baby.
Also Quardle Oodle re the anti-critc stance / understudy:
And how must the understudy feel? Imagine if no one had turned up to see Kiri Te Kanawa as the last minute replacement in Otello at the Met in 1974.
= consummate example.

the progressives have a candidate running for christchurch mayorilty on a platform of pro-economic development and pro-free education insurance policy, (now that gaz has got 87 directorships) that ll please jim.
also re chronicle of higher education article on iraqi professors being shot up reminds me of hitler burning books, china rewriting histories and the us business party exploiting global system to dominate energy supply and manipulate soverign states. marvellous

Do for the love of it ... version - Salmonella Dub, nothing worse for me than a comic who is trying too hard, which to me is why seeing dylan moran was great as he (acts) like he couldnt give a fuck if you laugh or not (maybe thats just how i have created him as a character re black books, very savvy end to series too, very faulty towers). To me its the stage presence as well, which translates into audience intimacy and participation, people go to a show to be entertained so seem more 'primed' to enjoy and laugh. really don't understand heckling, someone explain? it seems so wannabe.
