Edinburgh Day #5 - Ladma’s best and worst fan

One problem with doing a free comedy slot at a pub is that you inevitably get inebriated audience members. This can either be a good or a bad thing. Some drunk people will laugh at anything, some fall asleep or mock you. Today it was all. The audience member in question was a middle aged Scotswoman from Loch Loman. All throughout the show she provided hearty and regular laughs even to events that were mundane, such as picking up a hat.

However, there is a small amount of audience participation in the show where all that is required is gleaning the person’s name. The woman in question was asleep when first asked. She then said her name was Michael and then gave a response that word for word was Dan’s punch line. This didn’t faze Dan as he had a backup punch line. That bit of interaction finishes with Dan handing the audience member his half drunken bottle of Volvic. When the bottle was returned it was empty. She ended up donating ten pounds. Not bad for half a bottle of Volvic.
