Fun at the Festivals.

We’ve tried to catch a few shows in between attending the Writers session. There’s so much on it gets hard to fit it all in.

We went to the State Library into the beautiful old Mortlock Chambers. Emma Knight, a well known Adelaide Musician & writer has developed a show around books. She looked back at her favourites, chose a line from the book and wrote a song around it. Such an original idea and it was well done. In the intimate setting of the beautiful room with balconies we enjoyed an hour of entertainment unlike any other show.

It was a warm evening so we went to the nearby 2KW rooftop bar for a drink and bite to eat. It has the best burrata dish. And a great view.

The next night we went to a Pub Singalong quiz show. Lots of fun & interaction.

From the singalong we headed to the Garden of Unearthly Delights. It’s a big garden – a party hub of venues with shows of all types from comedy to music to burlesque. We saw Nurse Georgie Carroll. She was a nurse and now is a comedian. She has a big routine of stories! Very funny and nurses would love it. She has a signer in stage with her and that was hilarious to watch. Seeing her signing some of the things being said and described was so funny.

Google her and have a laugh. One of the lines I enjoyed was ‘menopause has stolen the rest of my sentence’.

Another full Festival day. We’ve set a cracking pace but it’s great fun.
