When we arrived on Tuesday evening after a very easy flight (yes, Finnair had some champagne waiting for us) we met Natalie, Richard and Bebe from the theatre and they took us out for dinner to a very nice small local restaurant. Both Anna and me agreed on that the food was in the top five best food-experiences ever.
Our pick-up time for the next morning was at 6.15 so we tried to get some sleep (not succeeding very well) to look good for the early morning tv-show.
Early morning birds zirp zirp.
Then there was some radio interviews and web-site interviews and lunch and maybe a beer at some point and in the afternoon we even had time to do a quick soundcheck for Gregory who together with Tobias had been working all day with tuning the loudspeakers and programming the lights.
Yesterday was our first pre-show. The reason why we are here in KL is that last year Natalie, the producer of Gardner and Wife Theatre saw us perform at the Fringe festival in Edinburgh. Somehow she then convinced Mr. and Mrs. Gardner to invite this group called Fork over to Malaysia to perform at their theatre, which they did, and yesterday was the first time they actually got to see what we were all about.
It is understandable that Mr Gardner, who only had seen us giving interviews in a pretty jet lagged state of mind while wondering where we could get a cold beer or how warm the water in the pool is or if we at some point should do the final set list for the show, was a bit pale and nervous before we entered the stage.
We weren´t sure if the audience would recognize all of the songs in the show or if our humor would connect with the humor over here, but there was no need to worry. Even the old Swedish hit Final countdown has at some point made it´s way to KL and the warm and wonderful crowd was happily singing along and enjoying Jontes boldness and baldness.
Looking forward to tonights show!
