Porky55 Posted March 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Must share a moment aboard QM2 last night before debarking, a live performance in the Theatre with Soul Mystique, an Aussie male / female quick costume change act. Midway through the show, the lady, Lydia had disappeared backstage and the bloke, Gavin, was on stage discussing the history of their act. He begins: “ Well Lydia, she does the costume design and Lydia she does the dance choreography and Lydia she does all the show music” “And what do you think I do?” From the upper seats of the theatre comes a distinctly Aussie male voice: “LYDIA!!” Well - Gavin and the theatre fell apart! The timing was perfect, it left him on the stage speechless then helpless with laughter, followed by everyone else. Just a perfect bit of unscripted Aussie comedy 🤣[emoji23] They were a great act btw. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell, was the orator of the phrase 'Lydia' attired in shorts? lol.:cool:;) I bet the Cunarders blushed.:o With a few muttering 'Those awful uncouth Orstralians, drunk again !!' lol.

Porky55 Posted March 9, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just moments before Gavin HAD shown off his blue Bonds singlet adorned with the Aussie flag and matching silk boxers, during a very slow costume change [emoji6] showing how the changes did (or didn’t) work Much blushing and “uncouth Orstralian” went on then ;) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tangogulf Posted March 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Saw them on Radiance in Jan. Fantastic show. They were on board for a couple of days so had a chat with them one evening and they are really very very nice people. Got their start on the "Australia's Got Talent" show.

Rare MicCanberra Posted March 11, 2018 #16 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I cannot believe that it was a rehearsed surely there will always be one Aussie larrikin in every crowd that would be yelling out the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aus Traveller Posted March 11, 2018 #17 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I cannot believe that it was a rehearsed surely there will always be one Aussie larrikin in every crowd that would be yelling out the response. I agree. I doubt that they had to set it up. With an Aussie audience there would be someone who would come back with that response. Years ago on P&O, the CD Zoltina-J would set up some of the funny lines on the "Marriage Game" by asking participants ahead of time to say particular things. She was such a good actress, that when they came out with the scripted line, she would laugh so much that you could not have believed she knew about it ahead of time. But she did. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
