Morgan & West: Of Immortalisation & Cabarets

Good evening, good evening. Welcome back, here I am again sat at this portable computational device telling it  my latest thoughts and secrets… well thoughts anyway.

It seems that our Victorian heritage causes flocks of people to capture our visages by taking our photographs on the mile. Sometimes people want a photo with us but more often than not we are paired together and snapped at repeatedly. The highest count so far has been 34 separate photographers in a mere three hours! It is incredibly odd to think that we will be in many people’s photo albums for years to come, if we didn’t break the camera that is!

Of course the most embarrassing of these was the occasion when two photographers asked to take Mr. West’s photograph and then he dragged me over. A few snaps of us as a dashing duo and then I was shooed away so that they could concentrate on the aforementioned lime-light stealer. He was told to pose again and again, each time twizzling his moustache in new and interesting ways… very odd indeed!

We’re burning the candles at both ends this Fringe by doing a veritable plethora of late night cabaret slots. Last night was at the very entertaining Kabarett: Alternative Variety (Voodoo Rooms) and we will be returning to them. Tonight we’ll be joining friends of ours The Axis of Awesome for the aptly titled ‘The Axis of Awesome and Friends Sing Songs… and Friends!’. Should be a hoot, we look forward to seeing you!

All the best, have a good Fringe.
