So last night I saw Billy Connolly's epic three and a quarter hour performance at the Perth Convention Centre. It was really good. I like Billy. He's funny. I got the programme and the shirt.
But.
There was a really weird audience member. It was intruiging to begin with, then just plain annoying.
Billy would be in the middle of saying something and you would hear this faint "Moo..."
An example:
Billy - So I had this colonoscopy -
Audience Member - Moo!
B - and it's really quite weird you know -
AM - Moo!
B - having someone sticking their finger up your -
AM - Moo!
Billy was a good sport, he just kept going.
Then he was getting shat off. He stopped and walked to the side of the stage that it was coming from. He told people near the person doing that to point the next time it happened.
"Moo!"
No-one pointed.
"Moo!"
Some people pointed, a green spotlight was put on them. It wasn't good enough to get the actual moo-er.
So the moo-er kept mooing and Billy would every so often make a pissed-off wise-crack about it.
It went on for the entire three and a quarter hours.
Me? I was pissed off. I came along to see Billy be funny, not Billy getting a few words in edgewise in between this stupid person mooing.
So congratulations, anonymous mooer, you f*$@ed a really good performance.

Arrgghhhh! It's my life's dream to see Billy Connolly live before I die. That would have pissed me off so much, I'd have hunted the smartypants down and exposed him in the press or something!
