The man himself, putting his mark on the theater

A few nights ago Sarah, Rina and I went down to the little theater in town to see the comedian Rod Quantock. And it was great. I like my comedy to be smart and sharp, and he was exactly that. Commenting on the state of politics, the environment, and society. No punchlines, no mocking tone, just a wonderful running banter of the kind you wish existed between you and your best friends. And seeing an act like that is a great way of getting to know Australia even better. A country's sense of humor is very telling, and even though Quantock's is definitely directed at a specific audience, it was still enlightening. Look him up and give him a listen if you can, he's well worth it.
