It was the press launch of the new Brasserie at Vaudeville on Saturday night. The Supper Club showcased their new tasty a la carte menue while half naked women swung from the rafters – always a good start to an evening if you ask me. The event was promoted by PR Diva, Allison Foat, who is simply just the most wonderful PRer (is that a word?) in Cape Town and I don’t just say this cause I cracked the invite list – she’s goood!
After receiving a welcome Mojito upon arrival (I went back later to get another one, but they were all done) we headed through to our booth. I made several attempts at some childish puns about Mathew Booth and us sitting in him, not even a giggle from my table. The entertainment was exquisite with my personal favourite being a woman who wrapped herself in and out of a sheet so many times, I wondered how on earth she gets out of bed in the mornings and imagined what she could do with just a hankerchief – this ensued some laughter from my table, phew, haven’t lost my touch yet. It was sort of similar to Mr G’s Sheet dance in Summer Heights High, but also totally different. Watch below to see what I mean:
The food was simply amazing! I had the most succulent juicy, moist, luscious, rich, lush, mellow, mouthwatering fillet steak (okay, so I just opened my new thesaurus/wordbook/ wordfinder/ treasury/storehouse/ repository to find some foodie words.) There were also some face-painters there…not in the scary ‘children’s-birthday-party-face-paint’ kinda way, but more of a ‘cool-bohemian-look-at-my-glittery-swirlies’ kinda way. You could also buy hats there but I’ve got pretty good hair so skipped that one.
The guests included a gaggle of Cape Town shlebs, from Marc Lottering to loads of people I recognised from the news, like that guy in that one show and the chick who played the nurse in that play. I even recognised someone who I avidly follow on Twitter sitting a few tables away from me with someone I play Theatresports with. Cue me rushing over to say hi to my fellow theatresportser only to confirm that the Tweetererererer is in fact the same girl as the one from her Avatar – how exciting (note to self – say hi to people before moving onto champagne).
Below are some pics I took from the evening, unfortunately I forgot to put my flash on so they’re not very clear…
Kenny Kunene eating Sushi off of me – good times!
Helen Zille and Lindiwe Mazebuko high fiving me after discussing my new ‘free drinks for Capetonians policy’
Me swinging from the rafters in my ‘you’re just to good to be true’ metal rendition.
A group of fans asking for my autograph – so embarrassing!
So if you live in Cape Town, eat food at all ever and like some Vaudevillic entertainment, then don’t miss out on Vaudeville, also if you go you get free entrance to The Fez afterwards – can life get any better?!
