Observatory, Cape Town: Girls on Top
- Feb 13th 2000. Seven female standup comedians, Alyn Adams - and you?


Marianne Thamm MC's: "Ovaries are in. Balls out out. Got it?"


Sulky boys "boo hoo hoo... They're making fun of us. It's not fair. Show us your tits or something!" Note: All the girls are clapping.

Is it French & Saunders? Sort of. With added zol. Blurred one did great open mic slot later on. Her name is Sarah Hansmann.


I'm a journo: Za@Play journo (blonde, clapping) really enjoys it. Let's see if she admits as much. Reportback A great crit. Honest. Critical but fair. No cheap "angle". We got it, Michelle Matthews. Wish they employed more professional trendies like you.

Owwwwwww! Tracey Klaas rips out yet another pubic hair.


Need parenting? Irit Noble (headliner) offers disciplinary services to all underage pop stars whose loneliness is killing them or whose tits double in size overnight. (Yes, that's you Britney Spears.)

Open mike disaster: Open-miker embarrasses herself with a very long, very racist joke. Marianne Thamm sits on stage cringing and trying to get her to stop. It's not just ovaries that count. Gotit?
Ending on a high: Jo'burg comic Alyn (The best thing about the band Boo!) Adams, down from Jo'burg and fresh from a health spa, sings his original composition, "Wonderful Weed" - all three verses.
