If the rest of my gigs on this tour are as much fun as this one in Peebles then bring it on! What a delight of an audience on Saturday night.
When a Glaswegian guy walks in late with a woman then tells you he’s late because she was putting his make up on for him, you know you’re in for a fun night! 😂 He said, “would you like me to stand up to have a look at it?” And I said “let’s do one better and get you on stage!” Turns out he was tall, bald, very fit and really suited mascara! 😂 Also turns out, not only was he a gay scientist and a stand-up comedian, but his name was David, which when we were stood together on stage makes us ‘Craig David!’ 😂 It was one of these wee moments you couldn’t have planned for in advance.
Much like when you find an American woman called Eileen from Cincinnati sitting right in the front with her son, who was so enthusiastic that I nearly shouted 🎶Come on Eileen🎶 to get us to dance together! Then there was the moment with a gay man from Johannesburg who was taking so long to come out, I actually thought he’d popped back in! 😂
We had Ian and Kerry originally from South London who I managed to persuade to come down from the back, right down to the front, which was just as exciting a move as their move to Peebles. Kerry was so posh that when she talked, her mouth didn’t move – it was a minor miracle! Absolutely perfect teeth that all remained visible throughout every sentence! 😬
We had a woman who was a customer services manager for a posh tailors in Peebles, a whole row of people from Penicuik wi’ a lassie fae Biggar, Ryan from ‘upper Liberton’ looking cool in his baseball cap with his wife holding on to him for dear life, a woman who was insistent that absolutely no one had come from up north 😂, a guy who at the end revealed he had a tiny little dog in his bag throughout the whole show ❤️ and a gorgeous older couple who had only met recently and rather enticingly she told me she ‘wasn’t shy!’ 😉 👏 A big thanks to Ryan for being such a good sport and joining me for a dance off at the end! 👏
Peebles always feels like the beginning of Christmas for me, so I’m gonna wish you all a fabulous festive season in advance and remind you that the tour continues from January onwards, if you’re looking for an extra little present to stick in your Christmas stocking. 😉 Imagine waking up on Christmas Day and finding out that I’m your present! 🎁😂 Tour dates here ➡️ https://mrcraighill.live
