Due to a technical fault during rehearsals for the upcoming ‘COMBS AHOY!’ musical extravaganza this coming Wednesday, I’m urgently in need of a sparks after I went live this afternoon.
With Oaf, The Dingler and the freshly discharged from Stepping Hill Hampton about to begin their first song ‘Blow the Man Down’ I’m afraid I accidentally ‘blew the men up’ as I switched on the electric current with a flourish I suddenly realised that I’d connected them to DC as opposed to AC.

All hell let loose and the balloon went up badly as the tin foil welded itself onto the lips of my artistes.
The screaming that pierced the air could have disturbed my neighbours peace so I obviously had to subdue them with a piece of wood (with 6 inch nails) instead of perhaps turning off the power.

It took four hours to prise off the aluminium foil with hot water and sponge (except for Hampton as The Archers was about to start and I was running out of time and patience so I obviously ripped his foil straight off…the silly little coward was already wailing as I began my run up!)

Anyway all’s well that ends well and you’ll be pleased to know that the blisters will be ok for the big event!
Let’s just hope Hampton regains consciousness soon as I have him pencilled in for a 45 minute solo version of Drunken Sailor!

Pogo stick endurance begins tomorrow.

Anyway the reason I need an electrician is because of the turmoil with my electricity. All the fuses blew, I’ve fixed that myself by using the copious amount of tin foil from the rehearsal room (bin shed)
The problem is, I’m worried my kettle might not work so a bit of advice would be useful as I can’t be bothered heating up a pan of hot water for my cast’s Pot Noodles.
Thanks in advance.
