Brunswick Bandroom, Saturday 21st December 2023

Wanting to take it a bit easier on myself this year and the fact that I had to work the two days before Christmas I did not schedule anything on the Friday before this. Got asked if I had been the night before to the same show. Clearly I am not that inconspicuous!

There are quite a few "Christmas" shows this time of year but this is the one I go to as I don't really feel like the other ones are for me. As with last year I saw some people I only see at these things these days. Squirrel Comedy went to another night.

The first and last photos are Enio Pozzebon as that's who always says hello to me first. Shannon did in the break and so did Casey briefly.

It is pretty much the same show as previous years with the original Christmas shows in the first half and Christmas carols in the second half. Was a few more people yelling out for specific songs this year though. I noticed a couple of songs they held out on until the encore this year.

I did get to talk to one of Casey's sisters about the "Billy Joels" show and how they had played it out pretty much. The band was still good but the audience was taking too seriously which made it less fun.

I did get to sit down in the breaks but did not mind as much having to stand for this one as it was fun and I didn't notice my leg hurting as much.

Not sure when I will get to see Casey and gang again but it was great to see them again for this.
