Well, I saw Jerry Springer: The Opera for the second time last night. Same verdict as first time around: first half very funny, but by the second half the joke was starting to wear a bit thin. Still, it was fun, as it was a PR thing, so everyone was there, and it was preceeded by a nice dinner and, before that, a nice lunch with only a short meeting in between.
Coming out for a drink at the half-way mark, there were two Americans behind me.
‘I wonder if they get Jerry Springer over here,’ said one of them.
‘I don’t know,’ said the other. ‘They don’t seem to understand it, though, do they. Some of those lines are really funny but they’re just not laughing.’
Either they didn’t know the play had been written and produced in the UK, or they thought it was some kind of musical documentary.
