At one of the Grand Opera House performances of The Sweety Bottle, a lady remarked, "This is all bad language and toilet humour!"
Unbeknownst to her, she relayed this discovery to one of the co-writer's sisters who then relayed it to the co-writer sitting beside her. Rumour has it that this particular co-writer* smiled as if he'd read the remark in a five-star review.
Toilet humour, like? From such a sophisticated mind? Really?
Go away and shite.
Enjoy this randomly selected snippet from The Sweety Bottle.
*The co-writer was me.
The spot where Gerard Brennan, author and playwright, blogs about reading and writing... but never arithmetic.
He recently turned his back on gainful employment to pursue a crime fiction related PhD at QUB.

Thanks. So cool that there is a clip to see!
Wish I could show you more, Seana. You were the first person I thought of when I posted this.

Your critic aside, it sounds like everyone else is having a grand old time.
99% of the feedback has been of the grand old time variety. The other 1% can suck it. #occupythesweetybottle

I', confused. Did she say "toilet humour" like it was a bad thing?
I can't make out a single word in the clip but the audience's response tells me I'm missing out on something brilliant. Nice one, mate.
Dana - My sister seemed to think so... Couldn't be right, though, could it?
Mike - Thanks, man. Is it the accent that's throwing you?
Cheers
