Cabaret Richelieu

Last night, we went to the Cabaret Richelieu. It is a fun concert made up of sketches done by people here in town to raise money that is then distributed to different causes and projects. It is amazing how much they can cram into 2 hours.

Sorry about the quality, but being about 200 feet from the stage, and the camera hand-held at slow shutter speeds, I'm lucky to have gotten the shots that I did. It's a moment's like this that I sort of envy the owners of 10D's and 20D's .

Here was our M.C. for the evening... he also appeared as Spiderman at one point.


The two blondes.. beauties, aren't they?


This is from a sketch about "boucherons" normally guys, but here the women
proved they could sing just as badly as their male counterparts! lol



This is from a sketch with a psychiatrist and his patient. As you can see
the patient is somewhat stuck in the 80's.


Les Mama Mias:



One man orchestra: This guy played very well.. he made a double drum.. one consisting of a bear bottle with money it in.. tied to his leg.. and that contraption on his head with drumsticks sticking out that he clang about at the appropriate moment.



Here comes the judge:


The belly dancer:


and her students:


At the bar, everything is discussed from local politics to sports:


and everyone has their opinion.. especially the drunk:


This guy just got equiped at the local "Sports Expert Store" to be ready for this year's season of golf:


Here he explains how the skirt help him cheat.. because he can hide the ball between his legs.. walk stiffly and let it drop at the appropriate spot:


and he helps out a volunteer (well, he asked for a volunteer, but this guy (although unaware) was already picked out ahead of time and 2 guys were waiting to escort him to the stage. He tells him that he is going to teach him to be a better golfer and then exlains to him that he should make sure to keep both hands on the golf club, to not talk because he needs to concentrate.. he helps him out with a bit of tape! :-D


Xmas holidays at a resort in Florida:


Puppet man:


Surely everyone remembers that .avi that circulated on the net with a couple guys
playing pingpong.. but really it's someone behind the table dressed in black with
a ping pong at the end of a fishingline, here they guys sort of recreated it:


Lessons on how to take care of unruly children, start by teaching them while they are very young:


Before they become this:


and to end up a bit about Amerindian's singing gospel music.. this was pretty atrocious!:
