Conversation with my husband:

Me: “OMG! Greg Davies is coming to Canberra! Let’s get tickets!”

Him, puzzled: “Oh. Really? I did see him coming to Canberra for a show but I didn’t think you were such a big fan. Do you really like him?”

Me, aghast: “What are you talking about? It’s Greg Fucking Davies! The man is an icon!”

Him, even more deeply puzzled: “An icon? I mean, we’ve seen him on TV panel shows but I didn’t realise he was so important to you!”

Me, possessed: “Panel shows? Sure he’s on that but are you forgetting TASKMASTER OUR FAVOURITE SHOW OF ALL TIME? OR THE INBETWEENERS? OR CUCKOO? OR THE CLEANER? OR MAN DOWN? ALL SHOWS WE HAVE LOVED???”

Him: “Ohhhhhhhhhhhh. GREG Davies. I thought you were talking about ALAN Davies. In that case, we absolutely need tickets!”

And he speedily helped me find a way to get pre-release tickets.

Crisis averted. My goodness I cackle at the thought though of our mutual puzzlement at each other‘s reactions. To be fair it is quite confusing to have TWO British comedians with a shared last name coming to Canberra to do shows. We must be cognisant of this potential pitfall when Jimmy/Alan Carr tours.

(Also I will not tolerate Alan Davies hate. He’s lovely. He’s just not GREG FUCKING DAVIES THE ICON.)
