Last night was well and truly tweeted. Three keen comical tweeters made their way to Linköping tweeting every stage of the journey. There were five in the car. See if you can guess from their names which ones use Twitter: @AhmedBerhan, @EvelynMok, @LouisZezeran, Marja Nyberg and Erik Hultkvist.
I didn’t need to check if they were on the road as photographic proof was posted on the net. They arrived as I was mid interview and under the bright spotlight of the press… which was duly tweeted. People in Luleå may have been aware of their arrival before I was. I’d say that you had to be there, but in many ways, you didn’t… as the gig was tweeted as it happened. I’m happy to say, that I or @110percentlagom, as I’d rather be known, remained tweet free.
And tweet oh tweet, what a great gig it was! Five Tweetastic comedians from Erik Hultkvist’s tie wearing propriety, to Louis Zezeran’s Aussie observations, to Evelyn Mok’s brilliant emotionally challenged stage persona. And a second half with Marja Nyberg’s screwed take on life and finally, one of Sweden’s most exciting young comedians Ahmed Berhan. Ahmed took twenty minutes away from Twitter to perform a stunning set – sometimes just silly, sometimes thought provoking. He’s touring some pretty big venues with RAW in March. If you get a chance to see the tour, it’s worth going!
After the gig, it was back to mine for red wine and chats… which we did face to face ‘IRL’ with only the occasional stop for quick tweet.
