Hazel Brugger

Yesterday I was in Vienna again. This time not for a concert, but a cabaret by Hazel Brugger: "Tropical". Although I still don't understand what "Tropical" had to do with her performance, I am still very thankful that I attended that event.

I saw some videos of her on youtube about a year ago. And I liked her dark humour. I thought as a paramedic I would have the darkest humour possible, but yesterday I was proofed otherwise.

Not only did she shout out some really good jokes, where you didn't know if it was ok to laugh or if it was inappropriate. She also managed to put this jokes out with almost no facial expression on her side.

Sure, she had to grin on some of her jokes herself, but most of the time she tried to bring them over as dry as possible and as serious as possible.

I think I am attending her events again, as soon as she's got a new program, but also rewatching the one I've seen yesterday would be great.

What I like was the question & answer part she did at the ending. I never heard about some comedian who's done something similar.
