 Since
retiring from the Political Stage, Christine and Neil Hamilton have taken
to the Theatrical one and settled in like bugs in a rug.
The
past 10 years have been quite eventful for this family as various
newspapers have taken great delight in reporting. Through guest
appearances as the narrator in The Rocky Horror Show, The Vagina
Monologues via the Australian Jungle Neil and Christine have finally
arrived for Lunch at the Pleasance Queen Dome for the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival.
With
fresh victims, no sorry guests, each day and so far virtually sell out
audiences 'Lunch with the Hamilton’s' is fast becoming one of the hot
tickets this Fringe.
The
line up of guests on Friday 11th August was, Ricardo Garcia, the writer
and a performer from 'An Asylum on Every Corner', Wayne Shepherd who is
Gary Le Strange and Peter Polycarpou. After a little introduction about
themselves Christine and Neil introduced each guest individually.
Each guest did a little plug for their individual shows. Between
times they chatted about life, the Fringe and other basic subjects when
the final guest was stuck in the Edinburgh traffic we played a game. For
taking part the winner got a voucher for a meal for two at a local top
class Italian restaurant.
Two
of the gems from the show for me are as follows; Christine agreed to do
'I'm a Celebrity get me out of here' only if Neil was flown out for the
duration as "he couldn’t survive without his life support
machine" and she is a self confessed 'Dominatrix!' quoted out of
context? See the show and
judge for yourself.
