      yes,

      Bunny,
      just
      keeps
      going
      and
      going
      and
      going,
      and
      he
     
     
      was
      going
      in
      Charlottetown
      last
      Friday
      night.
      With
      him
     
     
      were
      Pierre
      Trudeau,
      Brian
      Mulroney,
      and
      a
      whole
      cast
      of
     
     
      other
      characters
      all
      wrapped
      in
      the
      talented
      voices
      of
      the
     
     
      members
      of

      So,
      is
      it
      worth
      tuning
      in
      to
      hear
      what
      your
      friends
      and
      neigh-
     
     
      bours
      were
      laughing
      at?
      As
      Joe
      Clark
      would
      say:
      ‘‘Yes,
      yes,
     
     
      yes,
      indeed!””
      The
      antics
      of
      Roger
      Abbott,
      Don
      Ferguson,
     
     
      Luba
      Goy,
      and
      John
      Morgan
      are
      not
      to
      be
      missed.
      I
      left
     
     
      Friday
      night’s
      show
      with
      my
      face
      fixed
      in
      a
      permanent
     
    

    
     
      smile.
      It
      hurt
      something
      fierce,
      but
      hey!
      No
      pain,
      no
      gain!
     
     
      Air
      Farce
      took
      shots
      at
      Montrose,
      P.E.I.
      and
      Malpeque
      Bay
     
     
      oysters,
      at
      the
      Irvings
      and
      the
      McCains,
      at
      the
      referendum
     
     
      Yes’s
      and
      the
      referendum
      No’s,
      at

      listen
      to
      Air
      Farce
      all
      the
      time,
      and
      seeing
      it
      in
      person
      was
     
     
      even
      more
      fun,
      due
      in
      large
      part
      to
      the
      resident
      Air
      Farce
     
     
      sound
      effects
      marvel
      Anton
      Szabo.
      Crunching
      celery,
     
     
      tearing
      paper
      and
      slamming
      doors,
      Szabo
      was
      a
      whirlwind
     
     
      who
      was
      as
      much
      fun
      to
      watch
      as
      his
      effects
      are
      to
      listen
      to.
     
     
      [had
      absolutely
      no
      complaints
      with
      the
      show,
      but
      I
      think
     
     
      Charlottetown
      residents
      need
      a
      few
      lessons
      in
      the
      vocal
     
     
      audience
      participation.
      They
      didn’t
      seem
      to
      want
      to
      laugh
     
     
      unless
      they
      know
      they
      were
      being
      recorded.
      This
      meant
      that
     
     
      the
      comedy
      being
      produced
      for
      the
      sole
      benefit
      of
      the
      live
     
     
      audience
      felt
      rather
      flat,
      much
      to
      the
      apparent
      disappoint-
      —
     
     
      ment
      of
      the
      Air
      Farce
      members.
      I
      don’t
      know
      if
      the
      older
     
     
      average
      age
      of
      the
      audience
      was
      a
      factor,
      but
      it
      would
      bea
     
     
      crying,
      screaming,
      jumping-up-and-down-and-howling
      shame
     
     
      if
      Air
      Farce
      was
      in
      any
      way
      discouraged
      from
      coming
      back
     
     
      ‘o
      Charlottetown
      as
      soon
      as
      possible.
