Well, I went to see Bitter and Twisted last night and I can't believe I've been here four years and not seen these guys before. They are
FANTASTIC!
They perform every Tuesday night at TJs in Los Gigantes, and that's where we went to see them. They were on stage for around two hours, with just a ten-minute or so break in the middle ... and they never stopped. It was glorious, and hilarious!
Sometimes they're both on stage together, wearing at any one time up to four outfits one on top of the other so that the show is fast moving. At other times, John will be on stage while Shane is changing, and when Shane comes on, John goes off to change. There is not a moment when something wonderful isn't happening.
They had everything from Cruella de Vil singing "how much is that doggy in the window" (armed with water pistol, so beware!) to Miss America and the drunken runner up (armed with glass of "vodka" which was flung around alarmingly ... especially at thetenerifeforum "judges" ... so beware again!!)
The costumes, all made by John and Shane themselves were outstanding, and I WANT THAT MISS AMERICA GOWN ... except I know I won't look as good in it as Shane does!
I cannot praise them enough. I could go on and on and on about them, and although I haven't seen them before in the past four years, I reckon I'll be seeing them enough in the near future to make up for that.
I've just signed their guestbook on their website
HERE, and as I said there, if anyone thinks Tenerife is quiet, then they show that entertainment of the topmost quality will still draw the crowds. The bar was overflowing ... literally. People were lining the street outside and sitting on the wall opposite to watch.
Finally, guys, it was a real pleasure to meet you both, and thanks John for the superb plugs for THE forum
