Good Day Mate is a video that responds to the poem Some People by Laura Smith for prod! supported by media@rmit and the Australian Poetry Centre
Videographers: Kang Hee Dong, Kailyn Yong
Some People
Laura Smith
They're not reviewers
who unfurl back row centre
who sometimes bring a notebook
or a friend.
Not Front of House staff
who loosen the back door
smile at the tech
and break training
to stand in the aisle
and block the fire exit.
Not the producer
who perches in an aisle seat
laughs once
twice
then leaves.
Not the comedian's mates
who dam-burst in
laugh over-loud at some jokes
and settle through the rest.
Not other comics
bringing the job with them
to the second row.
They're ticket holders.
They choose a row
five or six back from the front
three or four forward
from the back.
They walk to the end of the row
lull into the wall
like it's a dry place to come
and it's raining in every other room.
Some people
come to comedy shows
alone.
