Choosing the first location was easy . The three of us , in our former lives , had toured the world with a live show and learnt one thing South Africa offers by far and away the best audiences in the world . Crack a gag at a Friday night event in London and you get a chuckle . Crack the same gag in Norway and you get a taste of what it might be like to be in space . But crack it in South Africa and they laugh for about a year . . It ' s hard to be sure whether our fears were founded because , of course , the audience was South African . Which means they laughed and cheered and clapped every time one of us even looked like we might be on the verge of saying something amusing or interesting . The acid test will come when we get to Germany . That ' s many weeks away , though . Next up , it ' s Los Angeles . Then there will be a twoweek stint in Britain . And after that we will whizz round Europe for a bit .
