Sitting pretty waiting for the show to begin

We had plans to go for a comedy show tonight but we decided to check out a culture and arts festival we came across. The venue was packed full and there were several food and drinks vendors around.
The stage was by the poolside and quite far from the audience. Although we got regular tickets, our distance from the stage was practically the same with those who paid for VIP tickets. The drinks were overpriced so we settled for a few cans of beer and water.
I ate shawarma and had my drinks and the show had still not started. Then the weather started changing and it looked like it was about to pour. The rain wasn't heavy, but it was enough to make us seek cover from the open space.
The show that was meant to start by 1pm had still not begun by 5pm and it was so tiring. When it eventually started, there were a lot of hitches. The sound kept going off and the stage lights were malfunctioning.
The MCs/comedians tried to hold it down but it was a fail still. There were some dancers who opened the show but their performance wasn't that thrilling. Then there was a talent show where singers and dancers performed. The singers mouthed their songs which the DJ played and that had me confused. Aren't they supposed to actually sing and perform their songs?
The talent show was paused because the music kept going off and it was at that point we decided to take our leave. We had looked forward to a cultural display but we didn't get that and it was late evening already. This was not an arts and culture event and we would have been better off going to the comedy show we had initially planned going to.
That was how my Sunday went. How was yours?

This is Nigeria. Where African time is the normal standard. Despite the wait the show was still a flop. Let me say your sharwama and drink was the only thing you enjoyed at the show. 😆😆
It was a total flop. Everything kept going wrong 🤦♀️
So sorry about that. But such things happen sometimes too.

STOPExactly, African time in action..🤣. Most times what do cause the huge fails was a lack of proper planning.. If it were @monioluwa, he would have left immediately he got there and they had not started. 🤣
You know me too well. 😂😂
Of course, what do you expect? 😁😉
😂😂
It was so obvious they failed to plan properly. It's funny cos it's a yearly event and they're supposed to have more experience in planning things like this.
A yearly event? That's bad o. So, you can't witness one till next year. I hope they'd do better next time
It really did went wrong. 😅😂
It's obvious the event wasn't properly planned. Everything was just done wuruwuru.
You really tried tho, waiting for over 4hours isn't something I'd have done. 😅
Lol...@temibot knows you well
He does. 😅😂
That sounds very irritating. I once went out to a restaurant in Mexico. It was my birthday and I was on my own. I did not plan to see a show, but next to the restaurant, on the beach, all of a sudden, some young local men came and... well, I suppose it was a dance, but it was very athletic and acrobatic and impressive. I was surprised and happy. I didn't anticipate a show. It was, I think, the opposite of your experience.
Yesterday, on my Sunday, though, I did nothing, which can sometimes be a joy too. Sorry your day was not better.
I can imagine how getting a free show on your birthday would make you happy. I'd be so excited!
I know right. Sometimes one needs to just chill.
Have a lovely week @carys!
Thank you. You too!
Terrible Terrible show. The organisers should be questioned. People who waited from 1pm till 5pm have a different level of patience.
