Hamish & Andy

So, some of you would be aware that Hamish & Andy are currently taping their "Gap Year" show in NYC... When they first announced they were doing it, I registered my interest on their website as I knew I'd be in NYC by then too.

I was lucky enough to receive an email just before I left offering me tickets to the taping of their Tues Sept 6 show (which went to air in Australia on the Thursday).

We were instructed to meet at a bar on 3rd Ave, where we were checked in and given a Hamish & Andy wrist band:


We had a drink, jumped on a bus and were taken out to a bar in Brooklyn where we were given a voucher which was good for either one food item or drink. I went with the food! After chilling there for about 45mins, we walked over to the studio for the live taping!

It was so much fun. Hamish & Andy actually interacted with the audience while we weren't filming and generally, they were hilarious!

I really enjoyed Andy telling us how Hamish had been practicing "magic tricks" including fire a la Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother!!

I'll be honest, I know Andy won Cleo Bachelor of the Year and dated Megan Gale and whatever, but I've always MUCH preferred Hamish... And nothing changed!! If anything he is even cuter, in an adorable kind of way, in person!!

The highlight was that I got to briefly talk to Hamish... and I may or may not have suggested that he do a Sister Needs a Mister (only those who have seen the show will know what this is about!!)...

After the taping, we jumped back on the bus and headed back to Manhattan.

It was such a fabulous night! So many good laughs! It really picked my spirits up!
