Mr. MacPhisto 2018
Friday 20th April 2018
Laval, Canada
Place Bell
(rehearsal)
[Vertigo ends]
MacPhisto: "I've been a busy little devil." [yawns] "But you all made it... so much easier for me. You're paying people... to listen in on your conversations." [wheezy laughter] "How wonderful!"
MacPhisto: "And so many of my protégés are on the rise. Vladimir! Oh, Vladdy-Vlad, dear old Vladdy-Vlad, killing his enemies with all sorts of wonderful... concoctions! Polonium up the bum!" [sniggers] "Worked a treat."
MacPhisto: "America! Ha! The gift that keeps on giving! I used to have to call the White House. Now the White House... calls... me."
MacPhisto: [whispers] "The Ku Klux Klan... back in vogue. Unhooded in the streets of Charlottesville, without the silly costumes. Who'd have thought? I'm told they're often very religious people. They have a book that justifies pretty much all their bad behaviour. It's called the Bible!" [sniggers]
MacPhisto: "And then there's people who don't believe I exist." [whispers] "They're my favourite! That's when I get to do my best work."
MacPhisto: "But in the end... I'm inside all of you. That's my favourite place to be. It's good to laugh, isn't it? Just not at me!"
[Acrobat begins]
MacPhisto: "Don't believe what you hear. Don't believe what you see. Just close your eyes, you can feel the enemyyy! Hyaaa! Haaa!"

Tulsa, May 2, 2018
Desire, greed, lust, deceit, vanity — all the essentials for a showman in all his forms, and of course a license to just look in the mirror. Oh! I haven’t seen this guy in quite a while. Oh! Oh! Age brings beauty and a spot of bother. Ha! Is there a dermatologist in the house? Is there a slight blemish I see? I’ve been a busy little devil – oh yes! But you’ve all made it so much easier for me these days. I told Stalin, that one day that people would bug themselves. Oh yes, and here we are. The truth is dead, and the KKK are out on the streets of Charlottesville without their silly costumes. Who’d have thought? Tulsa, Tulsa…When you think I don’t exist, that’s when I do my best work.
