Gig review: Blue Prince at the Complexity Pit

Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:43 am

Tiny rappity-hop superstar, Blue Prince, returned from an enforced period in the wilderness to perform tonight at Burninghum's infamous Complexity Pit.

Some five months after the scheduled start time, the diminutive rapper-cum-tattoo artist leapt onto the stage on fire, but had to repeat his trademark entrance: the first time because nobody noticed, and the second because he set off the sprinklers.

The Complexity Pit is one of the largest venues in Euronia and is renowned for its labyrinthine tunnel system, which ensures that no more than 6% of ticket buyers ever see the show they paid for.

Most bodies are never recovered, but on the BP's third attempt to start the show, the remaining audience didn't seem to mind, and were treated to a melange of hyper-bass over sub-bass memes while the Blue Prince himself described ever decreasing circles, plaintively weeping:

"It was emotional / photoshopped and notional / Everybody talkin' bout the lil' Blue Prince! / Everybody love the lil' lil' Blue Prince!"

In the traditional second-half chair-standing, for the benefit of audience members who couldn't afford the TNY9,000 front row tickets, BP rattled through songs from his latest album, "Rattles ain't just for babies", including the seminal "It's me":

"I gotta be honest wid' you / It ain't just me per se / Oh wait no it is / It is it is it is"

He then fell off his chair, to the rapturous applause of the three people left.
