Comedian Dan Boerman arrived in Wellington jetlagged and delirious, but he had a plan. On Monday afternoon, in front of a raucous crowd on Cuba Street, he would perform his ability to fold a fitted sheet to all.
“I’m ballparking about 700 people showed up, and from the videos, there were people standing on bins to try and see. It was like a Fred Again concert.”
“Loads of people were saying to me afterwards, ‘This is so silly, this is what we needed in Wellington’ and it was kind of profound in a sense. I was just being silly and putting together something nonsense but people felt real good coming together and chanting on a stranger: ‘Fold that sheet!’
Reminds me of the cheeseball guy. If there’s nothing better to do then why not I guess…
They’re acting like it’s some silly stunt. Meanwhile, the man’s performing a miracle.
I didn’t see the show so I don’t know the outcome. It’s perfectly possibly that everyone showed up to see the man fold a fitted sheet, and he failed miserably. Are there any witnesses that actually saw this fitted sheet be successfully folded?
Agh I was meant to go to this but I forgot!
I didn’t know it was happening! “One big poster in town” and a reddit post, no chance of me seeing it 🙁
