(Actually now with PhD, but Doctor of Philosophy just doesn't have the same evil ring, does it?)
Does anyone else recall watching a television series (BBC, I think) involving a woman who was a lounge singer / pianist who also supported herself by working as a clown? It was painfully hilarious. I wish I could remember what it was called, because I could probably find it online somewhere these days.
The two episodes I remember: one in which the pianist/singer rejects some guy who likes her, and then while she's onstage playing and singing something heartfelt and soulful he gets really drunk and--sitting in the front row--finds some bongos and starts playing along to her song, in a cringingly funny way; and the other in which the pianist/singer gets a phone call that she thinks is for her clown sideline, but is actually for her roommate who has secretly been working as an escort. She drives to a guy's house alone, her car breaks down, and she walks the last leg of the journey in her clown makeup, in the rain (of course). He opens the door, expecting a polished call girl, but gamely invites her in for (a seriously awkward) dinner anyway.

I've already experienced how to play bongos and I really felt happy upon resulting to a beautiful tune. I never tried to play bongos drunk.
That would almost have been cool if it wasn't spam.
I've been racking both of my brain cells, but I can't place this. Which is a shame as it sounds like the kind of thing I'd like.
