【Hollywood Archives】

Last night,Hollywood Archives Adele performed in a city which has had well-publicised energy supply problems of late. Lo and behold, the power cut out.

It happened midway through the singer's set in Adelaide, Australia. But being a professional ranter, Queen Adele kept the crowd entertained with an impromptu comedy routine. A very, very rude one.

"Shall I tell you my filthy joke despite all the children here? I need more applause than that because I might offend someone," Adele told the crowd, according to news.com.au.

"What do you call a blonde standing on her head?" she asked. *Drum roll* "A brunette with bad breath."

"Have you heard about the new restaurant on the moon? Apparently the food's great, but there's no atmosphere." Oh boy.

After around five minutes, Adele apologised for the then-fixed power outage, explaining the blackout was due to her revolving stage pulling out the power cord for the instruments, and not those pesky power issues which have plagued the state of South Australia.

"I won't be revolving that stage again, will I? Thank you for your patience with my absolutely useless banter and thank you for putting up with some terrible jokes," she said.

Aside from awful jokes, Adele also confirmed she does indeed sit in a box in order to travel through the crowd from backstage.

"Thank god the Australian press have outed me, because I'm not getting in that f*cking box again," she told the crowd.

"I've done 112 shows in that box, and it has been a nightmare. This time when I came out you all knew I was in it, I was scared ... I was frightened. So now, I'll just walk out of my room surprised going 'oh hello, hello!'"

Many'a fan would pay top dollar to hear some similarly strong Adele banter.
