Paul's back and eyeing new targets
AFTER the Doug Anthony All Stars folded, the mercurial Paul McDermott reinvented himself as the host of TV's Good News Week.
Now that GNW is gone, the wickedly witty comedian with the singing voice of an angel has morphed into a new show, GUD, co-starring former Gadfly guitarist Mick Moriarty and Cameron Bruce, the Club Luna Band keyboardist.
Like DAAS, this new act features satire, songs and the ability to offend anyone within earshot, but now there is a whole new set of targets.
Ivan Milat is one, and Osama Bin Laden, whose invisibility is serenaded in We Don't Know Where to Find Him, sung to the tune of I Don't Know How to Love Him from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Even the late TV gardener Alan Seale gets his own song.
You can catch McDermott's new show at the Clarendon Hotel, Katoomba, on Friday.
Bookings: 4782 1322.
