Recommendations and Warnings

...hardly anyone knows me here in Melb b/c for the last few years I've been living os. Anyways, to cut a short story long, I'm doing a show that I just toured through North America at Adelaide and then the Comedy Fest. I just happened accross this site so thought I'd throw my url into the foray. Tell me if the website entices you or if it makes you go ...yeah right...

[Shock of the New]

Looks fantastic -- I'll try and make it along.

BTW, although Shock of the New can't make it to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, at least two of us should be doing (separate) slots at the Late Show ... Daniel Townes and Dave Bloustien. Czech it.

Well I'd reccomend going to see Arj Barker, but he's not coming to Melbourne this year

I'd recommend Click here for Comedy. I saw it at Melb Fringe and it was tops.
(GM- are you involved in that this time?)

A Harley shaped Hickey called Wayne!

Gonna be a fantastic show if what I saw the other night was any indication

Yep, I'll be making some furniture for them, providing a prop or two, and there should be at least one robot in the show as well.

I'll be providing props and costumes for a few shows, but I think that CHFC.2 will be the only show with robotty action.

Gabriel Rossi. A very welcome variation on the 'wog humour' theme popularised by Nick Giannapolous (sp?) and co. He had me in tears the other night.

Reviews from the first day of fest... which i stupidly started another thread for and got in twubble.

Early Risers (a comedylive venture) - Not that I'm biased or anything by the fact that I'm working on the door, but these guys are genuinely quite hilarious. They're cheeky, they've got the cute accents, and they have a different special guest every night. They may not be big over here, but there's a definite YET to add to that, as I'm sure they'll become better known as the fest goes on. Also, it helps you cram more than 3 shows into one night if you go see one at 6!
They're on at Club UK (downstairs in the mines of moria)

Nicko and Joe - Songs we think we know - just fan-nubbing-tastic, I say. Their songs are hilarious, their between song banter and mistake punishment techniques make it impossible not to love them, and their on-stage chemistry as they blatantly insult each other, making the person who fucked up read out a passage about themselves, eg:'hi my name is _________ and the only way for me to become sexually aroused is to think about my mum on the toilet...' (sorry guys, i stole that one from the notepad on the table so if it gets used in future - they're not REHASHING, i'm just a stealerererererrrr who couldn't think of any of the ones from the actual show...besides something about peter andre's balls and sucking cock for a living..)
they're wrong, they're hysterically funny, and they deserve big, adoring crowds (though ok, only 37 people can fit in the room..so don't go all at once!) my favourite show so far (ok, so i've only seen 4.. but still) These guys are gonna be selling out by the end of the fest, i guarantee it.
(also at Club UK.)

Yianni - Black and white - an interesting show about the differing perspectives that effect the way the world works, using a lot of examples from his own life (being greek orthodox) and chucking in some great impressions (of muppets and cartoon characters) Yianni got a lot of laughs despite a few small glitches in his routine that i'm certain will get ironed out within a couple of days. worth seeing if you've got the time (though that could be said about a lot of things, couldn't it.) Good guy, Good comic. Good show.
(also at Club UK.)

Aaron Keeffe and Julia Wilson - Punch Drunk - I think most of us have seen either or both of these comics at some point, so you know the general gist; wimpy harry-potter/michael J.Fox look-alike boy meets Tough,rough, slutty bouncer-chick. A show split into 2 halves, but each taking the time to talk about each other (And pick on Nikki, which is always fun:P) they tell some of their classic stories that we either know and love, and can still laugh at, or don't know- and find even more hilarious. Sorry Aaron but Julia's my favourite.... I mean, she did attempt to take out Lauchie Daddo. you can't beat that.... GO and see them, and while you're there - check out some of the other shows at Nylon like Richard McKenzie, Luke Whitby, etc. there's some brilliant stuff down that dank little alley (and the flyer is FUCKING cool - as designed by Nikki and I )

that's my bit for now. more news in a couple of days when i get to a computer again after seeing more shows.

happy festivaling.

Not in twubble, this thread hadn't been posted to for a month... Just would've been better if you'd posted here is all.

Thanks for the repost.

Anyone else have any early reviews?

[unfrufru]

i'm having a very nice sandwhich at the moment whilst reading mosh, does that count?

RIGHT! That note pad was for private use (insert the word nub, wheel etc). Thanks for that, it just made me and Joe laugh very loudly.

I would recommend Brendon Burns to you all and also the big howard and little howard show (he made us say that because we were sitting next to each other on teh flight).

Dermo

[unfrufru]

i recommend that the aussie moshers make dermo eat aussie cuisine like vegemite and stuff and post reviews on her reactions

*i made a very lovely cover for the cd u gave me dermo, very spanky. it's on the top shelf of my comedy shrine"

[Leishpod]

mwahahahahaaaa

I'll bet at the start you just thought i'd read your minds! (wouldn't that have been an intruiging and frightening coincidence?)

damn you for making me say nub all the time, you peckerhead.



rock my socks! go socks!
