Towards 2006

Moshers in: "Yes Wil, that joke was funny. When we first heard it 5 years ago."
Also appearing in: "Well, that was good, but not as...waaah, I've become jaded and full of comedy-snobbery!"

[Edward]

I'm going to be busy if I have to appear in all these Mosh productions as well as my solo show "People Suck" - an hour long rant in which I detail all the things people do that annoy me, like insisting on walking on the right-hand side of the footpath, or three abreast and very slowly, and propose a range of suitable punishments like crash-tackling and/or sterilisation.

[Renee_Turner]

You mean you don't play 'Schoolgirl Skittles'? (Wherein you say 'excuse me', then push through the group of ignorant little shits). I do, it's great fun.

[unfrufru]

I will also be appearing in my own show.

Unfrufru stars in
The Stalker Slayer
"If it moves and screams "I love u gatesy, kill them"

my one woman show about the triumphs & tragedy of putting up with crazed teenybopper psycho fans, bushpigs and crazy librarian ladies who want comedians to urinate on them.

I heard a rumour (and maliciously spread it, I must admit) that someone got thrown out of the HiFi for throwing themselves on him...can anyone verify?

My show would be called 'Men are NOT from Mars', but I can't afford to do a show.

You mean there's a name for that game? I play it regularly and, I agree, it's lotsa fun. Only I amuse myself by using language somewhat stronger than 'excuse me'...

I never saw it and it's well known I spend most of my time there. Although uite intoxicated, I do tend to notice when people are given the boot.

No, not you. "We don't eat pigs..."

No there isn't. The reason for the festival moving dates is also causing the stupid conference to move as well. I'm just doing a repeat of this year, though. This involves me being at the conference during work hours, but once I've attend 7.5 hours of conference, I mysteriously vanish...

People to make my festival great:

Bill Bailey
Boothby
The Japanese extreme mime artists (Can't remember what they were called, but they kicked arse at FestiClub)
Cal Wilson
Fleety
Otis Lee Crenshaw backed by The Gadflys
The girl I saw do a set at The Local once who wore a jellybean badge (Yep, forgot her name, too).

I think that it's often the people that you didn't know much about before the festival that makes it great. I must admit that I didn't know who Tim Minchin *hangs head in shame* or Josh Earl were before the festival and I hadn't seen Lawrence and Andy or Eddie Perfect before. But those were the people that really made my festival.

[circus_kid]

I have to agree with Sara - I totally fluked my way thru the fest this year... mostly on comps and 2 for 1's...

Ended up seeing 35 shows - and had heard of perhaps 3 of those beforehand, and aside from charlie pickering, those were well back on my list of favourites.

I did enjoy the whole Laughapoolooza thing though. It's a nice way of having a little sample of goodies.

*sigh* Is it bad that I already have a vague list of 30 people I'd like to see next year?
