Hee hee, loathsome hag!
And that bit about a few days later not being able to remember a single tune... what a croc. *I still have the songs stuck in my head, and I don't have a recording of the musical to listen to.

Thanks a lot Spoof, SoS, and Fiona for making this thread wonderful. *Great supporting cast (Mythor) to help with the technical hitches. *What a magical and inspiring use of a collective talent...

4 Stars...

Paul McDermott &amp; Pals
The irrepressible Paul McDermott is coming to town for two nights only as part of GUD Hard Core Cabaret. Presented by &lt;accesscomedy.com.au&gt;, the show, featuring Paul McDermott, Mick Moriarty and Cameron Bruce, was a sell-out sensation if the recent 2002 Melbourne International Comedy Festival! Multi-talented and all-round bad-boy of comedy Paul McDermott, The Gadflys guitarist Mick Moriarty and the adorable but not so innocent Cameron Bruce presents an utterly hilarious hour of fresh, bold and confronting comedy. Delectable music with biting sentiment, stinging comedy with outrageous stage antics. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even feel like singing along. GUD has it all and you'd be insane if you missed it. This mad show swings into Laughing Gas Comedy Club on Sun Sep 29 and Mon Sep 30.

and this is the article itself. theres also a piccie of Paul, hands folded, one eyebrow raised, pinstripe suit, could be a cream shirt, kinda looks like the one he wore at the show, and no tie.

GUD- Hard Core Cabaret
McDermott, Moriarty and Bruce

Hard core cabaret could possibly be the perfect oxymoron- two words you thought you'd never see together. After a sensational sellout season at the 2002 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Paul McDermott (Good News Week), Cameron Bruce (Lunar Club Band) and Mick Moriarty (The Gadflys) are coming to town, bringing their own special concoction of music and comedy for two shows of wickedness and bold hilarity that is GUD. When we spoke over the telephone, Paul McDermott was in his dressing room, feeling rather tired with only 15 minutes to go before curtain call for the Witches Of Eastwick, whereas Cameron was at his Sydney home early the following morning.

I began by asking Paul what GUD actually meant.
"Nothing in particular, but Gud is who Americans thank at award ceremonies...I'd like to thank Gud and my manager..." he replied
So what's it all about?
"I have no idea [laughs] but for me it's a return to what I was doing with the Doug Anthony Allstars with that blend of comedy and music, mixed with happy-go-lucky aggression and over-the-top antics, except I'm doing it with two different people.
"We more or less wrote the songs between the three of us," he continued "Mick and I worked together on Good News Week with paulmac until he went on to become a mega-star. We then decided to do something with the Melbourne Comedy Festival and roped in Cameron and his keyboards and the rest is history."
How long was GUD in the making?
"About four weeks, but there were many thoughts that fuelled the passage of GUD, so it was more of a whim than a making," Paul replied "we had no idea what it would be before we embarked on it, but it turned out great.
"the first time we did the show it worked, and has done so every night since. It gets a bit sweaty and messy at the end and sometimes people leave in tears, but apart from that most people hate it!" he tiredly joked
"There's some new material we'll be adding for the Adelaide show before we release them onto the people at the Melbourne Fringe, and then there's all that stuff about Snowtown!"
"I just play the cheeky monkey dancing bear in an overlapping of animal spirits," Paul chuckled. "its just one, big freewheeling, mad-cap adventure."
GUD had been referred to as effortlessly touching on the taboo.
"What's taboo anyway?" Paul retorted "How does one persons morality become more valued than anothers? But I guess we were writing that for the greater good of the community just in case people were expecting something light and sweet!"
Paul was saying that there were plans for GUD to release some material on CD and DVD as his curtain call came- and he was gone!
18 hours later I spoke over the telephone to a very sleepy Cameron Bruce who was actually still in bed. He began by telling me that a minor bird had invaded his house and needed to be coaxed into leaving
"People are really going to like GUD because its hardcore porn without the fancy dialogue"
"Minor birds live in gangs and make so much noise they drive the native birds out of their habitat, so I thought maybe I should've left it inside and hired a crack squad of kookaburra's to come and torment it in a revengeful kinda way!" Cameron laughed as he yawned.
How did you get involved with GUD?
"I was playing in the Lunar Comedy Club Band which boasted hosts like Peter Burner. Andrew Taylor managed the club as well as both Paul and I so really it was all his suggestion
"I'm not a comedian as such, but a few drinks before a show and we feed off each other like it's a natural thing."
There were discussions about acupuncture, masturbation, and the possibility of amking the Sydney Opera House out of a dick-trick consisting of 7 or 8 people, but none of it was fit for human consumption! Instead I asked Cameron what else he did with himself.
"I'm in a band with Dave McCormak called The Polaroids. Our CD is called Candy and we'll be playing at Bar 107 on the Friday before the GUD gigs. It would be great to see people come along to that," he said earnestly
"I also joined Karma County about two years ago, so the types of music I get to play are varied, and I like that!
"I just did the Ron Moss tour which was great fun," Cameron boasted "there were undies on the stage every night, ranging from nice little g-strings, to massive tent-like bloomers [cackles].
"Ron was very down to earth, and a born entertainer" Cameron added with a brief rendition of Born Free "It was too good an opportunity to pass up and great fun!"
What sort of music will we hear from GUD?
"It's a boy band meets Casio porn- but I cant afford to buy a Casio," Cameron quietly laughed. "I went to Paul's last week for a song-writing session that turned out to be not very productive, so we'll be adding some new stuff for Adelaide to keep it fresh," he drawled.
Is it true that Mick Moriarty smokes pot on stage?
"Well its kinda hard to keep him away from it, but even if he doesn't light up, Paul and I still get high off the smoke that pours from him!
"If most people are 70% water, then Mick is down to about a 30% water and 40% resin!" Cameron quipped.
"So once it gets hot on stage, its enough to make even the audience high! Mick's our secret weapon in ensuring the punters really get off on the show!
"But I think people are going to really like GUD because its hard core porn without the fancy dialogue. Hey can I go back to sleep now?" Cameron concluded with a huge yawn.
