The comedy festival has begun and I am in it!

Strange Blessings is the story of the Blessington Community Variety Show. Every year Blessington holds a show where the citizens strut their stuff: the librarian reads her saucy poetry, the plumber shows off his skills at air guitar, and Lord Mayor Frank the Bunny-Eared Angel demonstrates that his toes are indeed twinkly, performing a dance number with the mistress of ceremonies. This year something special happens when two of the performers discover true love.

Please be sure to join me at POP Restaurant and Bar 68 Hardware Lane, Melbourne CBD, 24 March–17 April 6-7pm Tues-Sat. Tickets through Ticketmaster outlets or call 1300 66 00 13, Comedyfestival.com.au.

You can find more information on the comedy festival site or my own Strange Blessings site.

Nevertheless, the poetry gigs are MARVELOUS! The people are great. The venues are relaxed. And let me tell you, the scene is vibrant with young people doing weird and wonderful things.

728 Main Road, Eltham
Cost: $5

Tuesday 24 February 20:30 (definitely)

Sunday 28 February 14:00 (probably)

So, far I have done everything I have listed, but it’s taking its toll. Contact me before “maybe” or “probably” nights if you want to be certain I am performing.

Peace and kindness,

Katherine

Monday I walked my feet to oblivion in 35C heat in order to check out a dozen potential venues around the city. But it will be worth it!

I will soon get back to regular blogging and let you all know about the process of getting ready for this sort of gig.

In the meantime I have a gig this Friday.

8pm Friday 13 November
246-250 Yarra Street, Warrandyte VIC
Top car park, back of shops

As such I’m having to re-arrange my schedule so that my head doesn’t implode from stress.

I am cancelling my 30 July gig at the Rhino Room and my gig in August at Continuum 5. HOWEVER, I am still doing Theatresports for the Willunga Almond Blossom Festival 2pm 26 July.

As soon as I have settled myself in Melbourne, I will let everyone know what I’m up to and invite you along. Looks like I will have many more opportunities to perform. Woohoo!

Peace and kindness,

Katherine

I redeem myself by most of it being silly, like Dr Seuss after a spin dry in a virtual reality machine. I have a poem I plan on taking with me to The Gov in order to check out their open mic night. I want to know what sort of audience they get and how I might fit in. Mostly, I hope it’s fun.

So, here are the details

The Gov Open Mic Night

8pm Wednesday 27 May
59 Port Road, Hindmarsh

I will probably be reading “Will Play for Cheese”.

Peace and kindness,

Katherine

Bradman Drive Hilton at the RU Funny Competition. Mark Trenwith is MCing!

Please come and help cheer me along for a win or at least a good time. Tickets
are only $5.

My soft toy Tiki Mbulu will be making an appearance to assist me in reading my
most EVIL poetry. Some of you may remember “My Budgie”. I will also be
reading “A Paean to Villainy” and “Ninjas Ninjas Ninjas” (how could you
possibly miss that?).

I look forward to seeing you!

Peace and kindness,

Katherine
