Last night I had the pleasure of not only listening to the music and humour of The Bedroom Philosopher (aka Justin Heazlewood) on his Brown & Orange Album Launch Tour, I also worked as a volunteer selling merchandise for the show. Justin seems to be getting into the swing of turning his whimsical outlook on [...]

Marion Hotel is one of the latest venues Craig Egan has opened throughout Adelaide. I looked forward to checking the space out after discovering what a gem the Arkaba is for performances. I felt even more excited by the line up of comedians for the evening. I just wish I could have picked a better [...]

I am a great fan of Jim Henson and his chief writer Jerry Juhl. Together they made a profound difference to the world.
Through Sesame Street they brough literacy, numeracy, and a message of inter-racial harmony to the children of the world. This is no small feat when in our information age an education means the [...]

This week is the ninth birthday for Adelaide Comedy. To celebrate the Arkaba HaHa had a huge night last night which included performances by Justin Hamilton, Big Al, Jason Chong, and headliner Jeff Green. We were treated to a glorious set of performances which were well received by a relatively young audience.

I was going to do a full-on review of Bruno Lucia’s performance on Thurday, BUT he took advantage of the open-micness of the evening and decided to trial new material. Open mics are about having the freedom to muck around and see what works without fear of failure. That sort of space is invaluable and [...]

I bought myself a ticket to Ross Noble’s 2009 Things Tour as a personal “birth-month” present. I had seen him do his stuff on Spicks and Specks on more than one occasion and enjoyed his humour.
The show was at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre where Pink and ACDC had recently played. Those performers are well known [...]

The Arkaba
Craig Egan and Adelaide Comedy have only recently opened the Arkaba Hotel as a comedy venue. I like this venue the best of any I have visited in Adelaide. The place is clean, well-kept, with good lighting and good acoustics. The seating has a nice open feeling and ensures that all audience members can [...]

It’s almost sad wrapping up these festival reviews. That means I have to come to terms with inter-festival blues. Oh where, oh where is all that nonstop comedy? Well, I guess I shall have to make my own, which I am, but I will have to
tell you about it in another posting.

Well, I had all of three days in Melbourne during the comedy festival and had a chance to learn from, meet, and observe a number of very fine comedians. Of course it has now been more than a week since I’ve returned and my brain has been a mess of curdled mushroom soup in recovery [...]

I have a load of reviews up with which I need to catch. I shall start with my favourite show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Songs from the 86 Tram was the only show for which I actually purchased a ticket last weekend. As part of the Jeez Louise conference I was given a [...]
