MySpace a place for friends

I have been working towards a unified field theory of comedy for some years now, in addition to being very into music.

I'm a regular Raw Comedy judge (that is to say, I've been judging for several years).

In 2006, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival gave me the opportunity to run a comedy appreciation course entitled Comedy Appreciation? Don't Make Me Laugh! This course will run again in 2007, this time bearing the title Dissecting the Frog (there is a reason for the title - click the link if you're interested).

I recently appeared in the front row of the audience of the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, as broadcast by the Ten network.

Prior to this spate of activity, I used to blog extensively about all sorts of things - particularly music and comedy - but more recently I've been employed. What doing, you might ask?

Well, Radio Ha Ha was a comedy comedy show that I hosted for the Macquarie Radio Network's initial foray into digital radio (something that went off in the UK some years ago, that the Federal Minister for Issuing a License to Print Money in the Current Media Landscape hasn't quite gotten a handle on in Australia yet). Radio Ha Ha became a well-respected podcast, popular amongst comedy cognoscenti, but garnered nowhere near as many bums-on-seats as, say, Australia's Funniest Home Videos, so it wasn't renewed. And yet its listnership grows, as the ranks of its 'friends' swell on ItsSpace.

Taking the place of Radio Ha Ha is Stand & Deliver!, which also has ItsSpace. Furthermore, you can subscribe to Stand & Deliver! using iTunes.

I write for FilmInk magazine.

I also have a rather cheesey OptusNet Member's homepage.

But I think Mr Optus got a bit offended by my description of the homepage space he gave me when I signed up to use his services as my ISP - since my password no longer works. So that's the page I'm now stuck with, in all its cheesiness.

In 2005 I compiled a joke book called Have You Heard The One About for New Holland Publishers. It's been remaindered, so make sure you pick up a five-dollar copy in a bargain basement bookstore soon – you can taunt me with it at live gigs if you like.

To receive info and updates to any or all of my numerous dubious undertakings, why not subscribe to my irregular e-mail newsletter? I promise not to sell your contact details to anyone else. (That is to say, any shonky marketing will be done by me and me alone!)
