Robin Williams / Fridgy
Posted by fridgy on March 7, 2010
Hallo hallo hallo!
How are you my faithful fridgy.com-ers!? Regulars, thanks for stopping by… And newbies, welcome to the best website since www.amihotornot.com.*
Well Camp Fridgy has been busier than an ugly stripper. I have just started a new job on Channel 9′s Kerri-Anne Kennerley show hosting infomercials. Feel free to keep an eye out to see my ugly mug on the tele and who knows, you may end up scoring a great deal on an Ab Machine or the new Tomato Peeler 2000.
AND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Guess what else happened! You may have heard about Robin Williams doing a surprise gig at the Sugarmill in the Kings Cross. I happened to be there that night watching and it was unbelievable. Robin was great, as was another comic called Jeff Garcia and some dude from Reno911 called Lombardo something or other. (By the way, what a great name Lombardo is – don’t you reckon it sounds like a pirate? LOMBARDO CANNONTEETH!!! …………. No? Fine.)
Elijah Wood was also there but he didn’t get up to do any comedy. Instead he just sat there with gigantic bright blue eyes, irritating good looks and his bulging wallet. My girlfriend got a photo with him. I’m sure it was nice for her to be in the arms of a successful person for a change. To cut a long story short – Robin Williams was great and while he looked drunker than Brendon Fevola at a Tooheys Christmas party (remarkable seeing he is a recovering alcoholic and only drank coffee all night), everyone loved seeing him on stage at such a private, intimate gig.
Anyways, the point of the title of this blog was because I was on at The Sugarmill the following week. How about all the poor punters who came to The Sugarmill that week. That’s how I opened the night… “Who heard about Robin Williams performing here last week!?… *big cheer*… well didn’t you guys pick the wrong week… Last week a Hollywood moviestar, this week – FRIDGY!”
Ok that’s enough typing for now. The Simpsons is on and this blog should have only taken about 3 minutes to type. It feels like I’ve been going for 3 days as I watch about 10 minutes of Simpsons after every sentence. Even that last sentence took a while. Quick, while there’s an ad break I’ll finish it!!
Well, take care and thanks for stopping by! Please do so again soon.
Done.

Hey Paulus – funny isn’t it, since your interlude with Mr. Williams I seem to have watched quite a few of his movies:
Bicentenial Man,
Jumanji,
Mrs. Doubtfire
Good Will Hunting,
Awesome talent – must get more of them…
Dad xxx
Hey Paul
No doubt the Maccas ad will flash up too.
I’m gonna be holding down the couch for the next couple of weeks waiting for my little man to arrive so I shal become a devout Kerri-Anne fan
So it looks like there’s at least 2 ‘celebrities’ (you and Lynda) have emerged from our grade – good stuff, well done!
You should come do a show in Melbourne. There’s a few of us down here now. Comedy festival on at the moment too.. come on. You know you want to!
