Well howdy!

Welcome to another exciting installment of “The Life Of Fridgy”. For everyone who accidentally found this site while googling the word “fridge” -

1) You’re a horrible speller.
2) Hang about, you may end up having more fun on this site than you could ever imagine. Pretty unlikely I guess but who knows.

Well I performed my first gig for a couple of weeks last week. Yes I’ve been lazy, although in a couple of weeks I will be performing comedy on national television! My first TV spot. Details of the channel / dates / times etc. to come soon so please keep checking back. Anyways, back to the gig. It was in Penrith… I know you’re thinking “wow Fridgy, that’s even more exciting than the TV spot you mentioned” but incredibly it wasn’t. I scared of dying 2 deaths that night. Both on stage and just in real life. I arrived at the pub to see a microphone in the corner of the TAB / bistro and about 20 blokes in fluro construction vests. The comedic electricity was already flowing through the room at a frantic pace. Things only looked more promising when a guy pretty much started a fight with me before I went on stage. I was sitting out the front of the pub and the dialogue went something like:

Drunk guy – “Are you a comedian?”
Fridgy – “Yes”
Drunk guy – “Yeah you look like a f**king clown”
Fridgy – “Thank-you”
Drunk guy – “What did you say to me c**t?”
Fridgy – “I said thank-you for calling me a clown. I truly appreciate the feedback”
Drunk guy – “Well I was gonna go home soon, but now I’m gonna stay and watch you clown”
Fridgy – “Perfect, thanks for supporting comedy”

And then I went on-stage. Despite all of my (hopefully) obvious sarcasm about the potential horror of the gig, it actually went ok. I did 20 minutes and went really well for about 15 minutes. Then the crowd got bored of me and seemed more interested in the bistro’s buzzers going off and whose schnitzel was ready.

Oh well as I said, it could have been much worse!

So that’s it for now… Please pop back soon for details on my TV gig and I’ll even try and post a copy of it here on the website. Unless I am horribly unfunny in which case I’ll make up some excuse about not being able to get a copy of it.

Done.
