Happy February!
Posted by fridgy on February 1, 2011
Even though it’s my first post of the year, I didn’t feel right about saying Happy New Year seeing we are now 32 days in to it!
Well I hope you’re all well. I’ve had a very fun and lazy start to the year. I haven’t been working too much – and I’ve certainly been lazy on the gigging front. The last gig I did was the Paddington Fringe just before New Year’s Eve with Jacques Barrett and Ray Badran and it was a corker! A great crowd who are always in a great mood that time of year. It’s been a while so I don’t remember much from the gig. All I remember was telling a guy who worked in a hostel that he probably now has chlamydia. He was English and we had just been humiliated in the Ashes. I think it was warranted. The crowd seemed to as well.
Since then the story of my life has been tennis. Watching it, playing it and now typing about it. I went to the Australian Open in Melbourne for the first time and yes, finally saw my man-crush Roger Federer. And no I didn’t cry when I saw him. I learnt first-hand from him how silly it is to cry all the time. Seeing all those great players really made me realise how horrible a tennis player I am.
Obviously the big story has been the disastrous floods in Queensland and parts of NSW and Victoria. A pretty tragic time for plenty of Aussies! There is a big charity gig for the flood victims on Wednesday the 2nd February at the Coogee Bay Hotel with some of the best comics in the country playing like Arj Barker, Chris Wainhouse, Steve Philp and Simon Kennedy (Steve and Simon are good mates of mine). I’m not performing at it but certainly would encourage everyone to go along!
So that’s about it for now. Sorry this is such a boring, non-witty post. (Although I’m pretty sure you’re just thinking it blends in with all the other prior posts right!?)
I have a gig in Hurstville in a few weeks. Last time I did it there was about 8 people there and it was pretty rough so fingers crossed for a better gig this time!
Done.
