Hey there friends!
Well I’ve been super slack in updating this page. Even one of my douche-bag mates has been critical of my lack-of-updating and as much as I hate him and his big fluffy head – the man has a point.
All is great in Camp Fridgy. While the comedy front has been quiet (I took January off as I went to New Zeeealund for a week and then I was extremely busy sitting on my arse watching the Australian Open for 2 more weeks.) So my first comedy gig of 2010 will be next Tuesday at The Sugarmill. It’s in the Cross so come down for a laugh and some AIDS.
I’ve also been keeping busy with voice-overs and last week I was in a McDonalds ad so yes, I’ve pretty much made it as an actor! I think just before Brad Pitt signed for “Legends Of The Fall” he was getting filmed in a McCafe. And that’s really all I did. For 3 hours. I sat and drank coffee in a McDonalds. I couldn’t sleep that night… Not because of how much coffee I drank, but because I was thinking about my career and crying.
Here is a photo: 
Also, I have just landed a new job! I’m very excited and I won’t discuss the details yet, but all of you old people / stoners / other comedians who watch daytime TV – keep a look out on Channel 9. I start on Wednesday and I’ll certainly tell you guys more about it next time!
That’s it for now. Thanks for stopping by, please do so again soon ok? Good.
Done.
They Can’t All Be Good Gigs…

Hey friends,
Just thought I’d post once more before Christmas as I imagine it’s going to get very busy over the next few weeks. Well, not for me. I do bugger all every day. But all you normal people with normal jobs and lives are probably going to be pushed for time and might not have time to visit www.fridgy.com (crazy, as I know it’s your favourite hobby)…
Anyways, just thought I’d give you a bit of a brief report on a gig I did the other night. Pretty much every time I update this blog I get on here and tell you that “the gig went great”, or “the gig was fun” or “I love watching cooking shows”. Ok, well maybe not the last one, but it’s true so now you know how I spend my spare time.
Well the other night, I have to be honest – I did a gig and it was not a pleasant one. It was at the Macquarie Hotel in Liverpool and maaaannnn it was tough! I was the MC and there were about 15 people in the crowd. None of them seemed like they really wanted to be there and I tried and tried to warm them up, talk to them, told them my best jokes… all while they sat there with their arms crossed and a scowl on their faces that would make an old person jealous. I told them they looked bored (not really supposed to do this as an MC but I figured I might as well be honest), then I told them that even the empty seats looked bored. Finally I got a couple of decent laughs and I brought the first act on (Nick Capper). He did well in the circumstances and by the time I did my second bracket of MC-ing they were drunker and willing to chuckle at least a little bit…

Did somebody say Christmas is here!?!?!?

Probably not. As it’s ages away. I guess it’s just starting to feel like the festive season… warmer weather, decorations in shopping centres, getting drunk regularly on weeknights. Ok maybe it’s just me doing that.
This will just be a very quick update to say that all is well in Camp Fridgy. Been very busy with voice-overs and comedy. Been hosting the odd trivia gig here and there too. Actually the other day I did one in Rooty Hill and I was pretty confident I would get bashed and / or mugged on my way back to the car (I had to walk across Rooty Hill train station which is more dangerous than an Al Quaeda training camp’s cafe.) Even the bouncer was telling me to be careful. So I thought I’d take my licence and ATM cards out of my wallet and put them in my undies so if I got mugged, only my money would get taken. Then I thought of 2 possible scenarios:
1. I get mugged by a flamboyant criminal who not only wants my phone and wallet, but also my underwear. Imagine how confused he would be when I took them off and my ATM card was inside. Chick-ching. Weird.
2. I forget to take them out of my undies, and then on my drive home I get pulled over by a cop who asks for my licence. I then have to fish them out from my undies. It would be funny as while I was the one who would get fined, he would have indirectly touched my balls. I win.
I digress. Plenty more gigs on the way over the festive season and also will be doing something very exciting next year comedy-wise with some of Australia’s best comics so stay tuned for details… very excited about this!!
Check in before Christmas as I’ll post again soon – take care everyone Fridgy.com-erino’s!
Done.
Good morning!

(I’m assuming you check this page as a ritual to start your morning first thing every day which is explains the meeting.)
Not too much to chat about really, but I haven’t updated in a little while so thought I’d check in to tell you what’s been happening! Had a cracking gig at the Paddington Fringe last week! Man I love that place. If you missed it, don’t fret – I’ve got plenty of gigs coming up, including one tomorrow night at the Crows Nest Hotel. (I’m sure you weren’t fretting. Actually I don’t even know “fret” it means, I just heard someone say it once.) It’s with my great mate Steve Philp and Aussie comedy legend Mick Meredith. Also added plenty of other shows and they’re all here. ———————————————————————>
I can’t believe how much that doesn’t look like an arrow.

Scraping the barrel for this one…

Hi there friends of Fridgy.com!
As I mentioned in my title, I really don’t have many things to talk about today. So I’ll keep it short and sweet. Speaking of sweet, I just went and ate a spoonful of Nutella out of the jar. Delicious. Seriously, do yourself a favour and re-discover Nutella. Spread of Kings!
So I’ve been hitting the gym up again. That’s been interesting. You forget how weak you get when you haven’t worked out properly in a while. In my case I didn’t forget as I am always weak, regardless of whether I’m working out or not. It’s amazing how you really experience the extreme highs and extreme lows of perving in a gym. Hot girl sweating – awesome. Fat old man sweating – yuck.
I’ve just added some new shows for December at the Boatshed and also Oatley Hotel. Read more
