As the gigs go by…
Howdy folks!
I hope you’re lives are moving along smoothly. All is well in Camp Fridgy. Been busy with plenty of voice-overs, I’ve been working on The Merrick And Rosso Show (TV not radio) and I “starred” in a TV ad! And by “starred” I mean “I was in the ad for about 3 1/2 seconds at the end of the ad”. It was for KIA and my job was the shut the boot of a KIA and then hug another female actor. Actually, I can’t really say ‘another’ as I can’t really call myself an actor. Just a KIA boot-shutter. I’m an awesome boot-shutter. Chuck a camera in front of me and I will shut boots like you wouldn’t believe.
(Oh and the other female actor was smoking hot and I got to hug her heaps of times! I almost felt like stuffing up the “hug” over and over again so I could keep doing it 
… by the way, I’m hoping my girlfriend doesn’t read that, I’m sure she won’t. She’s too busy to go on www.fridgy.com as she spends all her time watching out for my KIA boot-shutting abilities on the TV.)
Can’t be a comedian ALL the time…
I mean, I try to be. I’m always being a smart-arse and trying to make people laugh. My girlfriend probably hates this. She is actually the hardest person to make laugh in the world. Ok, back to my story – here is what happened the other night:
I was at this 30th birthday party in North Sydney. It was for one of my brothers mates Chris (who I get on really well with too). Everyone was starting to get drunk and mumble and drool on each other like pensioners and it was shaping up to be a terrific night. Then, after my butthead brother did a speech, he and the birthday guy yells out:
“Who wants to hear some comedy??”
“YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH” (said everyone at the party)
“Who wants Fridgy to do some comedy??”
“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH” (said the drunken idiots)
Then they handed me the microphone and said “here, make everyone laugh.” I had no idea what to do. I love my brother and I know he only wants what is best for me. He thought it was a huge opportunity for me to become the limelight and show off my comedy to this room of drunks. In hindsight, I probably could have just said the word “boobs” and they would have laughed. I however was totally taken by surprise, didn’t know what material to do, and I had consumed too many Long Island Iced Tea’s to communicate properly. I then said “thanks anyways guys, but not gonna do comedy” and everyone BOOOED me! All night, people were giving me shit and by the end I wish I did had done a few jokes.
Anyways apart from that, the night was fantastic and I almost remember some of it!
