A circus or a seaside pier

barringtonStuff is happening!
I have moved into my new house. Once the furniture is arranged correctly and the shed of doom (which might contain something the Antique Roadshow would be interested in, and possibly has within its bowels a piece of the one true cross) is emptied to make way for a bit of surplus stuff, it will become the comedy geek bachelor pad of the ages. Yes, I'm living with two of my best geeky comedian mates, and it's working out splendidly.
I also have a show coming in the Melbourne Fringe, and several other projects on the go, though sadly both TheatreGames Live and Planet Nerd have finished. Hopefully Planet Nerd will return next year, but we'll see. I've just recorded a demo of a short musical (not my own work) about Walter "Icepick" Freeman, notorious lobotomist; that will be performed in even more truncated form in the 10-minute play festival Short & Sweet in December.
That, though, is after my current major project, the first under the banner of Shaolin Punk, which I always intended to be the name of my theatre company when I got around to making some theatre. Well, here I am, and my first project is A Record or an OBE, a "what if it all went horribly wrong" story set in 1975, in which Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor have to cope with Bill Oddie having given them the arse to become a rock star.
Guess which of the remaining duo I'll be playing?
I do have another comedy gig coming up, a fund raiser for the RMIT Fine Arts photographic exhibition. It's called Punraiser and it's on September 19 at Roxanne Parlour in the city. Should be a great night out, the line up includes some of my favourite comics.
