• I’ve been selected to perform in the Melbourne Comedy Festival gala, to be screened on Ch. 10 April 4. Bonza.

• I performed Calypso by Spiderbait on Adam Hills’ show. You can see it HERE. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/adamhillsIGST/stories/s3159480.htm

• I’ve released four columns about the whys and wherefores of being a stand-up. You can find them in The Big Issue, JMag, Beat (Melbourne) and online at Scrivener’s Fancy. The current issue of Frankie has three of my pieces.

• I’ve moved house to Thornbury. It’s the new Northcote, especially now I’m there.

• I’ve been hanging out with Amanda Palmer. She has drawn on eyebrows and a lot of sass. She came to Wit-Bix and said my song about Australia was ‘brave.’ I was a guest at her Adelaide show, busting out a rap about why girls shouldn’t shave their vajayjays while dressed as s cat. It was received.

• The Awkwardstra has a new member! We warmly welcome Julius Millar AKA Donny Maracas, who will permanently take up the percussion role left by Hitz Rodriguez. He’s a smooth operator from the wrong side of the tracks.

• The Awkwardstra will feature on three songs in ‘Wit-Bix’. There will be trumpets.

• ‘Wit-Bix’ went reasonably well in Adelaide Fringe except the bit where I threw my Farmers Union iced coffee because the church bells wouldn’t stop ringing. It picked up four stars in the Adelaide Advertiser. A reviewer from Rip It Up saw it on a weak night and spent half the review talking about my tech’s body odour. He also took issue with a lyric from new song ‘Leaving My Hairdresser.’ The lyric is: “he only charges me $50.” He suggested that no man in Adelaide would spend more than $15 on a haircut. I have decided to release different versions of the single to regional areas with the lyric amended to read: “He only charges me $15.” It’ll be easy as fifteen sounds a lot like fifty. Based on this theory, I’ll also be cutting a new version of Golden Gaytime with the lyric: “The shop keeper looked shaky as I handed him $2.80.” We wouldn’t want to alienate our fanbase due to their socio economic parameters, now would we?

• New single ‘Leaving My Hairdresser’ has been cut and is sounding like Harry Connick Jr doing Beck’s ‘Debra’. It will be released very soon on itunes.

• The Flaming Lips have a new single which you can only hear if you sync up 12 different YouTube’s. Explain that to your Nan.
