Obligatory Blog

In the Warwick pub. Bless. What a week. I just got back from a super quick tour out west with the Young Guns of Comedy to Goondwindi, doing a gig for a conference of agronomists! I nearly died when I spotted my father-in-law in town (a wonderful, gentle soul who has never uttered a swear word from his lips apparently and who thus far, has never seen me onstage) and spent the next hour trying to talk myself out of a heart attack. He works in the agricultural field so it was no

My little girl in a low budget ad for stranger danger? WRONG, silly! We're at the Abbey Museum! Oh YOU! Though my grandma always tells me not to tell people, lest I be suddenly the subject of some sort of medieval ages type prejudice from the sins of the forefathers, apparently our family is in possession of Viking blood. Perhaps that – or just a fondness for headwear with horns – was behind my immediate compulsion to take the kids to the Abbey Museum when I saw their adverti

Night one: the kids' eyes popped out of their heads when they saw their first Aussie campfire. We promptly threw said balls on sticks and roasted them. My beautiful bestie from high school days, Lou. And her littlest Jo. And I. And marshmallows. All sans-makeup. Ah, I loves me the country! The Cay-man learned to ride a motorbike, then proceeded to celebrate this landmark occasion by doing a 3-minute dance. Hot diggedy dawg. On the back of the ute. Where all children belong. O

At the After-Party: me with the always-fabooshy fairy Mary and hubby Fritz! Forgive me for taking a few days to recover from the insanity that was the lead-up to and happening of the Gumball Theatre launch. Phew! Seriously, at some point there it hit me that the only time I’ve put more effort into something was my wedding. However the one thing about my wedding that disappointed, was how because I’d spent so much time, thought and effort on planning the whole shebang, when it

My new hair! I'm not sure if my kids' shock was because of the hair or the fact that I was not burning dinner. Man oh man I’m sorry I’ve been so damn busy of late and thus the blog – like the poor neglected little fourth child of the house that it is – has been designated the leftovers. But I still love you little one! Oh yes I do! Coochy-coochy-coo! Here, have some sugar and we’ll call it even. Anyway, I want to share with you the story behind our Gumball Theatre poster (bel

My oh my, it’s been one huge weekend. I’ve been in rehearsals since Friday night with my fellow mainstage Gumball Theatre castmates Marc and Greg – they came and stayed the entire weekend so we could improvise our buttocks off, hang out and play handball with various assortments of my children. And…we now have publicity pics! These are hot off the press (or more accurately, off the memory stick) so thought I’d give you guys the first sneak peek! Whaddya think? #impro #Improv

A bit more of my Halloween costume. I think I was a pirate Mummy. Huzzah! My innards are back in their proper place and thus able to just get that little bit fluttery excited to celebrate my inclusion in Musehunting’s Creativity Carnival. Go check it out, it’s suitably spiffy. I’ve been asked to MC tonight at Albion Comedy Club – apparently it’s sold out so I’m really only mentioning it on here to share, rather than induce ticket-selling riots. But there you go.
