The Goth Club

So it turns out my standup comedy is actually starting to be appreciated in more than a single location… The internet that is.

Thanks to the internet, I can find like minded Disney characters to hang out with

I’ve been booked in to do a gig at Spleen.

For those that are unaware of the Australian, or at least Melburne, comedy circuit, Spleen is one of those venues that can actually make or break you. Camera crews are often present taking footage for ABC specials, or Champagne Comedy. Scouts from various international comedy shows oftne hang out there, particularly during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Even though you don’t get paid, and the venue is dangerously over crowded in order to do so, ther are huge crowds in attendance. Upwards of 200 for a venue that I’m pretty certain is only licensed for 95.

Frustratingly enough for me, this is right in the middle of the crunch period for me, though. Literally the week before the Melbourne Anime Festival, when realistically, I should be concentrating on ensuring that that’s not going to be the abject failure I always fear anything I’m involved with will become (so far, that’s only happened twice).

Either way, I hope to see you there.

There are some films that are so awfully craptacularly pathetically bad, that they’re actually kind of cool.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, anything by Ed Wood, and now One Eyed Monster.

So, I’ve gone back into therapy again… Only, my therapy isn’t like your’s, or other people’s, therapy. My therapy is getting laughed at. (more…)

If you go to SupaNova at all, you’re probably familiar with John Robertson. He’s a Perth based comedian that does a lot of nerdcentric comedy. He’s also a tad on the gawth side. And it’s with no small pleasure that he’s at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year… Which basically makes for two goth comedians, and half a dozen nerdcentric shows.

With details of the various kinds of villianous laughters

A Nifty History of Evil is a fun romp through John’s facial expressions, mans inhumanity to man, movie villians, and a puppet show about the Marquis DeSade… Which is in no way related to the store Marquis And DeSade, located in North Road, Ormond… Even if John happened to spend the entire show wearing a black PVC corset.
