Adelaide expat, comedy nerd, lefty femmo vegetarian, wannabe writer, some time critic, has views, delightfully appalling, likes hats but only owns a few.
There’s a lot of ridiculous Christmas music in shops at the moment but the cover of My Favourite Things (from the Sound of Music) with sleigh bells underneath takes the (Christmas tree-shaped) biscuit.

This was fascinating. And a lot funnier than I expected.

On day one of rehearsals, she reputedly asked Cleese:
'How did they ever get married?'
And Cleese thought, 'Oh god, I was afraid you'd ask that.'

Oh, Prunella Scales. A real treat of a performer. A great unanswered question about Fawlty Towers is what kind of rizz a young Basil radiated to pull an absolute fox like Sybil. So long, you little nest of vipers.

Finally saw the acclaimed play Stereophonic last night. It’s very long but doesn’t feel it, and a nice, almost ambient, journey into the world of 70s music, but it has a big problem: it’s not saying anything beyond that artists are perfectionists and gender politics are a bit messed up.

Another good episode in which I play “substitute woman whose mic’s on the Fritz” and reminisce about London’s Save Get This rally.
With upgraded audio equipment, we're back with Get This alum Tony Wilson and Champagne Comedy Podcast's Alison to cover late 2006. KFC, Passiona High, and more.

When bores on the internet bemoan that ‘you can’t do anything on TV anymore because of the fire brigade’ or some such shit, Alexei Sayle’s Stuff really is a programme that could never be made now, and it’s nothing to do with PC.

Vale Robert Redford. He was in so many great films but my favourite was All Is Lost, where he had just one word of dialogue. And it’s a corker.
