2024
Acting:
Residence premiered. A huge event at the beautiful Capitol theatre. 2 hours and 45 minutes of sometimes funny, sometimes scary Zombie Horror Comedy. It’s the same length as Dune 2, but is a different film. Nobody can take that away. It was a wonderful evening and my first time attending a premiere and also first time seeing myself on big screen. I should have taken more photos. Everyone did amazing! Crikey, I’m really hopeful it finds a good home on a streaming platform and has a life after.
Filmed Binman. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN4qi5Mn3OY&t=7s It’s a bit mad and Jake Whitford has some bonkers ideas. Loads of fun and I was really pleased to be involved.
Gigs:
Adelaide and Melbourne Comedy Festivals were great. I got to perform at the Classic in New Zealand. This was an honour and had been on my bucket list. I am excited about what I am working on for next year and the increasing plethora of side-projects I’m moving the right way.
Cruises:
I’ve been incredibly lucky and have found myself regularly contracted to work for P&O Cruise lines as a guest entertainer. I’ve been getting about the Pacific. Any tips for NZ, Fiji, Port Vila and Tonga let me know! Also – if you are in a major city in Aus and want me to perform for you, we can probably work out a show when I’m getting on or off a ship! Winning!
