What’s up with Down Under

Australia 2011?

You have to be kidding?

You, who?

Yoo hoo?

No. You. Who.

beside myself

Okay, enough of that- I finally get to tour One Man Lord of the Rings down under. I’ve had three tours of One Man Star Wars around Oz, and every time I’ve flown away I wonder: “will I ever see Australia again?”

Australia is actually bigger that this. And not as uniformly wet.

Australia is actually bigger that this. And not as uniformly wet.

The answer is yes.

And let me just say that if you’ve never been, GO!

Now! Book your ticket!

Yes, there are dozens of animal species that can kill you just by thinking about it, like:

Death Adder- only poisonous to "living" things.

The Devil Faced Death Adder- only poisonous to “living” things.

Flying Lions- A type of bat with a 40 metre wingspan.

Flying Lions- A type of bat with a 40 metre wingspan. They eat fruit mostly. And people.

or

Flying Spiders- but don't be worried, they're mostly found outdoors, except for the indoor ones.

Leaping Leopard Spiders- but don’t be worried, they’re mostly found outdoors. Except for the indoor ones.

the dreaded

Vampire Bears. Scary, but tasty.

Vampire “Satan” Bears. Scary, but tasty.

and finally the vicious:

Razor-backed Rabbit- as you can see they had me surrounded.

Razor-backed Rabbits- as you can see they had me surrounded. Also delicious.

Still, most wild/domestic animals won’t attack/maim/eat you, unless they’re hungry, threatened, alone, or with others.

So there’s nothing to be afraid of.

Plus, if you find yourself in anyway uncomfortable it’s best to carry

A Broadsword- just make sure to check it before you fly.

Life, in Australia, is a lot like anywhere else in Canada.

The major exception being Skydiving, which is slightly more hazardous there, than in Canada.

No worries, this is just a small one at the public pool.

Flying Crocs. Again, no worries, this is just a small one at a public pool. Hey, this is a dangerous-ish animal too, right? I forgot. Yeah, these can kill you too. But only if you see one. Or it sees you. Then you’re dead for sure. So, be careful.

Enough of the animals- I’m talking about the tour.

Once again, the mild mannered master, Tim Woods

Tim and Moi

is Producer of this our 4th tour together. You may have heard of his company Tim Woods’ Productions.

We’re all over the place: Hobart (TAZMANIA!), Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Sydney (AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE!!!), Melbourne and Brisbane. Even in my most intoxicated moments, I never thought I’d get the chance to perform at the Sydney Opera House.

Of course, at this point I would have believed anything.

Of course, at this point I would have believed anything.

I can’t wait. Even though I have to.

I will keep you up to date. And I’ll see you down there.

    is the star wars trilogy at Southill Park Arts Centre suitable for 6 year olds?

    • admin says:

      Yes, as long as he/she has seen the original SW Trilogy, otherwise it might be a bit of a head scratcher:)

    I’m planning to see this at Middlesbrough Theatre, but how long is the running time? Sorry if it seems a silly question, but it seems to be listed differently everywhere I look. :-p

    Hello, I am a student from Hong Kong. we had the honor of watching your show about 2 years ago when you came and performed the one-man Star Wars show at the Academy of Performing Arts and at the time you demonstrated the beginnings of your Lord of the Rings sketch..

    As an audience member I must say we all very much enjoyed your show and was wondering if you would return to give us another run, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings.

    Me and my friends in particular would love to watch you perform again.

    Would it be possible?
