		<description>I  enjoy reading/viewing these blog posts they are really interesting and funny. These longer interviews really offer the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into how comedy really comes about and life in the entertainment industry. I wish there were more insightful interviews like this one around. Keep up the good work Tom!</description>

		<description>I was there that night! It was so bad especially because you did demonstrate at the beginning that you were politically and socially aware I was pretty shocked because like when people come to watch comedy especially at Spleen Bar you have no idea what you&#039;re gonna get so you&#039;ve gotta be pretty open minded. Anyway, people are fucked so there isn&#039;t much you can do and you had a pretty shit crowd at Spleen-- I was the black girl in the very middle haha</description>

		<description>Thanks for sharing that story. I too was really impressed at your show in Brisbane when I think back to when I was your age (Joh was premier and Qld had no poofs) I didn&#039;t really understand what being gay was. I was 26 before I had moved to Sydney and worked that out. 
I can only imagine that you must be wonderful role model for any young gays who are anything like I was. I get a sense of acceptance through what you can openly say now compared with how confronting it was for me at the time.
You&#039;re doing wonderful work in a most accessible medium. 
Good on you.

Cheers, that old fag that bought your DVD Sunday arvo in Brisbane,
Mark.</description>

		<description>Hey Tom, great selections!
I&#039;m a long time listener of your breakfast show, and very excited to see you in the festival this year. I was hoping, if you had a minute or 6 and half, I&#039;m part of a new sketch comedy group debuting at the festival this year and we would love to hear your thoughts on some of our material. You can check us out at http://auntydonna.com or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aunty-Donna/309604349096853.

Cheers mate,
And chookas for the festival!

Mark.</description>

		<description>I&#039;d like to add to this awesome list and recommend Sarah Quinn - Weird Lonely Strangers. Sarah was given rave reviews for this show in the Adelaide Fringe Festival and she pulls off, as a solo performer, a production a team of 10 thespians might struggle with. Sarah Quinn is a must see up and comer in my opinion.</description>
