Exciting news, pals! I’ve been announced as a recipient for a Moosehead Grant for 2016.
The Mooseheads help fund shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival that are in some way different and ambitious. They’ve very kindly gone with my idea of a comedy lecture about Australia’s fucked up immigration policies, Boundless Plains To Share.
I’m stoked and terrified about taking on this challenge and hope to make it something really special. The brilliant Scott Edgar of Tripod fame will be my director and I’m hoping to collaborate with refugees, detainees and advocacy groups from far and wide to make sure it’s all legit.
I’ll be keeping folks updated on the progress of the show via my podcast and you can also follow along via the Mooseheads facebook page.
BPTS is only slated for the 2016 Melbourne Comedy Festival at this stage, but I’ll also be touring a brand new stand up show, The World Keeps Happening around the country in the first half of next year.
