news from inside the bubble autumn 2013

Happy Easter everyone.

Stuff and Nonsense

  Well, it's all secret squirrel this end, folks, but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. Since last year, I've been in contact with Quail TV, the people who made At Home With Julia for the ABC, and there is a plan afoot for a new project with them that may kick off mid-year (hopefully!) featuring myself and Amanda Bishop (of Julia fame) with a host of others, including Genevieve Morris, my old mate from Comedy Inc. and the lovely Anne Edmonds, my stablemate at Independent Artists.

If we get to do it I will be parading my impersonations on the ABC which would be great. It would also mean I'll've worked doing that on every network except SBS over 15 years... An achievement?

With a possible change in leadership of the ALP before the election in September, I'll may have to  dust off the Kevin Rudd specs for a few more appearances while honing my impersonation of Tony Abbott (that's me below, what do you think?).

Gotta keep ahead of the game.
I'm also working on a Christopher Pyne and  a Malcolm Turnbull.

I'm also looking forward to hearing some news about another possible TV project I have been involved in developing for a different production company. So, cross everything for me, people.

In the meantime, we have two new chickens. Good layers they are, too.

 NOTICES from inside the bubble

December 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of Dave Taranto's passing. Please do yourself a favour and visit The Taranto Show to grab a taste of what Dave was about and why he continues to mean so much to so many.


Midsumma Festival  Fun

  Noeline had a great time sharing a little of her experience of life inside the Dame Phyllis Frost Detention Centre for Women during the Midsumma Festival... She did 5 ten minute spots and hopefully these little tidbits will go towards a full-length show, where Noeline will reveal all (well, not physically).

In the meantime, Noels can still be heard on JOY 94.9 every Monday afternoon on Manic Monday Drive, with Sparks, Trev (her old Bingo pals) and Zoe (who sounds really nice...)
