An overnight comedy success after nine years’ work
Arts Hub asked me to write about what it was like starting comedy late in life and getting some recognition. I tend to wanky here, sorry about that.
The Drawing Room Radio National Interview with Patricia Karvelas
Honestly the best interviewer I think I’ve ever encountered, Patricia Karvelas got me saying stuff I ordinarily wouldn’t have felt so comfortable about. It’s a good, meaty 19 minute interview.

“Damn Brilliant”
Wow…What an MC Chris makes!
As the organiser for our annual Corporate Awards Gala Event, she made my life so much easier! She was ready & waiting & watching my every move on stage; ready to catch me & how cool is she at filling the airspace with comedy to keep the vibe buoyant in a big room!! Chris had a crazy tough room with a lot happening & she still captured their attention with her wit, wonder & bravado!
Damn brilliant. A huge thank you & a massive recommendation for anyone looking for an MC filled with a special bag of tricks!

Fab show at Melbourne comedy festival. Bliss for depressed mothers of teenagers. The irony was great – do it much more. The wisdom is great too, it silences the room, but never let that bother you.
Great show at the oddly named Portico Room at Melbourne Town Hall. Christine’s warmth, wit and refusal to play the game of adult responsibility make her an icon for all of us failed adults. As said earlier ‘warm’ but without the ick, wise but not patronising and never predicable. Did I say ‘funny’ as?
