Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour tickets now on sale
The title pretty much says it all: tickets are now on sale via the Comedy Festival web site for the 2009 Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour, featuring Ben McKenzie (the Man in the Lab Coat), Janet A. McLeod (Quiz Internationale) and Andy Muirhead (Collectors). Some nights did sell out last year, so get in quick this time around!
The break between Festivals
Well, Comedy Festival is over, and the Melbourne Fringe is still months away, so it's time for a little rest for Shaolin Punk. Well - a rest where performance is concerned. Ben McKenzie is currently working on some new ideas for projects for 2008, so watch this space for details. And of course you can catch both Ben and A Record or an OBE co-star Rob Lloyd at Impro Sundae, the fortnightly improvised comedy show from The Crew.
But we'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who saw A Record or an OBE in Adelaide or Melbourne, and all those who attended the Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour. While OBE may not return - certainly not in Melbourne - there will be more tours, both here and in other cities. Again, watch this space for details!
Last night of OBE!
Well, this is it ladies and gentlemen - I know some of you like to wait until the last minute, and here it is. OBE's final Melbourne performance is tonight at 6:30 PM in the Evatt Room at Trades Hall. There are still tickets available, so grab 'em online or buy them at the door.
OBE on RRR tonight?
The Trades Radio Variety Hour, recorded live as part of Comedy @ Trades, airs its last episode tonight at 7pm on RRR - and A Record or an OBE stars Ben McKenzie and Rob Lloyd may feature as guests! Hear an excerpt from the play and be surprised by the musical tangents onto which the boys' interview will wander with the assistance of Casey Bennetto and the Half-Assed Three - depending on which of the episodes recorded this week will go to air.
You can tune in if you're in Melbourne on 102.7 FM, but you can also listen via streaming audio on the RRR web site.
