Unfortunately most of his attempts to be Serious fail miserably, because he's just so good at being funny. (I wish he'd realise that he has enormous respect from people as a serious comic artiste :))<BR/>Anyway, he likes to push his audiences, take them away from straight comic routines and dare them to still like him. He seemed to really enjoyed the falling away of the crowd from day to day as he read. I really enjoyed him reading, and it only adds to my admiration of him as a comedy guru.

It wasn't clear in my photocopied program exactly what it was, so I wandered past and decided that it wasn't for me. You're right about his reading/speaking voice though,and interesting that he decided to do a reading as one of his performance gigs.Mummy/Crithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353892248492164501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-38413364938111960392008-03-25T09:31:00.000+11:002008-03-25T09:31:00.000+11:00I know, Enny, I've been following your posts!

I did look out for both of you, though. I thought I saw Crit at one point, but I was listening to Martin and it would have been rude to run out of the venue!<BR/><BR/>Roz from WiDocs did a great job with her women's barbershop choir, so much so that I want to join it!Ampersand Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12245377686193859488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-29296881993062677382008-03-25T08:47:00.000+11:002008-03-25T08:47:00.000+11:00Thank you so much for recording Mal's victory!!!

Due to my currently chaotic life I only managed to get there yesterday, and so missed out on a lot (including Rory - Enny I'll have to read your posts to find out about him). I looked for you ducky, especially at your rellies stall, but you weren't there. I did see someone reading at the back of something, but I couldn't see if it was you! I fell hard for Truckstop Honeymoon who were my stand out act for yesterday, enough that I left the final concert to catch their troubadour gig, despite having told myslef I'd sit throught the whole thing to get a taste of what had gone on while I was off doing other stuff. Got back to hear Martin singing his John Howard song, which was fabulous. i wish I could've stayed for his late night gig, but I was buggered by about 10.15. I also wish I'd remembered that Mr Fibby were playing on the oval at 10 - I caught a little bit of them with some friends... ah well, there's always next year. Festival with baby is a possibility. 'cept that the bloke does't like going - too many hippies...Mummy/Crithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353892248492164501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-40766199278692014922008-03-24T23:48:00.000+11:002008-03-24T23:48:00.000+11:00Oh man - I realised only about an hour ago that th...Oh man - I realised only about an hour ago that the other act we were meant to see today was the fourth realm - we only went in for Rory!<BR/><BR/>I thought they had the most amazing voice, and I think youngest bro had the hots for the singers, so we both wanted to see them... *wah*<BR/><BR/>Mal Webb did a pretty good job of his, he was in this morning watching Rory too - we decided not to stay after the terribleness that was yesterdays heat ;o) We didn't see much of Women in Docs either - when they supported Rory I fell in love and bought all their CD's, then youngest bro stated he didn't like them and the accent was too put on - what little I saw of them this time it was all I can hear! Such a shame...<BR/><BR/>I've done a post for each day we were there - I can't believe we didn't see you! AND I saw that choir (Zoe's) twice!!! I was looking at all the kids and thinking "I wonder if that's Bumblebee"... :o)Ennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15613379734506337694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8632542.post-75217673395321390982008-03-24T23:04:00.000+11:002008-03-24T23:04:00.000+11:00It was a pretty good festival, wasn't it?

Pacific Curls? Women in Docs? All excellent, and well worth the ticket price alone (except that I got a freebie season pass, so ...)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for posting that vid. I missed the final as it was on at the same time as our practice. Mal Webb is a funny guy. Well deserved win, although apparently Roz from Women in Docs stole his trophy.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18054854689952896339noreply@blogger.com
