My 2nd show was Dune but Worse from AoNZ performer Sean Burnett Dugdale-Martin who sends up both film and book brilliantly. Very silly, epic production where the audience gets to play multiple characters, if they want, but don't have to. The sandworm is a suitably huge part of the show. Hilarious.

What an awesome first night #melbournefringe tonight. So excited to start with one of the best Cabaret artists in the country, Jude Perl. Jazzy piano playing & a voice to send you into the ether. She's inviting talented friends on stage and tonight was Kate K-S and their voices blended perfectly. 🤩

There's just way too much to be very cross about, today. The Australian government investing OUR MONEY in EllenMusk's stupid space project and weapons companies is next level crap. I've disagreed with governments before but I've never been this disappointed in one.

This is well known by IT experts, and was the advice to government. It was ignored for commercial, and worse, reasons amounting to treason. Lawmakers failed the corruption test, and now we pay the criminal tax.

Here he is in Carry On Teacher, Richard had a long fabulous career until his stroke at 59. Of course I loved him in Man About the House and Robin's Nest but also whenever he popped up in anything really. Saw him play Liz Taylor's little brother Ptolemi in Cleopatra recently. RIP sweety.

Tonight for dinner I made the dish Rumbledethumps. A sort of Scottish version of Colcannon; lightly mashed potatoes, cabbage and onions with cheese melted over the top in the oven. I added some herbs from the garden. A delicious side to steak.
An enambled dish with half eaten cheesy potato cabbage bake with a big spoon on a linen tablecloth.

After listening to Stuart Goldsmith's chat with her, I just came across Kristen Schaal's Live at the Fillmore special & it is as brilliant and astonishing as they talked about. She proves her chops with a solid 1st half of comedy that had me crying with laughter then rides it off the rails. Awesome!

Internet Movie Database has been my favourite thing on the internet since it began and now it's been ruined. I can't read reviews anymore and I can imagine it will all be locked soon. AI is making everything worse, like a plague moving through everything online and I'm just sad about it.

Gorgeous late winter day to go see daffodils at my friend's house in the country. He calls it the Daffodil Party & we've not done it since before 2020. I came home with a bucket full of daffodils. The frogs were loud after the rain has filled the dam & I heard & saw lots of birds inc a pardalote!
A drift of different kinds of daffodils flowering. Also some wattles flowering in the background and trees that have yet to put on their spring leaves because it's still winter.Close up of daffodils

I reviewed Spamalot in the UK with Tim Curry as King Arthur. I wrote that he was the single most charismatic performer I had ever seen onstage. The editor tried to delete 'I had ever seen', thinking I meant that night. Me: No. He is the most charismatic performer I have ever seen. Bar none.
Tim Curry taking a curtain call in Spamalot, dressed as King Arthur, arm in arm with Eric Idle. Unfortunately that dipwad John Cleese is in the background. Into every life a little rain must fall.
