Australia - It's very far away. -
Categories: Hello from Australia.
Or G'day, as they say here. It's very hot at the moment, so I think that's why they say that.
Not many Australian people actually say that, but I've got a rule that I only talk to Australian people who start every sentance with 'G'day', and they have to have a hat with corks on. Otherwise what's the point of being Australian.
We flew here on an aeroplane. It takes nearly a whole day. You can watch Flubber starring Robin Williams nearly fifteen times in that time. There's a whole TV channel especially for watching Flubber nearly fifteen times. They turned it off before we landed, and the film was only half-way through, so I'll never know what happened at the end of the fifteenth time, which is a shame. If it's the same as the other fourteen, everything turned out okay, but I'll never know now. Unless I get the same seat on the way back.
We're doing the Melbourne International Comedy Festival here in Melbourne, which is in Australia. Big Howard is "Jet Lagged", which means he is allowed to be grumpy because he's got an excuse.
We've got a couple of days to recover, and do interviews on things, before we start doing our show. The festival runs from the 19th of March to the 13th of April. And after that we're going to be in Aukland, and after that we are going to be on holiday, and then we are going to be in Taupo.
Nothing much has happened so far, appart from Big Howard eating a lot of Sushi, and freshly-squeezed fruit juice. He says its very good for him. I'm sure that's why he eats so much of it.
Other Comedians that are here are David O'Doherty, who is a very funny Irish man, Josie Long, who isn't an Irish man, Des Bishop, who isn't Jon Bishop, but Big Howard keeps thinking he is. Pappy's Fun Club are here too. They went to the same university as Big Howard, which is nice, as they always have something boring to talk with him about. Reginal D Hunter is here too, and Christian Shaal. They are both American, but I don't think from the same bit of American. Nina Conti is here too, with her monkey Monk. We haven't seen them yet. Also Ross Noble and Daniel Kitson are here, but they're not here yet, if they are they're not right here, which is good, because it would be very rude typing this, as I haven't seen them for ages.
I've got to go now because I'm dictating this to my friend over the phone to my friend in England, and Big Howard's mobile phone is running out of batteries.
