I had this massive brainwave over the past 6 hours - I want to do a show at comedy festival. hehe. I want to do a show about my Eurovision obsession.

I'm not in any way proclaiming I'm a comedian. Far from it. But I believe there's plenty of unintentional comedy in discussing Eurovision and my obsession and its history.

Seriously. I'm thinking this could work.
I always thought it would be awesome to do my own show at comedy festival, but I just can't imagine myself writing 'jokes'. Storytelling I can do. I have heaps of stories. I love telling my stories.

I want to take video footage in Moscow now. I want to show the world Eurovision outside of just the broadcast. To do this, I might have to apply for accreditation. If I say I'm writing a show about my obsession of Eurovision for Melbourne Comedy Festival 2010...?

What brought it on was peoples reaction to my story of going to Eurovision this year at Bens farewell yesterday. Initially people ridicule you for going, but after 5 mins they all admit they adore the show and watch it every year, and about 10 mins into the conversation they actually think going to Eurovision would be awesome. Its a wonderful celebration of kitsch - a guilty pleasure, something that will be the best party ever to attend. Yes, they all said I was obsessed during the conversation (what with my knowledge of it), but they all thought it was a fantastic holiday idea and told me they'd be keen to hear what its like on my return.
