This time of year I'm normally at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, hanging around the bar, seeing about a hundred shows, doing my own show promotion and management. Not this year. In order to attend Moscow, a sacrifice had to be made. Therefore for the first time in 13 years, I won't be there.

And of all the years, the comedy festival has a Eurovision-theme show...


Trades Hall is presenting every Friday a competition to find a possible entrant for an Australian entry into Eurovision 2010. Of course, its all a joke, but isn't it great to see the Australias biggest cultural event celebrate the Worlds best cultural event?

If only I could be in Melbourne to cheer the acts on. *sigh* Its free, its on for the next 3 Fridays. Check it out!
