Started a comedy duo with me mate, Stevo, from Byron Bay when we were both back in Sydney 4 or 5 years ago. We worked together on the successful comedy radio show 'The Wonderful Thing' on Bay FM for a few years before that.
I had met Austentayshus - of 'Australiana' fame - one day in the streets around that time and told him I thought he and I could work on a film script together. He was open to the idea and we got along well - so we had a few meetings and chatted, wrote down some ideas.
It didn't really pan out - but when he heard of the Boing Boyz he suggested we join him on his new tour. It was a great break and an exciting moment.
Actually getting up there on stage in pubs out west - Blacktown, Redfern, etc - was a harsh realization - despite our spending plenty of time writing and practicing. Comedy is hard!!
The two front men of Dongers Nightclub decided to retire after just one season. Learnt heaps, didn't get into any real fights, got to witness a maniac/genius in action (Austentayshus) and moved on.
Boing, boing...
