As well as doing some special comedy festival broadcasts of The Powder Room Podcast for MICF 2010, I will be performing in a brand new stand-up comedy show called The Uncanny X-Gen from April 6-17 at Three Degrees, QV centre, Melbourne.
Generation X (the thirteenth generation or the baby busters) have experienced some of the world’s greatest crises – Gulf War, Tiananmen Square and Milli Vanilli lip-syncing. In our day, kids brought lunch to school not guns, research was done at the library not via Google and when we sent mail – we had to write with a pen on a piece of paper, lick a stamp and take it to the post office. If it wasn’t for Gen X, there would be no increase in the divorce rate, no yuppies, no video games and no Brian Mannix.
Three of Australia’s “Generation X of comedy” – Gavin Baskerville (7pm Project/Moosehead Award recipient 2005) Carolyn Chillura (Parental As Anything) and Wendy Little (The Sheryls, The Middle Ages) give their take on what it’s like to be a Gen Xer sandwiched between the blame-shifting Boomers and the whiny Gen Y’s.
9PM Tues – Sat April 6 – 17
Three Degrees, QV Square, Cnr Swanston & Lonsdale St, Melbourne
