Tonight I'm previewing my 23 show run of She Was Probably Not A Robot at The Malthouse for Comedy Festival. Come check it out (if you please). It's a bit of a newer version of the show (the basic structure is the same). Oh and I've moved back to Melbourne to be based here so if it goes badly, well... yeah, this is pretty much make or break for the future of my career in Australia, so, yeah come along.
Cool as fog (to my knowledge fog is the coolest of the moistures).
OH and as a little prize for reading this far, here is a secret code for 2 for 1 tickets: ROBOT241 - pretty sweet code hey? It will be available for the first week only)

★★★★ "Side-splittingly funny, heart-wrenching and utterly absurd this is a beautiful piece of theatre from one of Tuxedo Cat’s finest. Stunning." - Adelaide Advertiser
