Taking it to the small towns
The gig in Richards Bay was great. We were welcomed by Dave Savides – ed of the local newspaper. Dave I liked some of your jokes and plan to use them in my gigs. There was a great sense of community which you don’t feel in big cities anymore. We restyled the show a bit […]
Ersondes cliffhanger…
Great dramatic ending to season 2 of Ersondes didn’t you think – shot by my own wife defending my mad and awful sister who had a momentary twinge of conscience… Being caught between two women seems to be the theme for this month. Scandal is hotting up as Abigail and everyone else finds out about […]
Back home again!
I am back home after 3 weeks. Saying it makes it feel so short – but it’s a long time to be away from home and a long time to be doing the same show 4 times a day, 7 days a week. It was a great cast and crew and surprisingly (I say this […]
On being an entrepreneur
On the 30th of July I’m talking at an Entrepreneurship workshop for Raizcorp… and well you should ask! Raizcorp is a Johannesburg based enterprise that has developed the only business incubator that operates at a profit and is not subsidised. The term they use is PROSPERATOR. Essentially they provide a business hub/support to small businesses. […]
Something new for us 30-somethings!
I was reading – on the web, I think – about Dogbook – the equivalent of Facebook but for dogs or rather their owners. The rationale I think was that 30-somethings who aren’t sure about having kids should get a dog to test the waters. While I can attest to the lifestyle changes that come […]
East Coast Radio Big Walk
The East Coast Radio Big Walk on 7 June attracted about 13000 walkers – more people than the comrades. It was a festive occasion. I sang a few songs from my album and adjudicated a competition. Any member of the audience who thought they had a halfway decent singing voice was invited to join me […]
About copyright
The gig on the 14th on Johannesburg was great – it was a full and rowdy house – not as rowdy as Mokopane – Jo’burg people you’re going to have to step up to the plate a bit more… Seriously – it was a great gig. A special thanks also to the people who travelled […]
I’m a crooner!
So I walk into RT’s and ask if the auditions for the “crooner” are still open. Abigail (played by Michelle Maxwell) tells me she’s seen enough. REJECTION!!!! I had to pinch myself to remain in character. Was I on set or was this déjà vu. I mean this is a daily occurrence in an actor’s/performer’s […]
Diving with sharks
This month’s excitement was diving with sharks. Many of you who know me well – know of my passion for the environment. My poor mother despaired when I was growing up because I brought hime almost every living creature I encountered. I think the end came for her when the lizards got out and we […]
