My lovely friends Jen and Kate, and my even lovelier wife Meg are performing in the Wellington Fringe Festival with their original show Flights of Fancy.

It’s a comedy about love, airlines, and songs of yesteryear. I’ve written a few jokes for the show, and made a few backing tracks. It’s going to be really funny, with great songs, and is not to be missed.

I’m very excited to be working with fellow Sam (Irwin) in a two-header in the Wellington leg of the comedy festival this May. Look how funny he is! And this is a only a photo of a split second of time. Imagine spending an hour with this guy in person as he tells jokes and stories and plays music. It’s very exciting.

My New Year’s Resolution this year is 1920 x 1080. My real resolution is to write 10 jokes a day. It’s a tip Drew Carey suggested in a book I once read. Although the 10 jokes may not be fantastic, the shear number of jokes means you’re bound to get material that can be moulded and shaped into gold. I’m 25 days into the year, and have already amassed 250 jokes.

The sitcom I’ve been working on received funding from NZ On Air in the December application round. It stars Tammy Davis and Oliver Driver. We’re currently storylining, and will begin scripting soon. The aim at this stage is to film in May, and TV3 will air it sometime after that.
