Australia 2011?
You have to be kidding?
You, who?
Yoo hoo?
No. You. Who.
Okay, enough of that- I finally get to tour One Man Lord of the Rings down under. I’ve had three tours of One Man Star Wars around Oz, and every time I’ve flown away I wonder: “will I ever see Australia again?”
Australia is actually bigger that this. And not as uniformly wet.
The answer is yes.
And let me just say that if you’ve never been, GO!
Now! Book your ticket!
Yes, there are dozens of animal species that can kill you just by thinking about it, like:
The Devil Faced Death Adder- only poisonous to "living" things.
Flying Lions- A type of bat with a 40 metre wingspan. They eat fruit mostly. And people.
or
Leaping Leopard Spiders- but don't be worried, they're mostly found outdoors. Except for the indoor ones.
the dreaded
Vampire "Satan" Bears. Scary, but tasty.
and finally the vicious:
Razor-backed Rabbits- as you can see they had me surrounded. Also delicious.
Still, most wild/domestic animals won’t attack/maim/eat you, unless they’re hungry, threatened, alone, or with others.
So there’s nothing to be afraid of.
Plus, if you find yourself in anyway uncomfortable it’s best to carry
A Broadsword- just make sure to check it before you fly.
Life, in Australia, is a lot like anywhere else in Canada.
The major exception being Skydiving, which is slightly more hazardous there, than in Canada.
Flying Crocs. Again, no worries, this is just a small one at a public pool. Hey, this is a dangerous-ish animal too, right? I forgot. Yeah, these can kill you too. But only if you see one. Or it sees you. Then you're dead for sure. So, be careful.
Enough of the animals- I’m talking about the tour.
Once again, the mild mannered master, Tim Woods
Tim and Moi
is Producer of this our 4th tour together. You may have heard of his company Tim Woods’ Productions.
We’re all over the place: Hobart (TAZMANIA!), Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Sydney (AT THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE!!!), Melbourne and Brisbane. Even in my most intoxicated moments, I never thought I’d get the chance to perform at the Sydney Opera House.
Of course, at this point I would have believed anything.
I can’t wait. Even though I have to.
I will keep you up to date. And I’ll see you down there.
only two OMLOTR shows in Melbourne? more pretty pretty please!!!
We are booked to see you, and we are sooooo looking forward to it. We saw One Man Star Wars and our faces hurt by the end because of laughing/smiling so much.
We also can’t wait. Even though we have to.
Come on down!
Saw the OMLotR yesterday afternoon in Canberra with the rest of my family. It was absolutely bloody brilliant. Even my wife who isn’t a big LotR fan like my son and me but who did enjoy the films had a good time. My son and daughter and I all laughed and we all had a great time. For such a big task it was an astounding performance. I hope you tour the Star Wars show to Canberra soon and if I’ve missed it then bugger!
I hope you do it again
Thank you!
I saw your show in Hobart, and I must say that although my expectations were high, they were exceeded. I was too shy to stick around and chat, but I would have loved to say thanks in person … one tolkien nerd to another!
But anyway, thanks! It was hilarious and awe-inspiring, and I hadn’t laughed so much in ages!
How is your tooth? I saw the little piece fall from your dungarees (coveralls) to the ground and then “gollum” clank it off the stage later on. Depending on how good the cleaners are at the Opera House, you might still be able to salvage it from the front of center stage!
Hope it isnt too painful!
Great show, we really enjoyed ourselves!
Cheers!
Charlie,
Had the pleasure of seeing your show at the Opera House last Wednesday. Blown away by your energy and interpretation – plenty of laughter too. Orlando Bloom really should have had less hair.
Makes me think of something – my daughter was only 7 or 8 years old when this happened. She came out with “Welcome to Rivendell, Mr Anderson!”
I thought this was very perceptive at the time – and you made a similar reference, which was a joy to hear.
That’s the only sad thing – my kids (now grown) would have loved to see your show, and won’t get the chance this time. Too of them will be in Canada next year, so hopefully they find you.
Leads to a questions – since my chances of seeing your one man star wars show are pretty slim.. do you sell a video of same? I’d buy it!
Best of luck – may the Force go ever on and on, down from the Galaxy where it began…
