Reel Life Aftermath

Jason Chong’s Reel Life is done at the Adelaide Fringe, thanks to everyone who came to see it.  It received a Judges Commendation at the Fringe awards which was lovely too.

A big thankyou to everyone involved – especially Kirsty who did heaps of work behind the scenes and pushed a lot of buttons each night, Mark Trenwith who directed me, Justin who was my venue tech, Screamdance for sponsoring me, the Garden of Unearthly Delights for having me, and the City of Holdfast Bay for helping me out with rehearsal space.

Jason joins Il Dago

G’Day / Ciao / Yiassou / Ni hao / ¡Hola!

I’m joining the Il Dago tour which kicks off really soon on it’s 2010 Australian Tour.  The Sydney shows begin on April 8th and the Melbourne shows start on April 28th.  Dates for the rest of the country will be added soon.

Il Dago is a multi-award winning show with Joe Avati, Simon Palomares, George Kapiniaris and some guy called Jason Chong will be your MC.  I went as a punter to an Il Dago show last time around, and they are huge – and even finish with a bit of opera, for you classy sons-of-goats.

Check www.ildago.com.au for all the dates and details.

Why The Bloody Hell Aren't Ya? @ The Melbourne Fringe!

I’m bringing my show “Why The Bloody Hell Aren’t Ya?” to the Melbourne Fringe.

Here’s the blurb: It’s a show about giving blood. If you want to know more about donating blood, what happens, what it’s used for and see a picture of a cat being ridden, this is the show for you.

‘Highly entertaining and informative show that everyone should see.’ – The Groggy Squirrel 

‘A bloody brilliant show for a great cause.’ – Rip It Up

It’s on from the 5th to the 11th of October at the Northcote Town Hall (Studio 2). It’s a show I’m really proud of, so I’d love you to see it. You can find out more at www.melbournefringe.com.au
