Nate & Chong's Internetshow!

 

Live Tuesday Nights 6 – 7pm

www.kgandthegeneral.com.au

You might remember Nate from BB08 but my fondest memory of him our first day in Year 1 together when he ran away from school.

And after more than 20 years, we’re finally getting some work done.  We’re doing an internet show together – it’s not quite TV and it’s not quite radio but it is quite live.

We’re not quite sure exactly what it’ll be, but it’ll have interviews with musicians, comedians and other famous and interesting people, music, games, competitions, chit chat, reviews and heaps of other stuff.  And it’ll be the most interactive thing you’ve ever seen – you’ll be able to chat with us live in the chatroom, call up, skype us, even be in the audience, which means you’re in charge of what the show ends up being.

Our first show is Tuesday May 12th, and while I’m not too sure where you can see it, most likely it’ll be shown right after KG and the General, which you can find at www.kgandthegeneral.com.au 

So tune in from 6-7pm Tuesdays and count the things that go wrong!

Adelaide Fringe 09!

Heya peeps,

The Adelaide Fringe is right on top of us!  You should come see me do the following things:

Why The Bloody Hell Aren't Ya?

 

 Jason Chong’s Why The Bloody Hell Aren’t Ya?

This is my solo show about donating blood. 1 in 3 people will need blood in their lifetime, 1 in 30 give it. With things like the Victorian Bushfires, we all know about giving blood, but it’s needed all year round for all kinds of yucky stuff. So if you’ve never given blood but want to know what it’s like, or you used to give blood, but haven’t lately and want the motivation to start again, or you give blood now and you want to feel like you’re better than everyone else (any maybe bring your friends who don’t give blood along too), then come and I’ll give you an hour of hilarious reasons why.

Sort of the Rings

 

Sort of the Rings

This is the show that sold out the entire season at the 2006 Adelaide Fringe. It’s the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (yes, all 13 hours) in 60 minutes. It’s for fans of the books and movies, general nerds and all round good people. It’s family-friendly, so it’s also perfect for bringing your kids or parents to. If you like stuff like Lano and Woodley, the 3 Canadians or Tripod, you’ll love this.

Tickets are selling really fast, so if you want them, you can book them here: http://tix.adelaidefringe.com.au/ticketing/EventDetails.aspx?EventGuid=163b683c-a4fe-4ace-80d0-e7a3de908e60

Lastly, I do a podcast for the Adelaide Comedy Scene. A podcast is like a radio show, but you subscribe to it (it’s completely free) and each week a new episode is downloaded to your computer and you can listen to it there, or put it on your iPod and listen to it when you’re out and about. Each episode is 20-30 minutes and is filled with chat, interviews with comedians, and info on gigs, special offers and cheap tickets. It’s funny, entertaining and you can say you know the guy that does it.

You can subscribe by dragging this link into iTunes or your media player: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/AdelaideComedyPodcast

Adelaide Fringe 09 is coming…

So the 2009 Adelaide Fringe is coming soon, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival is not far behind.  I’m working on 2 shows for both these festivals.

 Why The Bloody Hell Aren’t Ya? is a show about giving blood.  It’s on at the Rhino Room.  Here’s the poster:

 I’m also in Sort of the Rings which is more of a play thing.  It’s a show that I put on with a good mate, Mike Klimczak, in the 2006 Adelaide Fringe.  It sold out the entire season and was so much fun we decided to put it on again.  It’s a family show, so you can bring your kids and parents, especially if they’re nerds.

So that’s it for now.  Nothing you can do about it all yet, but something to whet the appetite and get excited about.  The festival season is coming…

Project Standup

I’ve been asked to take part in a docco series called “Project Standup”.

It’s a show looking at ethnic Australians taking part in a stand up comedy course. It’ll be run one night a week over a couple of months, culminating in a big show for all your family and friends. So if you’re new here, or your parents moved here but still make you take part in all the customs from the old country, and you’ve always been a bit curious as to what being a stand up comic is like, we’d love to hear from you.

Give Budaya Productions a call on 8232 5583 or email them at projectstandup@yahoo.com to find out all the details.
