onwards and upwards

mrs.peacock are pleased to announce that they will be competing in "So U Think UR Funny", an upcoming comedy competition being held in sunny Hawkes Bay.

Heats are being held at the Loading Ramp, Havelock North, on Friday 7 October - with 29 acts registered to compete so far. From the heats 10 acts will be chosen to go through to the final on Saturday 8 October at the Napier Municipal Theatre - and whoever wins that will get a return ticket to the UK, open spots at Jongleurs, and introductions to UK comedy agents.

If mrs.peacock win then Dave will have to travel in my suitcase I guess.

In any case, mrs.peacock fans are strongly encouraged to make the pilgrimage to Napier to support the cock. Seriously - it'll be a fucking awesome weekend.

IN OTHER NEWS:
I'll be co-MCing the Wellington Comedy Club at Indigo in Wellington this Thursday 8 September. It's my first time MCing. Be gentle with me.

Dave is also doing semi-regular solo spots at The Classic in Auckland (he works there after all) and is doing some producing and bar managing and that sort of stuff as well. Go see him, and so on.

UPDATE:
The deserving winner of So U Think UR Funny was the very talented Mr. Jeremy Elwood. We made it through to the final though, which was nice.
