what do you want, a medal?
I'm extraordinarily proud to announce that mrs.peacock has received TWO nominations in the prestigious New Zealand Comedy Guild Awards for 2006.
Of course, both of these nominations are for "most offensive gag" - but we're still very pleased. We received one nomination for "Walking the Line", and one for our new hit "The Flange". Here's hoping it doesn't split the votes too much...
We're also performing at the awards, and I will be co-presenting (along with James Nokise and The Boy With Tape On His Face) the award for "Best Industry Friend".
In a similar vein, we're also one of 9 applicants for the 2006 Billy T Award. The application show takes place on Saturday 14 January, at The Classic - if you're in Auckland, please feel free to come along in support.
UPDATE: We won the most offensive gag award for Walking the Line, and a good night was had by all. Now we need to write an even more offensive song for next year...

As a long time fan it disappoints me to see mrs.peacock accepting and endorsing mainstream institutions like awards ceremonies. I believed that this band represented the counter culture of New Zealand Standup and did not bow to THE MAN! As a multi award winner myself people may find this hypocritical of me, but I find this is the easiest way to remind the world exactly how many awards i have won(12). I will continue to be a huge fan of "the cock" despite their win in the New Zealand Comedy Guild awards for most offensive gag(especially as I was the 2003 winner) and wish them the best of luck in the upcoming Billy T awards, which I won in 2004. I shall now get back to my international comedy career (8 countries this year) and my full length mirror.
Yours lovingly

Ben,
You of all people should know that mrs.peacock's counter-culture rep is merely accidental - our real goals, like yours, are money and bitches.
Following your excellent example, we aim to win as many awards as possible in order to facilitate the achievement of these goals.
Yours chastely,
Jarrod
PS: How many of those countries will you be allowed back to?
PPS: 12? You know that your primary school underwater hockey awards aren't counted, right?
