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.

mrs.peacock will be playing this Thursday 14 July (i.e. tomorrow night) at Indigo Bar, 161 Cuba Street, Wellington. It's the first of two farewell fundraisers for the always arousing Ben Hurley who in addition to giving excellent head and being the erstwhile Godfather of the Wellington Comedy Mafia, also won some award or other (I think it might be named after some dead comedian) last year. The Benny Hill award. I think that might be what it was called.

Anyhow, the show will kick off at around 8pm (which in comedy-speak means sometime between 8.30 and 9 - but come early to get a drink and make sure you get a seat). It'll probably cost around 10 bucks, and such talents as Vaughan King and Grant Lobban will also be performing.

over and out

The final show of An Audience with mrs.peacock was last Saturday and we think it went pretty damn well, all things considered. But we'd like to hear from you, our loving fan base. Please feel free to post your review of our show in comments, below.

While the show is over, however, mrs.peacock live on. We're hopefully performing in at least one "Late & Live" at the Classic this week (hosted by Brendhan Lovegrove) - and we should have some appearances in Wellington and Auckland in June.
