Tales from the bush
 Comedian Peter Green (pictured) spent most of 2004 cycling around Australia's small towns doing
stand-up with fellow comic Domenick O'Kieran
to raise money for the Cancer Council and getting a unique perspective on our times.
They cycled 20 000km, performed 200 live shows, and raised $40,000.
On Wednesday night at Comedy on the Rox they recount their adventures.
Their best tales from around the country are hilarious, surreal, tragic, often in questionable taste but always entertaining.
``These
tiny towns, they're so far removed from the news. They watch it, they
sort of have a little opinion about it, but in the end they don't care.
They know terrorists aren't going to come to bloody Normanton, up in
the Gulf of Carpentaria, and blow up their RSL. They just drink on and
party and work,'' O'Kieran says.
Green is a writer for Australia's Funniest Home Videos and until June
2007, he owned the world's second largest ball of used clingwrap.
He has written extensively for TV, with credits on the TV Week Logie Awards, Strictly Dancing, Akmal
and Friends, Austen Tayshus Australia Day Special 2006, Stand Up
Australia, and O'Loghlin On Saturday Night.
These dynamic comedy story tellers also will host Heat #6 of Quest
for the Best. Contestants will include:
- Cyrus Bezyan
- Edward Courtenay
- Ben McLeod
- Jim Fishwick
- Arjun Miglani
- Tim McIntyre
- Sue Thomas
Word of the week is Carpet.
It all adds up to a great night of entertainment.
Tickets are $15 ($12 conc) and are available through Moshtix.
As we grow you help us grow Kiva- November 09- Sixty Seven Loans
In 2007 Comedy on the Rox became a KIVA lender, using money from our nights of laughter, joy and happiness to support others. To date the audiences at Comedy of the Rox have to helped to finance 67 loans to individuals around the world. Of these, 30 loans have been repaid in full. We decided to refinance other loans with these repayments.See more at Kiva.org.
Kiva is a microfinancing organisation that enables individuals to give $25 loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world. You've heard the story, "Give a person a fish and they eat for a day, give them a fishing rod and they eat for life"...
Why do we support Kiva?
It's your entertainment dollar that helps Kiva lend money to people to buy the proverbial fishing rod so that they can make a living, expand their small businesses, and repay the loan.
The money repaid is then loaned to another person in need, and in this way your gift keeps on giving.
Since November 2007, Comedy on the Rox has made loans many people around the world on your behalf. You can read all their stories on our Kiva lender page, and find out how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life.
