Hi all, the name 's Karen (aka Ammarine) and I'm a 21 year old Enviromental Scientist. I love Australian comedy in general and I'm planning to see the ComFest this year! Unfortunately, I didn't become a fan until after they'd finished their Goodbye tour... Needless to say I went out and bought the Goodbye and Adventures of DVD's along with the Best of the Comedy Gala which has my all-time favourite acts: the sleeping bags and the tape/Col-as-a-roadie sketches! In the memory of Col and Frank, may they reunite for our sakes!! Karen

Morning!! Well I am an unfortunate one in a way that I found out in time but wasn't allowed to go see them Until i was 15 now I can go to shows but obviously too late... When I turned 15 there was still time to fly down and see them in Melbourne but then dad timely lost his job. Nice bloody work grarl anyhoo that's my sad story for the day

Thanks for the great welcome!! I feel better knowing I'm not the only one who missed out on the laughs. Hugs to all!
To answer some questions: 1. Yes, I really am an environmental scientist. I finished Honours last year. This year, while looking for a 'real world' job, I'm working at my uni with the bugs that were my project from last year. 2. Yes, I have seen The Island, but on DVD. My brother gave it to me for Christmas.
Is anyone else going down to Melbourne for ComFest? I'm going for a week and a half around Easter...

I'm gonna try and be there! My friend's having an engagement party near melbourne around the same time as the festival, so I'm *planning* on going down early, getting a cheap (and I mean cheap) motel room, seeing as many shows as possible in the space of a week, and basically just not sleeping. Sleep should never be used as a substitute for caffeine, hehehe. I really wanna see Tripod and Adam Hills, they're my top 2 priorities.

he he he. Join the club, hun!! I'm hoping to stay with a friend while I'm there (Cheap!) and see the same 2 shows! When will you be there? We might be there around the same time... I'm really wanting to meet people who love comedy as much as I do.
Absolutely nothing to do with l&w, but where in Sydney? I'm up north.

I'm not sure when I'll be there, but it *might* be easterish. I'm near Parramatta. You seeing Frank at the comedy store? If so I might see you there. How will you recognise me? I've got.........hair.....and a face.........and I'll be wearing...............clothes. I should be pretty easy to spot. Lol, I'm sorry, I'm tired.

Hi there, I'm Jill and welcome to the forum! Sorry it's a little late but I've been in hiding for a few days (no I don't know why). Anyway, welcome! And I also found out about LaW too late, although I did get to see the Goodbye show (even though I was in shithouse group two lol)

Where did you get the pic from? uuuum, google image search from memory. Then just did some goodol' photoshopping. I have the same problem with my mates, they're just not into comedy. They just smile and nod when I start talking bout it, then quickly change the subject. Ah well, their loss. I couldn't live without comedy. It's escapism I guess.
