End of MICF. Salons this week
🕑 Added 2023-04-25 01:00:13 +0000 UTCThe end of the Melbourne International Comedy festival has come, and I’m back in the world. It’s been a strange distant festival for me; not doing any of the night-socialising at all. I thought I might carve out a few nights, but somehow I didn’t make myself.
I think it was probably one of those things like exercise - if I’d done it, I’d have realised it was worthwhile doing? But as it was, it felt like too much effort. Getting TWIST up to scratch (while keeping up with the Gargle and other regular things, plus ye olde parentinge) was enough. Felt like enough.
Maybe part of me was also hiding from having to deal with the love I have for the comedy community; those loose friendly conversations you have in passing with smart silly people. Because I’m planning on taking a step back from the festival-show-creation cycle, and I want to not miss it?
Anyway. I’ve been loving the salons and writers meetings a lot, and thinking of more Patreon things I can do. My timezone will change mid March, when I head to london (via Tokyo!)
My gigs page on my website is updated HERE thanks to the brilliant Sam. It includes upcoming Sydney, Tokyo, U.K. and Edinburgh shows.
The Gargle this week is good, and I’m about to upgrade my sound equipment to make it easier to get good sound quality in the various cupboards and showers full of blankets and Schroedinger’s cat boxes that I have to figure out how to podcast in while on tour.
Tea With Alice this week will come out on Thursday, but the last few episodes are really really lovely.
I’m figuring out a way to organise a shared calendar for Patreonite events, so we can all know what the next month of Alice Fraser Tea stuff looks like at the same time (aiming to get it plotted out to hold steady at about two months in advance).

Am I missing where the zoom link is?
Putting in a little OT today so won’t be able to make the meetup but I’ll try next time

As an Evil Dead fan I can’t express enough how much I love this pic 🖤🖤🖤
Fixed, thank you!
This is great! The writers meeting comes across as Tuesday in that link, though. Which it isn’t. It should be Monday Aus, which is Sunday U.K./US
I've created a calendar, if you're the kind of person who lives in their diary as much as I do. It's public, so I won't be adding the links to the Zoom calls. If you'd like help setting it up in your preferred calendar software, let me know. It should be simple enough. https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/2e43a78e61599717828b0004b5539926f36e762a1498cb0bf3826a7662ba631f%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics
Thank you for the timezone links. I know it adds an extra step to these posts, but it makes it so much easier to anticipate and visualize upcoming events.
The audio equivalent of "molecular gastronomy served on a roller coaster.".
Hilarious and probably true
Fun fact, if you don't apologize for bad sound, 99% of listeners won't notice the difference between a professional studio and a hotel bathroom because we're all listening in a car or on headphones in noisy places.
