I dont know what i wanna say other than Perth is blessed with some amazingly good comedians at the mo.
True there are a lot of absolute gash merchants out there, but the new breed of Perth comedians is amazing. Very clever, surreal, always willing to try new stuff, regardless of audience. Xavier Michelides, Josh Makinda, James Eaton, Mike Goldstein, Stu Packham, Ethan Marrell, Andrew Horabin, James De Leo, Keiran Eaton, Claire Hooper, Andrea Gibb and of course the dynamic Ollie Raison (that may be me) are all doing some amazing work at the moment. They need your support, else they will fuck off to the eastern states to become institutionalized dull and safe comics. Eastern states is sooo lame, it churns out clone comedians, clones of shite no less. I am proud of Perth comedians, continually producing great work to an unenthusiastic perth audience. Ahhh well it took a while for people to notice our bands, and everyone knows how good they are. Perth is such a fucking cool place, amazing talent pool for such an isolated place, and thankfully that isolation means our influences are very diverse, we dont have to answer to anyone really. Keep supporting Perth culture, if you havent been to comedy go and see any of the acts mentioned above. If you agree please let us know!!! Wow what a fucking sucky post, I love it!!
