Some comedians write jokes, others live them. Tony Woods is the latter. The hilarious mishaps and mix ups that happen to this top comedian contrast with his smooth, dry-witted persona to come up with a comedy style that is truly unique. His past trips to Australia, and Sydney in particular, provide the basis for many of Woods' fish out of water tales and Australians love him for it. Australian audiences connect with Tony so well as the only person more laid back than an Aussie is Tony Woods.

From the streets of Barcelona to Melbourne's Hamer Hall come Ojos de Brujo, one of the truly unique groups of the new millennium.
Experimenting with a heady fusion of Catalan rumba and a hot flamenco heartbeat, this feisty eleven-piece ensemble embraces traditions of hip hop, funk and jazz with the spice of Afro-Cuban energy and a hot social conscience to match. Led by flamboyant gypsy-punk Marina 'La Canillas' Abad, the groups' Spanish roots bring a raw edge to their high-energy performances; "If the mark of a great band is that they make excellent albums sound even better live," enthused The Guardian earlier this year, "then Ojos de Brujo are indeed a great band." |

The man has a plan. Well, the idiot man child has a plan. He has three years until he turns 40. Three years to develop some real skills so he can get out of comedy and do something important with his life. Like feed the poor or invent a hat that keeps the sun off while cooking dim sims.
Justin Hamilton is the Idiot Man Child and he's not afraid to admit it. His friends are settling down (boring), his ex boss was a nutbag (sexist, racist, you name it) and the only way he can deal with confrontation is with well, inappropriate jokes.
But mostly he just wants attention, damn it!
