Well partygoers, the rambunctious reign of Dimboola has come to an end.

Thats right, the wedding is over. The cake is ruined. The guestshave all left. Father O’shea is passed out in a wheely bin out the back, and the wedd [...]

Well folks, sad as it may be, Dimboola is almost at an end.

With only one week of the production remaining, we are well and truly on thehome stretch.

You will have to excuse me if I am a bit more scatterbrained than usual this blog, but I am still coming down from the excitement of doing an on-air ABC Radio interview with John Faine which also featured the likes of Lisa McCune and Ian Stenlake, while next door, none other than Peter Russell-Clarke was making a salad, in fisherman pants! So much excitementin so [...]

With not long to go, tensions are mounting.

The past few days have been a frantic and frenetic fluster of frazzled farts.�

There are many qualities that one looks for in a theatrical producer.�

Efficiency, professionalism, an iron fist, the buns of an ancient Greek olympian, and of course, the ability to be a ruthless tight-arsewhen dealing with a [...]

T’was a momentous occasion this weekend. No, not because Phil finally turned up to rehearsals sober.......No, not because Renee finally hit every song within an octave of the actual notes........and no, not because our Producer extraordinaire Doug Montgomery actually turned up to a rehearsal (or, rather, popped his head in). No, it was a momentous weekendfo [...]

I arrived at rehearsal this week to an unsettling silence. I climbed the stairs of our rehearsal venue, pried open the door and was greeted by . . . . an empty room. Had everyone gone on an impromptu “research” trip to the pub? No, surely not. Oh of course! I felt terrible, obviously everyone else except for me had gone to the wrong venue. Howembarras [...]

Time to be serious this week I’m afraid:

A spanner was well and truly thrown into the works this week, or rather a box of spanners, as Robert began rehearsal with a sobering set of announcements. Of course, being the soft [...]

There was something odd about this weeks rehearsal. Something awry, an unsettling feeling that filled the air and raised nipple hairs. An eerie quiet permeated the atmosphere that I couldn’t quite put my finger on until I glanced around the room and it all fell into place. Of course, no blindingly blonde curls . . .� no blazingly bold fashions . . . no inne [...]

Well stone the flamin’ crows!

It has begun.

Thats right folks, the wedding invitations have been sent out and there’s no bloody turning back now! After 39 years, Dimboola is returning to La Mama for the wedding of the century. And lets face it, everyone loves a wedding. Free food, free piss, embarrassing tales of dreadful debauchery, and the high possibility of a shag before the night is out! You can expect all this & more when we freakish f [...]
