Bob Downe: JAZZY!
 

BOB DOWNE is back at Paddo RSL, celebrating the 25th anniversary tour of his ARIA-nominated comedy jazz album, JAZZY!

To mark the occasion, he’s recreating the entire album, live on stage with a hot jazz band and reuniting with his original guest Pastel Vespa - complete with fan fave songs including ‘YEH YEH’, ‘MACK THE KNIFE’,’ THAT’S LIFE’ and ‘FLY ME TO THE MOON.’

It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since the release of the Prince of Polyester’s ARIA-nominated live comedy jazz album, JAZZY! But let’s face it - Bob Downe isn’t getting any older!

Bob’s stage shows have played to acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, touring across Australia and the UK recently including Viva Bob Vegas on P&O Comedy Cruises and performing for the Queen at the Royal Variety Performance. Bob’s TV appearances range from Countdown to The Project, The Mike Walsh Show to Studio 10, and hosting multiple Sydney Mardi Gras broadcasts. As Mark he’s heard regularly on ABC local radio and presented The Way We Were, a ratings winner on ABCTV in 2004. He is also featured on Kath & Kim as ‘Darryl’ the menswear salesman.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
