So much commentary around this week about the King’s new portrait by Jonathan Yeo… this one, by the @washingtonpost’s @sebastian.smee, made me laugh out loud … “unaccountably frightening” 😂😂😂 (swipe for highlights)
Smee is the reason I subscribe to the Washington Post – and his Insta feed is a treasure trove of insight into beautiful and surprising works.
Personally, I reckon the painting’s colour scheme is an INCREDIBLY bold direction for a subject who once mused aloud upon his longing be a sanitary product. Maybe the whole thing is an epic troll by Big Tampax? Sorry, I made this high art discussion yucky didn’t I. As you were. But give the Smee a follow, ya won’t regret it.

The feeling of sheer delight when you turn up to your @briscomedyfest gig at the @bris_powerhouse and find that you’re sharing a stage with @nats_what_i_reckon … one of the funniest people on this landmass and also just a top shelf human in every way. He is on again tomorrow night at the Powerhouse then swinging through Queensland and NSW and WA (swipe for details) with his new show “Hot Dogs Probably Aren’t Real.” The Wa and Qld heavy elements make me wonder … Nat, are you running for PM? Would back you. Get along and fill ya boots anyway people.

Okay. I knew that Ann Patchett of @parnassusbooks would be a fun person to interview because like anyone who’s read her books and essays, I know that she is observant and smart and powered by decency. But wow. She really exhibited a turn of speed last night and interviewing her was like being on a very powerful motorbike, not always sure of who’s driving but not caring because the EXHILARATION is so intense. So many funny moments. Also I got heckled by my Dad from the audience … not a first for me, but a first for the @sydwritersfest audience and – I’m pretty confident – a first for Patchett. (I asked what it was that made her sure even from her early 20s that she didn’t want to have children and she paused for about TEN SECONDS and I thought oh god is she going to tell me to get knotted and then Dad yells “Ya don’t have to answer that” from the front row. Then she unspools just such a rousing, intimate, funny, scorching set of insights I could have, I don’t know, cheered or kissed her and anyway it was superb and thanks for your assistance Pop Crabb. He’s coming the Great Debate tonight at Town Hall too so stand by for more banana skins to be thrown in my oratorical path).
But also the best thing was sitting next to this fabulous visiting American writer and seeing her respond to the always smart and funny and optimistic Uncle Michael West welcoming us to Gadigal land. The spine chilling performance by @jazzmoney_______ whose poetry hit the note of our times; uncertainty, fear, powerlessness, yet unaccountably stained with hope we can’t wash out. Also, watching Ann Patchett witness an Arts minister @jgnswmlc declare that this state will not tolerate book banning in any circumstance. And then afterwards @jetlagmama materializes with her collection of biscuits she has iced as various Patchett book covers and my other friend @kristy_reads who named her cat after Ann. Ann: “Well I do know a person who named their dog Patchett, so now I have a dog AND a cat! Can a ferret be far away?”
Anyway … well, in dark times it felt like a good night. There are so many good things on at the festival – get along if you’re able to.

FINISHED! Last 50 Years Of Crabb show last night in Brisbane’s @bris_powerhouse … what a venue, and I nearly cried with delight when I walked in and found @caitlynkidney there running the tech. Kat is the greatest tech wizard I have worked with on this tour, she is like the Wolf in Pulp Fiction, can fix anything, never seen her drop her bundle… this is me actually attempting to kiss her during tech rehearsal… she is a roving genius who appears at various festivals and just makes shit work. I want to make her live in my house but I know this is a creepy instinct. Anyway, it’s all covered in Crabb’s Life Lesson #11 which is: Surround yourself with people who are smarter than you are. Swipe for the other smart people who have made this ridiculous enterprise easier and more fun – @glamgwenblake, who already has a full time job running a design company @boxerandco but also found the time to whip up and retail a teatowel account of my life … @jeremy.storer (pictured in background this man is HARD to photograph) who is the tour impresario and co-parent of the small impersonator and of course producer @laurenannhillman who runs a community TV station @44_adelaide in HER spare time but somehow managed to nurse me and my damaged voice through five cities and be the best company imaginable …. THANK YOU, I love yez all esp all those who came along ❤️

Crabb was riding solo this budget lockup! New ep out now
#chat10looks3 #podcast #federalbudget #budgetlockup
That’s a wrap on Crabb tour de force. 🎟️🎤🎪👑
6 months, 6 states, 18 shows. What an absolute honour and privilege to produce @annabelcrabb as part of the 50 Odd Years of Crabb comedy festival tour, including a new show for Adelaide Fringe. Annabel was outstanding and the ultimate professional despite having all the things thrown at her whilst juggling many other professional commitments.
Huge thanks to all the staff and crew at the:
*Pavilion Arts Theatre in the Sutherland Shire
*Adelaide Fringe Festival
*Canberra Comedy Festival
*Melbourne International Comedy Festival
*Perth Comedy Festival
*Sydney Comedy Festival
*Brisbane Comedy Festival
It’s also been wonderful to catch up with so many friends along the way but I wouldn’t have been able to do this huge tour (on top of my already full time job) without the support at home from @craigegan and the nanas @wendyannhillman and @valeriewhitehorn for all those sleepovers 🙏🏻 (so grateful ❤️)
Finally, enormous thanks to Annabel, @jeremy.storer and @glamgwenblake and @rah.gardiner for this incredible opportunity and all your support. What a ride. 💕
