We’re Funny Too! The comedy scene in the minuscule land of Australia. © Jackie Loeb 2009Firstly readers, I hope you’re admiring my airbrushed photo-shopped image from 3 years ago. I wanted to look my devastatingly fakest for my inaugural article. Eventually my weekly contribution to SlapStik will delve into the world of comedy in my homeland of Australia. Perhaps you’ve heard Australia been bastardised or misrepresented over the years? I intend to keep this wonderful tradition alive and well. Maybe our mutual affection for one another’s respective countries compelled you to throw another toxic, overfished ‘shrimp’ on the carcinogenic germ infested ‘barbie’. What ever your perception and feelings for us are, we love you and thank you for taking an interest in Australia and her (It’s a girl…I’ve checked!) lively and wonderful comedy scene.
