The anticipated follow up to Danny Bhoy's 2007 debut DVD Live at The Opera House is Live at the Athenaeum, Melbourne's historic theare. The show promises more memorable tales from the globe-trotting Scotsman in his finest performance yet. As possibly the most travelled comedian in the world, he describes sometimes in painfully funny detail the less glamorous side of a comedian's life on the road. Tim Minchin's Ready For This? has enthralled audiences across Australia and around the world and is now available to own on DVD. The show contains new songs, new rants, a nine minute beat poem about a hippy, and just enough of his acclaimed Dark Side and So Rock stuff to keep the old fans from rioting. We've got five copies of each DVD to throw your way. To score send us your favourite joke.
with your name, phone number and address to see if you can pick up yourself a one of these.
