Jared Jekyll is debuting at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year with his show Loony Bin. Here is a clip promoting his show, directed by Jeremy Belinfante. (If I were honest, I'd admit I thought they were the same guy to begin with. In fact, I'm not entirely convinced they're not.)
As it happens, I'm doing a Festival show too. Here is the poster frommy show, which I will tell you all about later.
I had Nazeem Hussain and Aamer Rahman of Fear of a Brown Planet in on Saturday, and DeAnne Smith on Sunday, as my Stand-Up Sit-Down guests.
I'm technically probably not allowed to tell you who I have in on Tuesday. But here's a clue: it's Sammy J. Find out more about the show (the wheres and whens, etc) and buy tickets at the door, or prebook.
May I just say that despite lack of evidence of regular posts here, please be reassured I am alive and well and doing a Melbourne International Comedy Festival show called Stand-Up Sit-Down, where I get up close and personal with a bunch of awesome comedians. Here's the list, where you can also buy tickets. What? You couldn't possibly leave this page and check it out? Okay. Here's the list:

Seriously. Come hang out with Dom ânâ Tom tonight!
I will keep blogging, but mostly as a kind of festival diary for the show. And only when not flyering, seeing showsâ¦
Meanwhile, come see the show.
And failing that, support it through my Pozible campaign. Pledge a small amount, it all helps to contribute to what, in Fiona O'Loughlin's words, is "a fine tradition that has begun!!!!!"
The idea for Stand-Up Sit-Down, my Melbourne International Comedy Festival show this year, belongs to Fiona OâLoughlin.
She was headlining at Happy Endings Comedy Club one weird Saturday when she spotted me in the second row and asked the audience how theyâd feel about my interviewing herâ¦
