Comedy anyone?

On Wednesday night i strolled down to Loop Bar on Meyers st in the city and caught this show. Hayley Fox and Sean Ryan, two local Melbourne comedians have put together an hilarious act to showcase and contrast each of their considerably individual styles of comedy. Sean, whom i have seen perform once before has come a long way very quickly in his stand up career and is really worth seeing live any chance you get. In the last act the two take stage together performing witty back and forth banter that left me in stitches.

The Melbourne international comedy festival is one of the biggest events of the year, hosting hundreds of big name acts from all over the world. In my experience however it is the little acts in the bars you've never heard of that stand out the most and make the festival such a success.

If you keen to catch some comedy while your in Melbourne, "one of these things is not like the other" is one show to keep in mind.

Cheeky wine tasting?

This Wednesday and the first Wednesday of every month there is a wine tasting night down at federation square on Flinders st. It's been a bit of a hit in the past so we thought we would head down and see what we can see.

Now, a wine tasting might sound like a bit of a fancy/pricey night out in the city but remember this is a surf club so with a little translation "wine tasting" very quickly become "all you can drink for $25."

It starts at 4:30 in the arvo and finishes up around 8:30 pm. Look forward to seeing you all there!

cheers, Pat.

The famous bells beach is set to host the best 34 surfers in the world as they battle it out for world title rankings for the 50th time this year starting april 19, making the Rip Curl Pro the longest running tour event ever! There are a few of us already planning to head down to see some of the action in the water so we thought we would put a shout out to any surfer boys and girls keen to be there to witness the next big event on the world tour calendar?

V/line trains and buses can get you to the event and entry is $8 per day ($5 for concession) parking is $2 or you can get a $25 pass for the whole event (worth it if you want to stay for the finals!)
if history is anything to go by bring some warm clothes as easter at bells can get pretty chilly!

cheers, pat.
