Mickey was over in Europe when I conducted this interview with him through e-mail but still, he managed to get back to me very quickly. It was sent back to me within a day of me sending it to him - the 29th of July 2000.
What was it like being a walrus being rooted by a spider?
that takes much concentration, some people may need to call upon thier method acting skills for such an event, but I just draw upon my experience from the discovery channel. Sometimes the spider rubs my coxius bone, this makes me giggle like a schoolgirl.
However its an "in the moment" thing, the spider and my relationship doesnt stem any further (sexually) from there.
How did you feel when you found out it was my table you stood on to do that?
fine.
Im just glad i didnt fall on you. I fell off once during a UNI gig and landed in somebodys meat pie
What is it like to be a comedian from Adelaide?

The crouds are quite responsive and enjoy it when we improv.

Nervous, in a pumped up kind of "Gggggggrrrrrr" nervous.

What was it like working with Bridget Daley, Kirk McKenzie and Adam Rozenbachs?
Bridget is great, rarley do you see her without a smile, she in very constructive and cooperative.
Kirk was very laid back and relaxed, his gear was on the money throughout the festival
Adam was very consistent for the whole festival and helped with new ideas and feedback
I felt a little strange, giving people who are up to 8 years older than me advice and pointers, but i think we worked well together
Are you enjoying touring the world at the moment?

Lets try some obscure questions now, did you ever eat your toe jam as a child?
No, but I would hunt out my own ear wax and study it under a magnifying glass. I would wonder how it got in there, and philosiphise over just what exactly was ear wax?
The truth was out there
How about the sleep from the corner of your eyes?
no I hear its too salty.
What was the weirdest thing you did as a kid?

Is there anything else you'd like to say?
