I received this interview back from Murray on the 3rd of March 2001 by e-mail.
What's it like working with David Callan and John Knowles?
Bloody difficult, they always try to be funny when I'm trying to do shakespeare.
What's it like producing films that a large proportion of Australia's population have never heard of?
That's a bit rude they have heard of them if they watch the movie show or go to the local video store of get foxtel. Frankly it's very hard work, but you are right distribution in this country is very hard. My films have a bigger audience overseas. Canada and Italy, south americia.
What's the best thing about improv comedy?
The adralin rush of knowing you could fail any moment.
What's the worst compliment you've ever received?
That I was the uglest person in the world (Andrew Denton ABC TV Theatresports in the middle of a SCENE)
Do you prefer teaching or using improv skills?
Both use the same communication skills, only they are a different style of performance, not many student clap when you finish a sentance.
How many fingers am I holding up? (that question has been on my mind just about every interview I've written, but since you enjoy improv, I thought you could work with it)
None because you chew your nails.
Advertise your website in 25 words or less.
www comicrelief.com.au is a one stop shop for the impro activity that I do, theatre, corporate & training, all the bulrb is there.
I want to write a movie script with no starting point or idea whatsoever, what do you suggest?
Ask your self why?
What's your favourite improv game?
I don't have a favorite game. I prefer sketch style. If hard pressed any narrative based one.
How much spare time do you have and how do you like to spend it?
Are you trying to pick me up?
How did Perth treat you while you were here?
Funny that humans identify a city as an individual. I never met Perth, however I did get treated very well by some locals though. Had a ball, the Blue room theatre rocks!!
Thanks!
What was the best night of Cops on Heat during the Perth Comedy Season?
When my character the dectective Mahoney, got to play Blanche Dubar from a street car named desire.
The worst?
When we were too silly dumping on each other.
You have regular gigs around Sydney, do you want to give us more information about those?
check out the web site. Comedy Store at fox studios every thursday, coming up to its one year anniversary.
How did you feel when you found out you won the duck award for the Queen of comedy?
I blushed.
