I worked with Derek two years ago as we entertained in the corporate suites of Orrcon at V8 races around Australia. He is a lovely guy and I am thrilled that he is the face of the TV show Gladiators. He is also a very good speaker and he has spoken about his battle with Diabetes.

I will be performing a show at the Diabetes Australia gala dinner “The Buzz Ball” at the Parkside Ballroom, Sydney Convention Centre. 26 July 2008. Tickets are $185. I am told that it is a masquerade themed night so it should be alot of fun. For further information, see http://www.diabetesnsw.com.au/homepage.asp
Just back from my show in Singapore. I brought to ‘life on canvas’ the F1 Williams car and lead driver Nico Rosberg. My original idea was to have fire streaming out of where I painted the exhaust on the car timed with the sounds of the engine starting, but the Singapore National Museum didn’t like the idea of fire (and I even went and bought a portable flame thrower too!). So I used confetti during the show instead.
It was interesting to see how things differ at events from Australia to Asian countries. Some of the other entertainment they had:
- Flair Bartenders
- Girls dressed in F1 suits on rollerblades
- Photographers that shot ‘live’ - ie. they took a photo and it appeared on the numerous plasma screens around the venue.
Overall it was a great experience and having taken some interest in my entertainment recently from other Asian countries (as well as Dubai and Romania!) maybe I can soon report on some other travel adventures.
