|
The Melbourne International Comedy Festival is a major event each year in Australia – and for the comedy [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr]doudoune moncler homme[/url] world at large. And of course all eyes are on the nominees for the big award, the “Barry” – but [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr]doudoune moncler[/url] that’s not the only valuable prize…
Each winner is expected to bite into the trophy, in order to leave tooth marks (and theoretically, their DNA!) for posterity. The trophy is handed down from winner to winner, except when it’s lost or taken back to another country, when sometimes it’s reproduced in a private [url=http://www.gotprintsigns.com/monclerpascher/]moncler[/url] ceremony [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] – the details of which [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/moncler.php]moncler outlet[/url] are not open to outsiders…
When comedians gather at the bar after a night at the festival, they may talk about audiences or about promoters or about venues, but mostly they talk about each other’s new shows! Who’s doing something new, interesting, crazy or just jaw-droppingly hilarious. Whose shows [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]www.achbanker.com/home.php[/url] are must-sees. Sometimes the most talented people don’t get [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] the recognition they deserve (much less movie and TV roles) because they’re just too new and different, too groundbreaking or edgy for the mainstream.
Ben is a longtime friend and fan of comedy. He learned about this award from its first recipients Miss Itchy, and is gathering information to contribute to the Piece of Wood Award homepage
Being a Wood winner means that you have done more than just deliver a crowd-pleasing performance – you’ve gone above and beyond the ordinary, the expected. You’ve pushed the boundaries and changed the rules. You’ve topped [url=http://www.maximoupgrade.com/hot.php]hollister france[/url] yourself and wowed your peers. Or maybe you’ve just gone totally ’round the bend, if you’re the [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] sort of person who does that without killing anybody!
Launched in 1998 by renowned Melbourne comedian Greg Fleet, the [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] Piece of Wood was simply a stray length of two-by-four grabbed from the floor of a backstage kitchen in an impromptu ceremony to honour Miss Itchy, a bizarre duo whose act that year had blown the proverbial roof off the room (and who ended up winning the inaugural Barry Award as well)
One thing is for sure – you can find lots of ordinary which are given out for lots of boring reasons that don’t always have to do with quality. But if you want to know which [url=http://www.mquin.com/giuseppezanotti.php]giuseppe zanotti pas cher[/url] comics impress other comics (who have impressed other comics in their turn!), look no further than the Wood of Joy!
I think all artists are frustrated by the often confusing way that the industry hands out credit and fame. But sometimes they take matters into their own hands… such is the case with the Piece of Wood Award!
As unusual a name for a trophy as I’ve heard, the “Wood of Joy” has become a tradition in Melbourne. Each winner is voted upon by the past winners, and the list includes luminaries and legends of the industry such as Stewart Lee and Simon Munnery, famous names like Rich Fulcher [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] and Charlie Pickering, and lesser-known worthies like Andy Zaltzman and Sam Simmons.
