Office Blog
I write health and feature stories for CLEO, so I’m the most likely person in the office to be trialling obscure exercise programs with names like “Endurance Hula Hooping!” or “Ninjutsu for Triceps!” Recently, I went to the beach at dawn to do head-stand-heavy yoga for the launch of a personal training company. The early start was cruel, but the head rush in the sunshine was pleasant. My friends would describe me as, “Hysterical, yet sophisticated”. I would agree with them.

“Last Comic Standing” is like American Idol for comedians – the funniest people in The States get put in a house together and have to fight it out armed only with the sharpest of wits.
Alonzo BoddenAlonzo Bodden won in 2004, and after seeing his first ever Australian show the other night, my stomach and cheek muscles feel like they’re going to fall off. In fact, I think my face may have changed shape. Alonzo will make you contort with laughter to the value of several gym workouts, and give you jokes to tell at the pub for weeks.
“Sarah Palin is like Paris Hilton: hot, dumb and everywhere,” was the first one I repeated, but I will try to pass off many more of his witticisms as my own. Alonzo’s live comedy material is edgy, political and whip smart – watch some of his suited-up clips on youtube and then imagine him in a cap and t-shirt, hot arms tatts on display, minus the editing of mainstream TV producers.
He’s in Sydney until April 17. Miss his show at your intellectual peril.
