18.01.2022 We had so much fun turning hundreds of children into carrots and wombats when we facepainted for gold coins at Diary of a Wombat! Were thrilled to donate all the coins to our show-day partners Native Arc, the native animal rehabilitation centre in Bibra Lake. $208 will contribute towards caring for 3000 injured, sick or orphaned native wildlife each year. You can support them too at http://www.nativearc.org.au/

17.01.2022 Following a UK tour, a sold-out run in London and two critically-acclaimed West End runs David Baddiel brings his Olivier-nominated one-man stage show My Family...: Not The Sitcom to @perthoctagon on Monday 17 September! The show has been described as brave, brutal and brilliant (Graham Norton), absolutely beautiful (Hugh Laurie) and deeply personal, hilarious and touching in equal measure (Bill Bailey). My Family: Not the Sitcom is about memory, ageing, infidelity, dysfunctional relatives, moral policing on social media, golf, and gay cats. A massively disrespectful celebration of the lives of David Baddiels late sex-mad mother Sarah, and dementia-ridden father, Colin. Come and be offended on Davids behalf! at http://www.ticketswa.com/event/david-baddiel
