Goodies stage show rumours
21/11/2004 00:00 GMT

Posted by lisa

Rumours about a Goodies stage show in Australia have started to spread due to information from Visa Preferred Seating. Visa's website and latest newsletter (which some fans received via email) say, "See your old favourites, Tim, Bill and Graeme live on stage reliving your favourite Goodies moments. Whether it be the famous 'eppy thump' (sic) or the one about Kung Fu Kapers - you can't miss this show. To waitlist for this show, register now!"

We checked with The Goodies, who could only tell us that a show has been proposed but nothing has been decided yet. If it does happen, it is likely to be in Australia in early March. We've been promised an update when there is further news.
... and stay tuned for news about a possible special Goodies fan club event to be held in Sydney early next year (plans are in the pipeline) ....

Lisa What can we do to convince them? It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'm pretty sure they would have a sell out tour!		Posted by:smcclurg

This rumour about a Goodies stage show in Australia could very well be true within the next few days. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, we are looking for Goodies images that we can use in marketing - does anyone know where we can get some decent ones? Also, we're keen to talk to the Australian Fan Club but can't seem to locate them anywhere. If anyone has any information on how I can contact them, please let me know. Cheers L		Posted by:Larney

Thought I'd better put this up - official press release - The Goodies … British Comedy Legends Go LIVE in Australia! ….Tim, Bill and Graeme live up to their catchphrase “We go anywhere anytime!” Legendary British comedy trio The Goodies will appear live in their first ever touring stage show at Sydney's Big Laugh Comedy Festival in March 2005. The most-loved and prolific of all the UK’s great comedians, The Goodies - Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke Taylor, and Graeme Garden – are creating a live show which will have its world premiere at The Big Laugh 2005. The Goodies will open the Big Laugh Comedy Festival at the Riverside Theatres at Parramatta on March 3, and at State Theatre on March 4 and 5, and will also play in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane. Their show will be a heady and hilarious mix of insights and reminiscences, sketches and clips with tall tales, audience talkback and possibly explosions. It will include Goodies bits banned by ABC TV, The Funky Gibbon sung live, sketches from the student revue that took Tim, Bill and Graeme to Broadway (and New Zealand - but never Australia), on-stage trandem riding (subject to insurance) and Tim’s Union Jack waistcoat. There will be a Goodies question time and the Goodies will sign programs at every show. Big Laugh Comedy festival director John Pinder spent five months luring the members of The Goodies into the show. “This is a real comedy coup,” Pinder said. “The Goodies are British comedy royalty. I’ve always been a fan – and I’m definitely not alone. I asked literally hundreds of people which legendary comedy artists they would like to see and The Goodies topped the list, particularly with the 30-somethings who religiously watched their shows five nights a week on the ABC.” Pinder had been talking with The Goodies for several months when figures for the first Goodies BBC DVD were released – showing a massive 50,000 had been sold in Australia. “It was then I knew I was onto a good idea,” Pinder says. The Goodies started out together at Footlights, The Cambridge University revue club, touring with the Cambridge Circus comedy revue. They have writing and performing credits that include the cream of UK comedy from the 60s to the present. The Goodies BBC television program – which ran for an astonishing178 episodes - started out with a traditional sit-com element, but evolved quickly into a joyous, unrestrained, lightly satirical festival of visual humour with special effects, explosions, giant props, camera tricks and violent slapstick. In the world of British humour dominated by verbal dexterity, The Goodies were classic visual comedians. The Goodies ran for over a decade before they called it a day in 1981, creating an unprecedented library of shows. The Goodies twice won the Montreux Silver Rose and made guest appearances on every major British tv show including the legendary first Amnesty benefit show A Poke In The Eye With a Sharp Stick. A second BBC DVD and a new range of merchandise will be released by BBC Worldwide to coincide with their live shows in Australia in March 2005. Tim Brooke-Taylor and Graeme Garden currently present Beat The Nation, one of the UK's most original television quiz shows, on Channel 4, and are panelists on the long-running radio show I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. Bill Oddie has been called 'Britain's best-known bird-watcher' and in recent years has presented a number of bird or general wildlife programs including Bill Oddie Goes Wild and three series of Birding with Bill Oddie. The Goodies will perform in Sydney on March 3, 4 and 5; in Melbourne on March 8; in Canberra on March 10 and in Brisbane on March 11. Tickets to The Goodies Live go on sale on December 13, through Ticketek (www.ticketek.com.au, ph: 02 9266 4800) and the Riverside Theatres (www.riversideparramatta.com.au, ph: 02 8839 3399).
