00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: wearing less than ever. The audience has aretten for a

23
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: real street there. But then we've got Dale Woodbridge Brown,

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 3: the Camillroy cowboy. We've got whips, we've got chains, we've

27
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 3: tell you about. Yeah, we found people who've made their

28
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: careers in it, and we're bringing them here more flesh,

29
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: big music, live rock.

30
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: Band and me something for everyone.

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: I know, bring your pharmaceuticals and have a great time.

32
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: Absolutely, Hey, Ruben, what is the best thing about feedback

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 4: from all audience that you get? What is it? Is

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: someone having a bit of fun giving you a little

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: bit of a heckle, or is it love?

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: What is it? Do you know? What people have come

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 3: to the k Hole, the show, not the actual Kale,

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: and what they've loved most about it is this raging,

39
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: amped up party atmosphere. But yet at the same time

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: they feel completely safe in it. Yes, sometimes those really

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: amped up environments can get a little dicey, But in ours,

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: I think it's the family connection that we all have

43
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: because I call it out straight away, I call the

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: audience family and from that moment on, there's so much

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: love in the room and so much respect, and yet

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 3: we can all acknowledge all the things that are you know,

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 3: that are making us angry, that are wrong with the world,

48
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: and we can really unify in that and find that weird,

49
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: interesting and exciting bridge between like celebration and protest and

50
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: expression and just letting your head and having a great

51
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: time and letting it all go and leaving it at

52
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: the door.

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 1: We hear the term, can we hear the term spiegel

54
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: tent a bit? I must admit I'd never heard of

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: it until it first came to Fringe years ago. You're

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: in the Aurora spiegel ted. Spiegel ted is Dutch for

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 1: mirror tent. I believe due to the handmade architecture of wood, mirrors,

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: canvas and let glass with in detailing and veils, very lush,

59
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: very rich. Do you find being in that ads something

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: an extra dimension?

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: The only way I can climbax is if I'm staring

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: at my own reflection, So you go, I really do

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: need it. But I am always worried at Perth Fringe,

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: like I'm a homosexual dress in polyester. Do I need

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: to be in a wooden tent.

66
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: Risk time? Yeah, that's right, live keep a distance from

67
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: the fiber, ever.

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 3: But also there's something about the tents, right, they're old

69
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: school circus tents. They've been having this art form in

70
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 3: them for hundreds of years. So when you walk in,

71
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: you're right where that art form is born to be.

72
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: And that's really exciting.

73
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and remen having walked around Fringe and around the

74
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: Pleasure Garden and the log run through Northbridge and that

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: on Friday night, the Pleasure Garden looking better than ever.

76
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 4: And it's one of the great names for a garden too.

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: What a venue.

78
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just fantastic. I started it in Perfue.

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: My first solo show was in Perth Fringe in I

80
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: think twenty seventeen, and from then on I was I

81
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: was hooked. Yeah, you know, I'm not just there for

82
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: the five Fi workers. I'm there. I'm there for the

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: pleasure Gardens.

84
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 4: You you're the one flying in and out.

85
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: We just mentioned polyester and flames.

86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: Is it true that you once set fire to yourself

87
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: and somewhere else?

88
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: We're not talking about that now, not not not on

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:34,480

Speaker 3: show and when I was working as a bartender. I

00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: got that. I was I was dismissed from quite quickly.

94
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: So I will say I'm doing the thing I was

95
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 3: meant to do. Now you are.

Speaker 2: So excited.

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,440

Speaker 3: words Jesus Christ. We would have thought it.

103
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,800

104
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I love musical theater, and this would have

105
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: been the first piece of musical theater I ever saw.

106
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,920

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: class many many, many many moons ago, and I fell

108
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: in love with the show. And you're playing Herod, who

109
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: has one of the greatest songs in the whole show.

110
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,800

116
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 4: I can't say now.

117
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: All right.

118
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: Through, imagine a school excursion going to see the k Hole.

119
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: Look I'm my worry, my great fear one day is

120
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: that some lovely school group or group of senior citizens

121
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 3: are going to try and book for the Jesus Christ

122
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 3: Superstar matinee and come into the K Hole and oh,

123
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,719

Speaker 4: A lot, yes, very quickly.

125
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: It's an interesting crossover, though, I must say in the Temple,

126
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

127
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: I kind of really love it. I think the producers

128
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 3: of Jesus Christ Superstar.

129
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: There's something to it.

130
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's something really genius. I mean the casting of

131
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ Superstar, this production of it is insane factast.

132
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: We'll talk about it later.

133
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
