Corndale: No sod outside Northern New South Wales seem to know where it is... its not on the map we had and directions were provided by one Jonathan Atherton who is one of the founding organisers of the Corndale Community Hall Comedy gig. Along with CJ, and other Corndale townsfolk, they organised the first gig nearly eleven years ago and run it twice yearly. This was gig number 21. When Jonathan asked me to do it this gig nearly three months ago - I jumped at the chance - not because it was a paid gig but because Jonathan asked! This man is an amazing comedian - he's quicker with words than Muhammed Ali was with his fists... Watching him in action is always awe inspiring. Kerrin, myself, 'Hollywood' Brett Shergold, Darren Brinkworth and James O'Connell made the trip down to Northern NSW in a tarago and stopped off in Byron Bay for lunch before making our way to CJ and Pat's place in Corndale... The gig @ the Community Hall was like nothing else I'd ever played - Also on the bill was Chris Radburn and Jenny Wynter who was fresh from her triumph as RAW Triple 'J' runner up!
