Big shout out to the crew at Hobart Twilight Market. They put on a such a nicely-curated family-friendly event each week, with live music and yummy food and drink, every Friday from 4:30. I’m usually there busking with my balloons. You can check their page for the location and weather cancellations. See you there!

That’s it for markets until after Christmas🎄Thanks for your support🙏______________________________________________


The market operates on selected Fridays at two locations. Refer to the website for all the details www.hobarttwilightmarket.com.au

This guy was a special request, a one-off gift. I forget his name. I really should post pics of stuff I make more often…

I made this for his wife (so they would match) but he took it and walked all around the market pranking people like this. 🤣

A huge THANK YOU to Channel Court for hosting my silly magic show last weekend... at their SUPER COOL kids' courtyard that's full of fun toys (which, the kids told me, are changing all the time) and surrounded by comfy benches and bean bags for adults. I was thoroughly impressed.

Hey, here's a fun opportunity for people who would like 15 seconds of fame as the voice of an animal (in my Yoga Adventure this weekend at Pangaea Festival lutruwita/Tasmania)! I'm recruiting (today!) for: -A gruff Tasmanian Devil -An oddball mother platypus -A playful dolphin -an assertive Masked Lapwing -A wise Wedge-Tailed Eagle -A yarning Red Handfish -A mourning Tawny Frogmouth -An annoyed Fairy Penguin -A defensive Cup-Moth Caterpillar ... and more! Text me today and I'll send you a short script. I'll need you to record your voice as you read it (I can suggest an app if you need) and send it back to me. Thanks to anyone who would like to participate!

Through movement, sound, and storytelling we'll dive deep into the habitats and lives of the creatures of Tasmania, seeking wisdom and understanding. 🐸🐧🐾🧘‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️🎼🐋🕷 Kudos to Pangaea Festival lutruwita/Tasmania for funding me to create a novel, educational, and (I hope) fun and exciting experience for the kids!

Triboulet was a jester who is perhaps most famous for slapping King Louis XII on the butt.

This act angered the king and he threatened to have Triboulet executed. After taking a moment to calm down, the king decided to spare Triboulet’s life, IF he could think of an apology that was MORE OFFENSIVE than what he had just done to the king.

Triboulet: “I’m so sorry, your majesty, that I didn’t recognise you! I mistook you for the Queen!”

Triboulet’s response, while clever and indeed more offensive, broke a law against anyone making fun of the queen. The king decided to proceed with the ex*****on, but allowed Triboulet to choose how he would die.

Triboulet: “Good sire, for Saint Nitouche’s and Saint Pansard’s sake, patrons of insanity, I choose to die from old age.”
