Here is an email I just sent to my local council about getting Comedy Bin a national tour. I don’t see how they could refuse.
Dear Marrickville Council,
I don’t know if you’re aware but Marrickville Council is in possession of a very exciting comic talent – perhaps the best Australia has ever seen.
I’m referring to an unassuming servant of the people, who has blossomed into an insightful and witty comedian.
May I present our neighbourhood’s very own Comedy Bin!

See!
Every few weeks the Comedy Bin has something new and fresh to say! Located near the shopping centre, this little guy is attracting a lot of attention. Ok, most of it is from me. But it is attention, none the less.
I’ve been thinking (see my previous post), I’m upset that this immense comic talent has such a limited audience. Currently, he is only visible to the locals that wander past with their groceries.
To that end, I would like to suggest Comedy Bin go on a national comedy tour!
Is that not the best idea you’ve ever heard?
Think of the revenue you’d make. Not just from ticket sales, but also merchandise. You could have t-shirts commemorating the tour with slogans like “I’m a trash bag!”, “I’m WASTEd!”, or “This comedian was rubbish!”
The tour has the full support of the community too. I asked two totally random citizens (my husband and my son) if they would pay good money to see a garbage bin live on stage.
My husband’s response of “What you talking about?” clearly belies his true excitement. And my one-year-old son said with wisdom beyond his years, “Bah bah bah bah bubba”.
You don’t get better endorsements than that!
So, I suppose the next step is to think of a name for the tour. Here are my ideas:
• It’s Bin Night!
• Trash Test Dummies
• Bigger than Bin-Hur
And my personal favorite…
• Osama Bin Laughin’
I reckon we should share the profits 50/50. I can promote the tour on my blog, and you could simply arrange transport, accommodation, venues, ticket sales, insurance, and promotion. That couldn’t be more than an afternoon’s work, I’m sure!
So, there is my proposal. I look forward to your response. Thank you!
Kind regards,
Ms FOAS
