BACKGROUND: I have been a comedian, broadcaster and entertainer for 25 years, now based in Sydney. While doing a journalistic cadetship on the Melbourne SUN NEWS-PICTORIAL (now the HERALD SUN), I started performing in a cabaret comedy group, THE GLOBOS (co-founded in 1980 with Wendy de Waal - check out the Globos Playlist here).
My character, BOB DOWNE, a spoof of nite club & lounge singers/ game show & daytime TV presenters, comes from Murwillumbah, NSW. Meanwhile, I was actually born 4 Feb 1959 in Melbourne. Confused? A lot of people are! Especially now that I'm presenting radio regularly on ABC 702 Sydney. You'll just have to keep up - I have to!

THE GLOBOS, a musical comedy cabaret group, was founded in Melbourne in 1980 by MARK TREVORROW and WENDY DE WAAL. The group mimed old records and commercials, in a loving and hilarious recreation of early Australian TV pop shows, and then recorded (and mimed!) their own material. They signed to Mushroom Records in 1982 and achieved two Australian Top 20 hits: TINTARELLA DI LUNA (1982) & THE BEAT GOES ON (1983). After establishing a cult following in hometown Melbourne, The Globos hit big at Sydney's legendary KINSELAS cabaret in 1982 and made many TV appearances. Along with Mark Trevorrow and Wendy de Waal, group members between 1980-1986 included JANE MARKEY, GABRIELLE HEALY, DAVID PLEDGER, KIM TRENGOVE, JANE TURNER, GRETA MENDOZA, TRACEY CALLANDER, ROBERT THOMPSON, JULIE BAILUE, NELL SCHOFIELD, ELEANOR PAYNE and the late TIM CONIGRAVE. GINA RILEY, KAARIN FAIRFAX, SIMON BURKE, ALAN WILSON, KATHRYN RIDING and GEORGE HUXLEY also made appearances with the group.

Happy Belated Easter, Mark! Still Easter here. Hope you had a great one, with lots of chocolate bunnies! Well, ok, not too many, I suppose, considering you're new role as the Oral spokesman. I mean, the Oral B spokesman! Yeah. that's what I meant! Lol! :))
