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!
