'It was twenty years ago today...' BOB DOWNE (the comic creation of Mark Trevorrow) went to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time in 1988, where he made an instant hit with live audiences. He soon joined Gerry Connolly and Doug Tremlett in TWO UP, part of the OZNOST group of Aussie comedy shows at the Assembly Rooms. Bob's first UK television appearance was on Scottish TV's FESTIVAL 88 highlights program, where he sang (and played!) BEING BEIGE - his version of 'Being Green' - appropriately enough at the Edinburgh Sheraton!
