10 Quick Qs – Trav Nash: The Ageing Young Rebel (AUS)

1. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less:

Comedic Story Telling In the style of an unconscious rant.

2. On first dates, is there a lot of pressure to be funny?

I think more of a pressure to remember the show. It’s always a great trick to stay minutes ahead of what’s already come out of your mouth.

3. Why did you become a comedian?

I started in RAW Comedy way back in the golden era of 2001. Since then it’s been a love hate relationship with performing. Like a drug I can’t quit I keep coming back, until it ultimately destroys me.

4. Is heckling allowed?

No I can do with out it. Nobody wants to see a show on pause while we all have to wait for an audience member to be quite so others can listen to what they paid for. You don’t bring a drum kit to a punk rock show and try to drown out the act you came to see. That would be just silly.

5. What would you like named after you – a planet, stadium, street, city, a comedy festival or something else? And why?

A water slide! Because everyone likes cool water slides.

6. What do you want to be when you grow up?

A happy man.

7. Funniest youtube video you’ve ever seen?

Anything that has a cat with tiny hat on it! Those videos have killed my blues so many times.

8. Why would someone not come to see your show?

I’m assuming because they have no soul or are afraid to laugh.

9. You’re stranded on a deserted island… If you could teleport any person to be with you, who would it be? And why?

Jim Henson, so I can have the Muppet show when ever I wanted.

10. Besides your show, what’s your pick at the festival?

This Is Siberian Husky. These guys are brilliant, talented and down right lovely guys. You really need to check these guys out.
