Can someone hear a fat lady singing...?

Sat, 21 Apr 2012 05:21:00 GMT

And so the comedy festival is over for another year and I search deep into my pockets and discover I didn't make a dime. Lucky I am in brilliant company with a gazillion other comics who fared the same. Sigh...anyhoo, onward and upward and now I look forward to forking out more big bucks for taking part in the Fringe later in the year. Come on Fringe!!

Bye Comfest....

TRULY INSPIRATIONAL

O’Loughlin is a force to be reckoned with. She is responsive to her audience with impeccable timing. Her act is full of personal and honest insights that we can all relate to no matter what walk of life, level of education or status. No one is immune to her charms. She is wickedly cheeky with delightful impersonations. Her character and voice changes are flawless and conjure up highly entertaining visual images. Book her to make your next seminar or conference a very memorable success.

Loving February and March

Tue, 13 Mar 2012 04:06:00 GMT

What an ace time I have had of it of late. Loved seeing everyone go spare at Comedy at the Clare with Bobby and all the gang. Loved being part of International Women's Day at the Kingston Council Event. Loving popping over to Adelaide to perform as part of Titters and then coming back to Melbourne for Girls Night, Here Come the Girls and Titters again. WOO HOOO.

Dirty Diana Does Doncaster

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 03:56:00 GMT

Wow. That was some of the best fun you could ever have in polyester hair. Just finished a short run of "Wherefore Are Thee?" as part of PEP Productions - Act Up - season at the Doncaster Theatre. Playing the wonderfully evil Diana was delightful and much appreciation goes to the marvellous writing talents of Mark C Bourne, the directing talents of Joel Bathala, and all the techie wonders of Trish and Les and co. In particular I need to thank my long suffering husband Grant who helped me do lines without using a credit card or any form of snorting technique. Thanks darls. xxx

Busy, busy, busy

Wed, 18 Jan 2012 05:12:00 GMT

I am so thrilled to be involved with all manner of deserving folks in this coming year. I have lots of speaking engagements whereby I will be chatting to Women's Groups, Allied Health Professionals and Uni students...to name but a few. I am truly chuffed!!!

I will have to iron a shirt.

Oh, I will still be doing some fart gags in between.

Busy, busy, busy....just the way I like it. (More work means more shoes after all!)

EMILY THE THESPIAN

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:28:00 GMT

And so I went for the audition of the awful Diana in "Wherefore are thee" as part of PEP Productions new 2012 season...and guess what...I was awful enough to get the role.

Keep your eyes peeled for dates and come to see this wonderful piece written by Mark C Bourne, starring Diana the nasty, bitter, old 'thespian' who is too awful for words!

PRE-CHRISTMAS....eeek.

Mon, 28 Nov 2011 03:46:00 GMT

I'd like to say that I am stressing out pre-christmas...but actually...I aint. The stressiest bit for me is putting together a pic-nic basket and making sure the champagne flutes are polished. As someone who is going to breeze through the silly season I am sending out waves of calm blue oceans. Have a lovely time and much joy in this holiday season. XXX

EM O'LOUGHLIN COMES OUT OF THE PANTRY

Tue, 18 Oct 2011 01:53:00 GMT

So there have been other famous O'Loughlin's who have come out of various places. Fiona came out of the liquor cabinet, you go girl. So Em has decided to come out of the pantry and talk about her battle with cream buns (yeah, a real bun fight) and her battle with having bariatric surgery to save her bum....(a bum fight!). Stay tuned for more on this breaking news.

SHORT AND SWEET

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:04:00 GMT

...and so I have been accepted to take part in the fabulous SHORT AND SWEET Festival that will be running from the end of October at Chapel of Chapel here in sunny Melbourne....ten minute cabaret performances. http://www.shortandsweet.org/shortsweet-cabaret Come along and get some short and sweet love!

LETS GET SERIOUS

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 06:28:00 GMT

And so now that I am back from the big Apple...it has got me thinking about food. You know what I would be good at? This:

PRESENTER AND MOTIVATOR: As a presenter I am currently working on a collaborative program with surgeons and medical professionals regarding obesity. I can humanize the difficulties of overcoming obesity and talk about hope. My presentation condenses 35 years into 35 minutes and is an excellent motivational presentation. I am a living breathing success story who has the ‘golden’ touch of humour. What I offer is experience; a map of what has bought people to a low point and what could lie ahead.

EXOTIC EYEBAGS

Fri, 02 Sep 2011 02:43:00 GMT

And so I have returned filled with vim and vigour and with eyebags the size of an old ladies boobs...just a droopy. Ah, jet lag you are a cruel mistress.

NYC is the most fantastic, wonderful, hideous, lovely, dangerous, funny, scary, place. Lots of New Yorkers liked me....have a look at my reviews.

Oh, to be in my twenties and cashed up, I would move there tomorrow. I am unfortunately just out of my twenties (ahem) and only gently coined up. Happy to be home in boring old Melbourne suburbia....it is kinda nice.

XXX to Broadway.

....and so how does a girl get noticed in NYC?

Thu, 04 Aug 2011 03:57:00 GMT

I think that is easy. What you do is you dress your husband up in the same costume as you....teach him how to play New York New York on the melodica (that piano that you blow into) and then go out to the streets of New York and ham it up. Well.....that's the plan. Wish us luck! And then come and see us as part of the NYC Fringe August 2011. See all the details here:
