JVJ is lucky he got a role at all with 24,601 actors competing for four parts!

Should really give some props to @bennetkav for pioneering the Les Mis Prologue Parody genre.

It’s @melbfringe time!! I went through the book and found all the folks I know who’re doing shows. Sorry if I missed you out somehow! I’m in the middle of eating my breakfast and enjoying the third chapter of Dungeon Crawler Carl’s second book. Anyway these artists are all great and worth going to see, including me and @tamaraisfunny of course! So please check the link in my bio for that.

It's a new BONUS episode with Tamara Absalom and Dan Hough!

Their split bill is about to premiere at Melbourne Fringe. I pick their brain about the journey so far and what's going through their mind days away from show time.
