Conversing with my nuts: Sofie Prints

100% Nuts: Do you remember the situation where you got your first laugh? If so, what was it? If not, describe the earliest situation where you can recall getting a laugh.

Sofie: I announced in Kindergarten, hands on hips, that I was a girl. I thought that they thought I was a boy because my voice was deeper than the other girls. They laughed and I learnt what embarrassment was.

100% Nuts: What's the best heckle you've received and how did you respond?

Sofie: I haven’t been heckled. I can’t wait till I am. I fantasise about shooting the heckler's friend and saying, “I’m sorry, did I break your concentration?” I just want to be as cool as Samuel L Jackson.

100% Nuts: What's the most disgusting habit you'd like to describe?

Sofie: Describing my disgusting habits and avoiding questions that may come back to hurt me.

100% Nuts: What's the most embarrassing memory you're comfortable sharing?

Sofie: Tucking my dress into the back of my undies and walking across a sports oval. Sometimes just because you think you're being paranoid, it doesn’t mean that people aren’t laughing at you. Now, when I hear snickers, I check.

100% Nuts: What's the most satisfying compliment you've received?

Sofie: All compliments are satisfying. The least satisfying was my great grandmother telling me I was growing into a handsome young man.

100% Nuts: What's the least enjoyable job you've held? How long did you stay in that position? Describe the worst day you've had there.

Sofie: I had a job selling gym memberships over the phone in a small room wall to wall with chain smokers. I stayed there for a week. It was difficult to breath. Smoking yourself was essential. The hardest day was a man saying, “I hope your haemorrhoids burst and you bleed to death.” I guess he wasn’t into fitness.

100% Nuts: Where else can we see you?

Sofie: Exford sometimes.

100% Nuts: Why comedy?

Sofie: I get to do all the talking.

100% Nuts: Do you have a favourite joke? If so, what is it? If not ... just pick a joke and say it's your favourite.

Sofie: Richard Stubbs-“If God didn’t want us to masturbate, he would have given us shorter arms.”

100% Nuts: Who are your comedy influences?

Sofie: Josie Long, Daniel Kitson, Lenny Bruce, Lilly Tomlin, Bill Hicks.

100% Nuts: Do you have a routine of preparation before taking the stage?

Sofie: No.

100% Nuts: Describe your worst gig ever.

Sofie: So far no bad ones.

[100-nuts]

You dropped a bomb on me... You'll have to see Sofie Prints on stage to understand that reference. If you do see her live, don't make the mistake of sitting next to a heckler because she's impartial to collateral damage. You can read about that in the upcoming Q&A 'Conversing with my nuts: Sofie Prints'. Sofie will be performing on the following dates:- 29th of March http://www.facebook.com/events/198954376871920/ 31st of http://www.facebook.com/events/165161673602486/ 1st of April http://www.facebook.com/events/395620097131328/ 5th of April http://www.facebook.com/events/100988266698609/ 12th of April http://www.facebook.com/events/278516845552549/ 14th of April http://www.facebook.com/events/321373074578831/ 15th of April http://www.facebook.com/events/280078345397317/ 19th of April http://www.facebook.com/events/354849441214600/ 21st of April http://www.facebook.com/events/195923300514093/ 22nd of April http://www.facebook.com/events/321651114551041/

Linus Lane and Rommeus Lane pose beside the show's poster. Hmmm, two nuts flanking a pole... seems kinda phallic, which would put the poster in the region of the taint. Thanks to the festival crew down at the Melbourne Town Hall for putting our poster where everyone can see it!

Conversing with my nuts: John Potter

100% Nuts: Do you remember the situation where you got your first laugh?

John: Three months after I started performing standup.

100% Nuts: What's the best heckle you've received and how did you respond?

John: The heckle was "Your face looks like a fox's bum!" and I responded by having Mum removed from the venue.

100% Nuts: What's the most disgusting habit you'd like to describe?

John: Probably collecting dog faeces. Oh, you mean my habits?

100% Nuts: What's the most embarrassing memory you're comfortable sharing?

John: I would say "Dad's sex talk" but he never gave me one. I'm should really remind him to tell me about it one of these days.

100% Nuts: What's the most satisfying compliment you've received?

John: "John is smart enough to find out about sex the way I did, the schoolyard." - Dad to Mum, 1999.

100% Nuts: What's the least enjoyable job you've held?

John: I worked at a suburban cafe that catered mostly to the elderly who could only taste "hot", "cold" and "frankfurt".

100% Nuts: Where else can we see you?

John: Naked in my bathroom if you stand on the roof of the house next door and angle your head properly. Also at my other comedy festival show, HEEPs Funny. [https://www.facebook.com/pages/HEEPs-Funny-MICF-2012/279966212045776]

100% Nuts: Why comedy?

John: Because I am an emotional cripple who longs for the acceptance of an audience.

100% Nuts: Do you have a favourite joke?

John: Clive Palmer

100% Nuts: Who are your comedy influences?

John: Clive Palmer, Ricky Nixon, my family, my dog.

100% Nuts: Do you have a routine of preparation before taking the stage?

John: Not really. It's not easy to take an entire stage - they're so large and usually attached to the floor - so I like to distract the audience by diverting their attention to the wall hangings, or perhaps a risque light fixture. Then, using power tools purchased from ALDI, I cut it up into little bits to make it easier to carry before escaping into the night.

100% Nuts: Describe your worst gig ever.

John: I did a gig in Bendigo. The guy who was supposed to go on first was late so I was thrust on stage in front of an angry audience who looked like they wanted to do nothing more than take me out the back and remove my head from my neck. They did not, however the gig was not a success although the hospitality was excellent even if the audience were puzzled by the concept of "jokes".

100% Nuts: Do you remember the situation where you got your first laugh? If so, what was it? If not, describe the earliest situation where you can recall getting a laugh.

Rommeus:

100% Nuts: What's the best heckle you've received and how did you respond?

Rommeus: Probably my first show at Baha Tacos when a guy said, "Tell a joke." My response was, "Shut up! I'm trying to."

100% Nuts: What's the most disgusting habit you'd like to describe?

Rommeus: Repositioning my junk in public.

100% Nuts: What's the least enjoyable job you've held? How long did you stay in that position? Describe the worst day you've had there.

100% Nuts: Where else can we see you?

Rommeus: Maybe something in fashion.

100% Nuts: Why comedy?

Rommeus: Because I like to make people happy.

100% Nuts: Do you have a favourite joke? If so, what is it? If not ... just pick a joke and say it's your favourite.

Rommeus: Well, fave joke from my set is the Harry Potter stuff. Fave joke would probably be, why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?... to get to the bottom.

100% Nuts: Who are your comedy influences?

Rommeus: Jerry Seinfeld, Carl Barron, Russell Peters, Arj Barker, Damian Snell. [Editor's note: *shucks*]
