Hi podsters, it's Gatesy. Bob Franklin and I have come up with a strange little show for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival called Stubborn Monkey Disorder. We may/may-not-have-been approached by a real/made-up pharmaceutical company to devise a show on their behalf. And well- there are no easy answers; only hard chairs.

Below is a message from the sponsor. We didn't really want to do a press release but they insisted and hey, they are paying the bills so..

Feeling strange? In the daily midnight-miasma of Shittlebricks™, Facepanic™, and Stabbydarkdark™, it might be a relief to hear that you're not alone.

Here at Weasel Pharmaceuticals, our scientists are working hard to help you keep on top of things. Henry Ward Beecher once said: Mirth is God's best medicine.' For those of you who fail to see the relevance of Harry W Beecher in these modern times don't worry; we have a treatment taylor-made to suit your specific belief system. Our message is clear; we know what's wrong with you. And we know what you stand to gain at this years Comedy Festival as we embark on a brave new marketing strategy; not to mention free trial-grade samples!

In our noble pursuit to educate and heal, we feel that we have assembled the perfect team. Award-winning horror writer and legendary comedian, Bob Franklin, has teamed up with Steven Gates, the generic-looking one from Tripod, to become our new spokesmen for a new era.

Note to the media: All rumours of in-fighting, substance abuse, content disputes and personnel disappearances are completely unfounded and at odds with the image normally projected by Weasel Pharmaceauticals.

See you all at the festival!
