Going PUNting

Ok, look. It was never our intention to create a pun-based show, but let's be honest, everybody loves them. Well, they certainly do over at comedy website The Pun, where Songs in the Sea, Major? rates a mention in the top 5 puntastic show titles. The joke-amotive? We are in good company.

And this review of our Adelaide season in theatre blog, Neandellus, is awash with nautical puns.

"worth shelling out for—toe-tapping neptunes from start to finnyfish—it’ll mermake your day—a clamn dever show performed with lots of safetyflare—make room in the seabed, you’ll have a marritime, foreshore."

Wow.

To be honest, though, my favourite pun of the past few weeks came from my favourite ride in Adelaide's Garden of Unearthly Delights - the chair-o-plane. Oh yes.

POLAR BEARINGS - NOW ON FACEBOOK!

In preparation for setting sail to Adelaide, Margaret and Stu have posted a FACEBOOK PAGE!

So why not go there and click 'attending'? Even if you're not going to be in Adelaide, it will make us look like we have lots of friends! And isn't that the point of facebook, after all?

And what's with people who click 'maybe attending'? Just click 'yes' and then make your mind up later! Seriously!

So get into the facebook spirit and write nice things on the 'comments' bit about how much you're looking forward to the show. Because if you scratch our cyber-back, we'll scratch yours.

MAN OVERBOARD!

TIM ROSS LOST AT SEA!Ok, maybe lost at sea is a bit of an exaggeration. But he has been offered a part in a film that is too good to pass up. So, Tim has walked the plank. And now, in the immortal words of The Lion King, 'our trio's down to two.'

But will that stop The Polar Bearings in their attempt to circumnavigate the globe? Hell no.

Catch Stu and Maggie as they dock in Adelaide for the Adelaide Fringe Festival (2nd - 14th of March), or when they anchor in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (27th of March - 7th of April).

Oh, yes, and Maggie's now on crutches. That should keep things interesting.
