hundred and seventy performances across Saturday and Sunday, spanning music, dance,

Fun and Funnier, fronted by comedian Karen O'Leary and A
(00:35):

a dad and teacher? I didn't say that. That's what
I've been told both.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah, and also it's fun and funner.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It's just it's like dumb and dumber, but fun and funner.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
But then it sounds like it should be fun and funnier.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Well, this will get funnier and funny as we go along.
That's a good thing about it.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Well, I hope. So we haven't got Karen Larry in
the studio to tell serious stories, have we?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
I've got a couple though, have you?
Speaker 5 (01:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Serious?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
You're going to risk me? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I might, depends what you're doing. I've lost you.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You got me and Ilish what Wilson Morning, Irish Morning.
I love the sex by the way, thank you. I
think sex players are so cool. I love sex players.
So I don't mean that in any way else but
like the musical.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Are you hitting on my partner?
Speaker 6 (01:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
No, no, I just said I. I did not want
to get arrested. I want to get through the show
and go home and have lunch. So it wasn't that.
I mean I like sex something. There's something cool about
a sex players.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
It's very cool and quite sixy about sexy.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
You said that, not me, so don't get me in trouble.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I would never do that.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Nick.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
No, no, you're trying trying hard. Right, Let's talk about
let's talk about Cuba duper Yeah. Karen will start with you.
Why is it so cool? Why is it so successful?
And why are you doing the show?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I think you do It isn't an amazing example of
what brings what makes Wellington Wellington. So it's bringing lots
of people together. It's diverse, it's inclusive, it's a fun time,
it's music, it's art, it's people just you know, coming together,
and it has a real community feel. And I think
you have a really, really bloody good time at Cuban Duoper.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So why wouldn't you want.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
To go there? And why fun and funny?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Fun and funner?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Funner?
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Why fun and funner?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Why fun having funnier and funnier?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah? Why fun and fun are going to play there?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well? Because we love Cuba Dooper And obviously we've got
approached as well by Orchestra Wellington and we've worked with
them in the past. We did a show at Michael
Fowler Center. And the fact that we get to play
our hilariously ridiculous children's songs with an actual orchestra, you
can't say no to that opportunity. So we're looking forward
to playing with the orchestra and you know, hopefully having
(02:54):
a bit of fun.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So is it the full orchestra? Tom? Is it like
a pocket orchestra? Think he's about eight members?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
I thought it's fourteen fourteen members?
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yep. Yeah. We can't agree on the name. We can't
agree on how many people are this. That's our style.
We don't agree on anything. It is it comedy as well?
Is it fun? Is it like comedy or is it
like a straight satire?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
It definitely not straight not with me there. But look,
I think, look, we're just we're there to have a
good time, aren't we, guys. It's definitely not satire though.
It's like music for children that is also good for
adults to listen to as well, you know, you will
sit on And I think that that's something that gets
missed a lot and kids music, as people think, oh,
(03:35):
we can make music for kids that will just be
like random and crazy.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Because kids are crazy, but they're.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Actually very intelligent, you know, people in our in our society,
and I think these guys have done an amazing job
of bringing a band together that makes music. Yeah, that
is awesome for kids and engaging and maybe some adults
will learn some things too, you know, some of them
will have.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
There's a certain band in Australia that's made millions and
millions and millions of dollars out of this, isn't there.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I think they were called the Squiggles.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Whatever they were called.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yeah, it's like that but better. Yeah, well you said it.
Yeah I said it, and I meant it. And we're
going to war with the Wiggles star.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
Well, it's just fair musically that I think, and the
way the music is portrayed. It just seems a bit condescending.
You know, it's like you don't have to baby talk
to kids, just talk to them about things that they're
interested in, and play the music to the best of
your ability. You know, we don't have to dumb it
down and make it seem more Google Gaga, Like we're
making serious music.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
So what what age are you attracting? What age do
you think that you that are going to go along
and say, hey, this is cool, I'm enjoying this so
I can have a little bit of a dance, you
know what.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
A demographic would probably be from two to about ninety two.
Speaker 7 (04:52):
And the crowd goes quiet, just like you know, I'm
an early childhood teacher. That's where a lot of these
songs started from when I was working with Karen. So
those children like these songs. I've got a friend news
of primary school teacher and he's taught the music to
his children.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
My sister's primary school teacher.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
She plays them. They sing them in assembly at primary
school up to year eight. So I think it's quite
it's quite broad, like the appeal can be to anyone
that just likes really good fun music.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Is the other songs that you're playing originals? Are the
songs you're playing just your own take on it? On?
Speaker 3 (05:25):
They're all originals? Yes, right, yeah, we made the money.
Who's written them?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I wrote lots of most of them, Yeah, just when
I was making about singing it at work. And then
Tom obviously came on board, who's a fantastic musician, And
and when we recorded the album, we had some amazing
musicians playing with us, like Eilish and lots of other
people who turned my three chord simple what I thought
was simple songs into musical masterpieces. So it's a really
(05:50):
collaborative effort.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What time are you playing?
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Were you playing, oh, eleven o'clock age fastage.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
On Saturday or Sunday? Sunday Sunday, so you're in the
chilled area because it isn't Saturday the party time and Sunday,
well that's what music you see.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But guess what's going to happen on Sunday to eleven
o'clock party time?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
So you said you wrote these songs Karen when you
were working. Was that when you're a police woman?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
No, No, this is when I was an early childhood
teacher for twenty one years.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Oh yeah, before how did you go to that to
being a police woman.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Because one of the parents at my police pel, officer,
why because at least didn't say police man, which is
what lots of people say.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
So you said police woman, which is I guess.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
But anyway, officer.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
One of the parents at my work was doing the
casting for what we're do in the Shadows, and so
she came out to Onday and said, these guys are
making movie. You should come and try it as a cop.
And I was like, no, I'm not an actor. I'm
a teacher. Anyway, long story short, ended up in the
Bloody movie, didn't I Long story short again ended up
with a TV show.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Wow, that's an incredible story. I always thought you were
like an actress.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Dud you, thank you?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
No, turned down three one more about Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Yeah, that's right, And how I'm taking over that microphone?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Okay, you know, I'm a teacher first and foremost and
still now I still do teaching, and yeah, the acting
stuff is just a very bonus.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Right right. And Irish sex playing, When did you start
playing sex?
Speaker 6 (07:12):
I started playing sex when I was eleven, So you
might not believe this, but there was actually twenty years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Now, well, I don't believe it, but I don't want
to be complimenting you the studio table. My heads are up,
you know, I'm arrested you put.
Speaker 6 (07:31):
I started learning sexophone because I actually started on the violin.
But then I got a bit well, I got a
bit bored of the violin. Not because of my teacher.
I had a great teacher, but then I watched a
lot of The Simpsons at the time, which I still
really love, and of course Lisa very good sex phone player,
so I thought that could be me.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I reckon.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
And I also teach, but not in early childhood obviously,
but teaching music in high schools and various various ages
of music pained. No, I'm a jazz trained musician.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Right, and violin? Can you still played the violin?
Speaker 6 (08:07):
I wouldn't. I wouldn't really, No, no, I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You wouldn't know, just I wouldn't know. So it's hassling me.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
That's a nice break.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Stop. Can we hear some music? Can you play us
