Young people make Nigeria better placed to advance in capital markets
Mohammed Momoh Trade and Industry Capital market
With more room to redefine the exchange for international competitiveness and the largest concentration of young people in the primary market, Nigeria is in a better position to advance its capital markets locally and globally.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, made the remarks in his keynote speech in Abuja on Tuesday at the first Capital Market Conference of the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Group.
Later in the day, the VP presided over a virtual meeting of the National Economic Council where the Council composed of all State Governors, FCT Minister, Central Bank Governor, and Federal Government officials endorsed a memo on the Finance Bill for 2022.
Highlights of the bill was presented to the Council by the Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed who explained that the proposed bill is intended to be passed alongside next year's budget.
According to the Minister, some of the proposed legislative changes cover domestic revenue mobilization, closing tax loopholes, public financial management and tax administration reforms as well as international taxation issues.
She added that some of the principles of the proposed Finance Bill 2022 are to ensure fiscal equity, avoid double taxation, and support businesses especially MSMEs.
Speaking on the NGX Conference theme: "The Future Ready Capital Market: Innovating for Nigeria's Sustainable Recovery," the Vice President stated that, "every smart investor must be looking now at how to be a part of the miracle of the Nigerian Unicorns, the about five or six indigenous Nigerian companies (driven by young Nigerians) that became billion-dollar enterprises since 2015 in the midst of two recessions."
The Vice President, who emphasized the digital transformation of the markets, highlighted the many opportunities this move would provide for the capital markets, which includes bringing in more young investors.
He advised the adoption of technology "to bring in a new crop of young investors, many of who use their smartphones primarily for engaging with commerce and banking activities today. And you have commendably begun the journey to the digital transformation of the market, following the highly successful example of the banks and, of course, the telcos."
The VP added, "today, the huge retail outlets already created by the telcos with well over a hundred million subscribers, the wide reach of banks, especially with the numerous financial inclusion initiatives, make this probably the most auspicious moment for digitizing the capital market to bring in the millions of new young retail investors."
The VP also noted the efforts of the NGX Technology Board to attract tech companies he referred to as 'the present and future tech unicorns' to the market as a viable option for raising capital.
Prof. Osinbajo stated that technology will also give "more investors the opportunity to benefit from the phenomenal growth of these companies."
However, he observed that "we must work gingerly to ensure that where policy may be involved, we enhance and not encumber the ability of these companies to raise capital quickly and efficiently. This, of course, will call for mirroring successful global best practices."
Prof. Osinbajo, who noted that this was probably the most exciting time in the history of capital markets in Nigeria, added that the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) also offered exciting new prospects for cross-border listings, activity, and the formation of long-term capital.
"Your brand campaign, 'the Stock of which Africa is made of' which was well commended by Mr. President is not only imaginative but bold and focused. I think of importance now is that the NGX must work with government AfCFTA negotiators, especially as the process progresses to setting the rules in the service sector," he submitted.
Urging the NGX to see itself as a critical player in the AfCFTA negotiations, the VP added that "we are at a point where we are looking at negotiating Service Rules, we have looked at Rules of Origin already, so this is the time to come into play to get the best deals possible from all our partners all across Africa."
He further stated that with the successful completion of its demutualization process, "which fully commercializes the functions of the exchange as a corporate entity and importantly, separates the regulatory function to prevent conflicts of interest, the NGX can now focus on its core function of exploring new opportunities, leveraging strategic partnerships and transacting business to deliver profit."
According to the VP, while its primary market not only has the largest concentration of young people, the NGX is "now positioned to reverse the trend of declining IPOs in capital markets worldwide, with offerings that are more business-oriented and less constrained exchange such as you have now.
"We also now have a greater room for redefining the exchange for international competitiveness. This is especially so as is currently being done, reviewing the governance framework and, of course, the profit orientation of the exchange means that investors can look forward to seeing more fast-growing companies listed on the exchange."
On how the Federal Government is supporting the capital markets to become globally competitive, the Vice President stated government's efforts in the AfCFTA negotiations, as well as policies to improve the economic environment, including the recent passage of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, and incorporation of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
He added that "next year, the Federal Government will further strengthen the frameworks for concessions and public-private partnerships (PPPs) especially as they relate to infrastructure."
Prof. Osinbajo also pointed out that the Government-backed N15trillion Infrastructure Fund being set up in partnership with the private sector will further help to bridge infrastructure gaps.
The VP observed that despite a significant withdrawal of foreign investors and domestic institutional participation in 2021, "the NGX in 2020 was the highest performing exchange with a return of 50% on the All-Share Index, when compared with 98 other exchanges tracked globally by Bloomberg."
Prof. Osinbajo added that one of the ways to fast-track the return of foreign and domestic institutional participation is through effective collaboration between government agencies, regulators, and the Exchange.
Reiterating the Federal Government's commitment to a partnership with the NGX, the VP observed that, "we need the capital markets for the economy and the capital markets need a thriving economy for its own growth.
"This government has shown its commitment to working with the NGX, in many ways, including the President's signing of the demutualization bill into law in 2018. So, the point of a reassuring business environment for foreign and local investors is not lost on us as a government.
"I believe that all government agencies, and regulators in our financial system such as the Central Bank of Nigeria, the SEC, PENCOM among other key stakeholders, realize that we must work with the NGX to ensure that the excessive risk premium within the market is abated and foreign investors are reassured of a transparent foreign exchange mechanism and other regulations that will enable them to channel their resources in and take their resources out with the least possible constraint."
On climate finance, capital markets, and the benefits for Nigeria, the VP said the Federal Government and the NGX have taken the initiative of issuing the first African Sovereign Green Bond and the first Climate Bonds Certified Sovereign bond.
"We became only the fourth nation in the world to issue one. The value of Nigeria's green bonds market has now hit $136 million within three years with four issuances recorded since the debut issuance by the Federal Government in 2017. And it continues to grow," he said.
Prof. Osinbajo further highlighted the Federal Government's Medium-Term National Development Plan 2021-2025 and collaboration with the private sector in its implementation.
"The Plan envisages that the economy will grow from about 3% this year rising to 6.33% in 2025. The key, of course, is the implementation of the Plan, which is expected to be supported by a range of measures of fiscal, monetary, and trade measures," according to the VP.
In his opening address, the Chairman, Nigerian Exchange Limited, Mr. A.B. Mahmoud, SAN, thanked the Vice President for honouring their invitation, while noting that the Conference is in line with the government's economic growth plans.

Ok. The photo doesn't make these sandwiches look good. I made these sandwiches last week. I first saw them here. (She's fabulous, lives near Hollywood, and plans on taking these sandwiches to the Hollywood Bowl, picnic style. I assembled the sandwiches while Vaughn was yanking on my pants and crying. Justin and I took turns holding cranky Vaughnie while the other inhaled their sandwich. Same diff, right?) She changed the recipe a bit, but the original recipe is from allrecipes.com. I followed Morgan's recipe, not the original recipe, but after making them I'd try using the sourdough bread instead of french bread. Totally confused yet? Hang with me.
Mix mayo, garlic, and lemon juice and set aside in fridge.
Combine sliced veggies, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and transfer to cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-25 minutes until tender.
Turn on broiler. Broil on high for 3-5 minutes. Remove from oven.
Slice bread, spread mayo mixture on both sides of bread, and top with feta. Here's where you can add basil.
Top one side with veggies and top with other side of bread.
Click on Morgan's site for step by step pictures.
I was nervous after seeing the veggies come out of the oven. They looked mushy. I had serious doubts about this sandwich, but everything came together. The french bread that I used was too crunchy and hard to bite through. Next time I'll try the sourdough or ciabatta bread. We really enjoyed them, cranky child and all.
no meat? Brutal. Poor Justin.
I think it sounds delicious. I have to try it soon.
These look delish. Try using the french bread from Panera. Theirs is not as chewy as the french bread from Companion or LaBrea. Sourdough=Acid Reflux!!
I saw Vaughn with Meme this weekend. She is sooo beautiful and looks just like you. We find out today what Nicole and Eric are having. I can't wait!

Q: Help with simplifying a combinatorial sum I'm currently counting different types of coloured graphs and have arrived at a particularly long sum of binomial coefficients. Can someone with more experience with combinatorial identities see a way to simplify the following expression?
$$
\sum\limits_{k = 0}^{b-1} {b-1 \choose k} {l_1+l_2-b-1 \choose l_1-2-k} \, \frac{l_1!}{k+1} {l_1 \choose k} \, \frac{l_2!}{b-k} {l_2 \choose b-1-k}
$$
The expression is dependent on $l_1,l_2,b \in \mathbb{N}$ with $b \leq l_1+l_2-1$.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hatch: Revolution - 22nd February Writers Line Up
Jessica Balmer
The Night is Ours
Jessica is an actor, writer, facilitator for the National Youth Theatre and founding member of Child Creatives. Her recent work includes theatre, film and commercial.
The Night is Ours is a reaction to the horrific events surrounding Sarah Everard, Sabina Nessa and countless other women and their murders. It is a galvanising rally cry for female safety at night. It reflects the fearful checklist a woman must undertake when venturing out after sundown and how I have had enough. The night should not belong to the prowlers - it belongs to us all.
Joe Wiltshire Smith
Mickey's Dog is a Plutocrat
Joe is Welsh Playwright who graduated from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in 2017 and finished his MA in Creative Writing at Cambridge in 2020.

Charlotte is after a big scoop for her school newspaper. Local councillor, Katie, is happy to help. That is, until the questions get a little too close for comfort. A pressure-cooker black comedy about privilege, class, uprising and self-worth.
Jacob Freda
You Fat Bastard
Jacob is an actor, director, and writer currently living in Bristol. He was involved at the previous Hatch scratch night, where his dark comedy piece 'Bad Luck' was performed by Charlie Bentley.
'You Fat Bastard' is a funny, unfiltered look at how society views the male body. A cross between theatre and stand-up, it questions the double standards that exist when looking at male body positivity.

Eloise is an actor who graduated from Manchester School of Theatre in 2019. Her credits all consist of Eloise acting other people's words. This is the first piece she has written and is inspired by someone close to her heart.
This piece is about the misconceptions we make and the power that comes from marching to the beat of your own drum. It is about a woman afraid of the world around her and seeking validation in people who she perceives to be the same.
Matthew Gouldesbrough

He trained as an actor at both Rose Bruford, and then Italia Conti Acting where he graduated with BA (Hons) in acting, as well as spending time with the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. He has performed in the West End and around the country, and founded Elegy.

Henriette Laursen
Henriette Laursen, actor, writer and director, educated from East15 MFA Acting in 2019.

Alongside theatre she's worked on numerous short film productions such as 'The Right Reverend', 'Wiped' and feature films like 'Deadly Nightshade'.
This personal piece explores how assault and trauma becomes the root to addiction. To show how it's all intertwined, and how abusers tend to become their own abusers. To change the way we view addictions - to understand the complexity, so that we can revolutionise the way we deal with it. To understand ourselves better through it. But to also bring hope and clarity. To let people know, that whether or not they deal with addictions, they may find relatedness through the exploration of traumabond experiences. Letting people know, they are not alone in this.
Joe Facer
Last Goodbye
Joe Facer and Adam Sandy are the team behind the production company 'To The Ocean'. Through the mediums of film and theatre, 'To The Ocean' explores the realism of relationships while also interweaving a sense of fantasy through time and location.

The Arms Fair is Here!
Next Post - UN 'overwhelmingly' linked to cholera epidemic in Haiti »
« Previous Post - The GM debate?
by Jessica Corbett	| 3 September, 2013
Second half of Jessica Corbett's report on City Circle's recent anti-arms trade meeting.
The City Circle held its weekly public meeting at the Abrar House Friday evening, featuring two experts on the international campaign against arms trading.
In less than two weeks, London will play host to the world's largest international arms trade fair. The city will welcome 30,000 arms dealers and 1,400 exhibitors or companies to the ExCeL Centre for Defence & Security Equipment International (DSEi), which is held here every two years.
But for many Londoners, and campaigners from all over the world, DSEi is not a welcome event.
Leading up the three-day fair, which kicks off 10 September, activists have organized vigils and demonstrations to highlight major concerns about arms trade.
The meeting on 30 August was simply called 'The Fair is Here.'
Speakers Kirsten Bayes and Barnaby Pace addressed about 40 members of the surrounding communities and answered questions from the audience.
Kirsten Bayes is a long-time campaigner for various peace and social justice movements. She started campaigning against DSEi in 2003, and in 2011 she joined the Stop the Arms Fair coalition team.
Stop the Arms Fair is a coalition of groups, such as Occupy London and Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT).
In her speech, Bayes explained the arms fair, put forward arguments for resisting it, and shared details about some of the upcoming events.
On 10 September, members of Stop the Arms Fair and other campaigners plan to stake out the dealers' arrivals. The action is being called Greet The Arms Dealers, and event details can be found at stopthearmsfair.org.uk
'You'll see them on the Tube, they stay in all the hotels, you'll see them all around if you're in that part of town,' Bayes said of the dealers, whose infiltration of East London and the ExCeL Centre leads to severely-heightened security.
'Helicopters in the sky, all the roads shut off, the stations in that area, which the people might want to use to probably get to work, a lot of the access to those close down,' Bayes said. 'Once the arms fair comes to town, that's it; it's in charge.'
While arms companies General Dynamics and BAE Systems sponsor the fair, it is subsidised by the government, using taxpayer money.
BAE Systems manufactures Britain's nuclear submarines and other military vehicles. General Dynamics is famous for creating one of the most dangerous military tanks in the world and manufactures the US's nuclear submarines.
'So, 1,400 companies, 30,000 visitors, sponsored by evil,' Bayes said, 'but also paid for by you.'
Barnaby Pace spoke further about the relationship between arms trade and politics. Pace regularly researches and writes about corruption and arms trade, and has appeared as a commentator on Al Jazeera, Sky News, and the BBC. He is also an elected member of the Campaign Against Arms Trade steering committee.
He addressed what he identified as the three main pro-arms trade arguments: providing jobs, national security, and the phrase, 'if we didn't do it, someone else would' – which Pace called 'a moral fallacy.'
Addressing the employment argument, Pace noted that in the UK, the state subsidises each arms job by about £12,000 per year. He suggested the opportunity for transferring these workers into other fields, such as renewable energy and nuclear power.
Pace also emphasised that multinational corporations dominate arms trade. Thus, they are difficult to regulate and are not tied to the interests of one country or government. Large arms manufacturers often contribute weapons to multiple sides of armed conflicts.
He cited the example of Libya, where a British arms company provided weapons to Gaddafi's troops and the rebels, and also provided missiles to the British and French troops for strikes against the nation.
A major critique of arms trade, and DSEi in particular, is that it allows companies affiliated with nations like the UK to sell weapons and military vehicles to oppressive regimes, furthering the possibility of war crimes.
DSEi 2011 included 14 authoritarian regimes, 8 countries that were involved in major armed conflicts, and 5 countries with 'the most serious wide-ranging human rights concerns,' according to the UK Foreign Office.
Speaking about the supporters of and contributors to international arms trade, Pace said, 'They're measuring their profits in pounds and their losses in lives.'

doppler is the first in a series of works that I plan to compose specially for the unique duo, Transient Canvas. Each movement of the set is intended to explore a single, distinct gesture drawing its inspiration from the sounds of our physical world. As the title suggests, 'doppler' incorporates the perception of pitch shift as a fast moving object(s) passes by. Avoiding linear narrative, the work displays a somewhat static nature…a roadside landscape and its shoreline of both approaching and fleeting commuters.

Transactions are the most vital part of every business, it is the focal point of every communication whether it is concerning business to customer exchange or business to business trade. Trades mean investments, and investments mean business decisions. In corporate relations, business leaders want assurance that a transaction is cross-checked, well accounted, and original. This may mean handling unique personal details such as financial information, proof of purchases, legal documents and the like, which only happens following a business presentation that has communicated trustworthiness during the process. In a traditional workflow of exchange, transaction happens only after trust building which includes exchanging significant documents that assure both parties of its entire uniqueness. However, in this generation of continuously developing technology, how can assurance be digitized? Nowadays, we call it the "blockchain".

Hypatia of Alexandria, female philosopher, astronomer and mathematician
July 4, 2019 by Jenny Brown Leave a Comment
Hypatia of Alexandria was a renowned mathematician, female philosopher and astronomer. She was born in Alexandria, Egypt. Her father was also a mathematician who taught math at the University of Alexandria. He was the one who tutored her in astronomy, math and philosophy. Hypatia of Alexandria is considered to be earliest female mathematician.
Note: The featured image above is Rachel Weisz as Hypatia of Alexandria in the movie Agora.
What is particularly fascinating about the life of Hypatia is that her father did not want his daughter to follow a traditional path the majority of women had to agree with at those times. He raised Hypatia in a manner in which sons were raised (in accordance with the Greek tradition of those times). That was one of the reasons why she became such an extraordinary woman.
Hypatia of Alexandria became an academic at the University of Alexandria. She was the first female to achieve this goal because such positions were always occupied by men.
Hypatia decided to remain celibate. She also never married. The main aim of her whole life was to keep learning and to teach. Hypatia possessed extraordinary intellectual abilities, as well as pursued a variety of interests.
What Is Hypatia Most Known For?
Hypatia of Alexandria provided her informative comments on such pieces of writing as: Diophantus of Alexandria's Arithmetic, Apollonius of Perga's Conics and the astronomical table. She practiced the Neoplatonist philosophy which was rather difficult in times of conflict between pagans, Christians and Jews. Nowadays, a lot of historians state that Hypatia of Alexandria was a powerful feminist of those times. Her ability to achieve so many intellectual accomplishments contributed greatly to fighting prejudice against women in science.
Hypatia often taught from home. According to a letter written by one of her students, one of the aspects she covered during these home studies was the design of an astrolabe. It was a portable calculator used in astrology until the 19th century.

In addition to that, she also held a lot of public lectures during which she shared her philosophical beliefs. These lectures became very popular. Because of the fact that Hypatia was not afraid to speak publicly on non-Christian philosophies, she quickly became the target for the supporters of Christianity as the only possible religion.
Hypatia of Alexandria was murdered by Peter the Lector and his mob who attacked her carriage on her way home.
Hypatia of Alexandria, as well as her work will forever remain a symbol for feminism, extraordinary intellectual power and freedom. She refused to follow a traditional path of becoming a wife and a mother. Instead, Hypatia of Alexandria studied math, philosophy and astrology, became the first female mathematician and an example for many to follow. Later on, her story and her will to develop her intellectual abilities became an inspiration for the majority of women in the course of history.

"A new year can be used not only to bring hope and optimism for a more positive future but renewed energy to change things for the better"
Future First Executive Chair, Christine Gilbert, discusses the social mobility problem in the UK and how we plan to tackle social inequality this year.
Two important reports published by the Social Mobility Commission at the end of 2016 highlighted the scale and the seriousness of the social mobility problem facing this country. They presented a depressing picture. There is a widening geographical divide between big cities with too many towns and counties being left behind economically and 'hollowed-out' socially.
The end of year gloom was made bleaker still last week by an Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS) report showing younger people who already have higher incomes are much more likely to have received or to expect to receive an inheritance than previous generations. In other words, a young person's future wealth is linked ever more strongly to the wealth of their parents.
When a problem seems so large and intractable, tackling it can feel impossible. But a new year can be used not only to bring hope and optimism for a more positive future but renewed energy to change things for the better.
Thinking and planning for a better future is exactly what Future First is all about. We know the social mobility challenge is huge but our work with hundreds of schools up and down the country is positive and invigorating. Last year, 180,000 alumni signed up to support their former schools and we can see the impact of their work on individuals and groups. We expect to increase this number in 2017.
Alumni come with different experiences of life after school and their personal stories highlight success but also the difficulties they had on the way. They offer insights and connections. Success in the world of work suddenly becomes real and within the grasp of current students. Their expectations about what students from their school can achieve are given a boost.
Our schools continue to find all sorts of inventive ways to use their alumni, from skyping a former student in Canada as part of a geography lesson to asking leavers to take a selfie outside their university to share with current students. And the feedback is terrific. 85% of students we've reached feel more motivated to work hard because of engaging with alumni. Every single teacher we've worked with on an event said they would recommend Future First to others.
Last year saw us focus our efforts in different parts of the country where the need is greatest. The South West was identified as a particularly poor area for engaging with employers. So, with funding from the Careers and Enterprise Company, we began working with 40 schools in the region to help them build thriving alumni communities.
This coming year, we'll be driving forward more regional plans to combat mounting social inequality. Low levels of social mobility mean that a growing number of people feel they are losing out and life is unfair.
We shall also continue to work with schools to better understand their needs. A major initiative at the end of last year was the launch of our interactive digital toolkit. At the click of a button, each of our member schools can now access guidance, tips, templates and practical ideas so they can build a thriving alumni community. And we will be designing more tailored alumni programmes, targeted at helping the most disadvantaged students.
This year will be important in extending our reach, our activities and our impact so that more young people benefit from the many advantages contact with alumni can bring. We know this cannot combat all the evils of social mobility but it can make a significant difference to the lives of many young people.
So we are looking forward to helping schools and colleges make even more of a difference in 2017. In true Future First style, we believe the future can be what you make of it.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is perhaps Roald Dahl's best-known story and has proved to be one of the most enduring children's books of all time. The story of Charlie Bucket, the five Golden Tickets, the Oompa-Loompas and the amazing Willy Wonka has become firmly embedded in our culture since it was first published in 1964. Conservative estimates suggest the original book has sold over 20 million copies worldwide; it is now available in 61 languages. That's pretty incredible!
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory The Musical has landed at Melbourne's Her Majesty's Theatre following a hugely successful six month season at Sydney's Capitol Theatre.
We checked it out last night and I know you're going to love it. Whether your children have read the book or not, now is a great time to introduce it it in truly delicious way!
If you're die hard Roald Dahl fans, be aware that this show tweeks the original story a little, to fit the stage. Having said that, the magic is still there in glorious Wonka style!
The orchestra create musical wizardry (and lots of goosebumps) with brand new numbers, alongside the classics of the 1971 movie, like Pure Imagination, The Candy Man, and I've Got a Golden Ticket. You can't help but sing a long..
The staging of this classic Roald Dahl story is incredible.. Yes there's a chocolate river, there are plenty of Oompa Loompas and Mike TV gets shrunk! I know right!!!
Lenny Thomas as Charlie
Charlie Bucket (played by Lenny Thomas last night) stole everyones hearts from the moment we met him. Lenny is obviously a talented all rounder, who enchanted the entire audience with his tenderness and his pitch perfect voice! We were all desperately willing him to get his little hands on that Golden Ticket! Paul Slade -Smith kept all of Gene Wilders kookie traits, whilst creating a brand new, (more believable than Johnny Depp) Willy Wonka. This is a man who's talent seems endless and who's onstage presence is electrifying!
The nitty gritty!
The stage adaption of Charlie & The Chocolate Factory seemed a little confused about the era it was set in. The original little Bucket shack appeared to be set a long while back (like the original story), then the other characters are introduced with Mike TV on an iPad with a mobile phone, Violet Beauregard being a YouTube sensation addicted to social media.. (Yawn). Lots more references to the modern day were thrown in too, in a rather irksome 'pantomime-esque' way. I thought this was a shame. Must we really modernise EVERYTHING?? LOL! IMHO!
I was also a little disappointed that adults were playing the Golden Ticket winners meaning Charlie was the only child on stage. That's just me though! Augustus Gloop, Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregard, and Mike Teevee have been thrust into modern day life in this adaption, still as vile as ever, but managed to create a new, vibrant and interesting take on the story!
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory the Musical is pretty long for smaller children… 2hrs and 30 mins! The first half is a little slow to get going, however once the second half rolls round, and we enter the factory, the true Wonka magic hits the stage! We were wide-eyed when we spied the chocolate waterfall, oompa loompas and all of Wonka's awesome imaginings! The special effects are stunning, and not like anything I've seen in a huge musical like this! I won't spoil it for you… although I really really want to tell you about…. No! I can't…..! You'll have to go and see it for yourselves!
Despite the little modern additions, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory the Musical is huge fun for the entire family, and a must see!!!

From feeling like she grew up on the set of the Godfather, where the weapon of choice was guilt, to feeling like she is in a spaghetti western, where belligerence is the weapon of choice, The Good, The Bad and the Elderly is about a modern day cowboy trying to look after two old school ones.
Tanya Losanno has returned to the stage at the Melbourne Comedy Festival with her heartwarming, and witty show about the reality and the chaos that ensues when you find yourself thrust from generation X, into the sandwich generation. (The sandwich generation are those of us caring for our children whilst also caring for our elderly parents.) This is a show many will relate to, and if not yet, a show you need to see, to get a little insight into what's ahead.
The show pays homage to Tanya's parents, with heartwarming and funny stories, anecdotes about Aldi special buys and scammers, and a truth that gives the audience a real insight into the chaos of being everything to everyone!
There is no doubt that Tanya is a wonderful storyteller. She speaks passionately, from the heart, and the show is at times visibly poignant to her. There were moments where I had a lump in my throat, truly moved by Tanya's words, only to be pulled back by another well timed gag. She shares her incredibly personal journey, the ups and the downs, with wit and compassion, which is why Tanya truly captivated the audience from the get go!
"I have lots of stories to tell and my family inspires a lot of my comedy."
Tanya has a talent, not afforded to many. She manages to fill your heart with tenderness, have you gushing with love and feelings of "shit, that's my life," then darts a one liner at you, which forces tears of laughter down your cheeks. Book your tickets as The Good The Bad and The Elderly is not to be missed. On now until the 21st April at The Coopers MaltHouse, Shell Room.

What Would Bill Murray Do?
By David Tieck
Want to have more fun in your life? Start asking yourself- What Would Bill Murray Do?
David Tieck is a big-fat absurdist, idiotic, stupid faced, teddy bear type person. In this new hour of silliness, Tieck is officially promising to show off at least 37 totally weird, reckless and flippantly foolish ideas, as well as possibly up to as many as 1 profound ideas.
Taking a note from Bill Murray's beautiful approach to life and comedy, this visceral show weaves together mischievous characters and sublime silliness with poems, songs and ridiculous joy. Tieck and Murray have a lot in common; they both studied at The Second City Chicago, they both have brothers, they're both survivors of horrific cystic acne and they both love to leave audiences with a new life philosophy on how to have the most fun ever.
Dates: 27th March – 8th April (no show Wed 3rd April)

GARRY STARR CONQUERS TROY
Acting was invented by the ancient Greeks. Before that people were just pretending. With the release of his ground-breaking new book 'An Actor Pretends', disgraced actor Garry Starr enlightens us all with the ancient art of 'not-for-realism', thus (once again) saving the performing arts from inevitable extinction.
Following his multi-award-winning debut in 2018 (Garry Starr Performs Everything), comic wunderkind Damien Warren-Smith delivers another anarchic drama masterclass to remember.
Damien Warren-Smith grew up in the sleepy snowy mountain town of Cooma before studying at Actors Centre Australia. Upon graduating, he moved to London where he spent more than a decade working as an actor and deviser with companies such as Tall Stories, Hull Truck and Nottingham Playhouse. In 2013, he studied at Ecole Philippe Gaulier in Paris before creating internationally renowned clown collective A Plague of iDiOTS.

Time: Tues-Sat 9:15pm, Sun 8:15pm
Venue: Tower Theatre, The Coopers Malthouse, 113 Sturt St

One of the greatest movies (if not THE greatest) of all time, is 79 years old today! We thought it was worth celebrating with a trip down memory lane!
The Wizard of Oz was legendary for its use of Technicolor, fantasy storytelling, musical score, and memorable, loveable characters. It is absolutely an icon of American popular culture and one of those stories that never seems to age.
The film was nominated for 6 Academy Awards
Best Picture… but lost to Gone with the Wind.
Best Original Song for "Over the Rainbow" *win
Best Original Score by Herbert Stothart. *win
The Wizard of Oz was considered a critical success upon release in August 1939 however it failed to make a profit for MGM until the 1949 re-release, this made it MGM's most expensive production at that time.
We think it was worth it! Do you remember when you first watched this?

We went to 'Disney on Ice Celebrates 100 Years of Magic' last night at Hisense Arena in Melbourne and we're pretty sure your little Disney fans will love you forever if you book tickets!! This is promising to be one of the top winter holiday activities.
The show starts with a bang as always; everyone loves an opener, however, there's not much getting away from Disney's tried and tested formula, even for this celebration of '100 years of Magic!' (Expect lots of Frozen!) Do not despair though, you'll be relieved to see a couple of new faces, such as Genie from Aladdin and Mulan. This is where the talent of the skaters really comes out. An enormous Chinese Dragon, flying across the ice, not a paw out of rhythm. *Our favourite part of the show!
The audience was a sea of Elsa dresses and Mickey ears, glowing swords and sparkly wands. My kids are "too old to dress up" apparently, and they were definitely in the minority, so don't be afraid to let loose and dig out your Cinderella ballgown!!
The show was like all Disney on Ice shows before it; no expense spared (maybe that's why it's a pricey night out). A full snow storm, exciting pyrotechnics, top-quality costumes, and an insanely talented cast of ice dancers.
Full of energy, full of Disney magic and full of all your favourite Disney characters…. (**Apart from Moana….Sad face!) Disney on Ice 2018 should absolutely be on your holiday to-do list. With a whopping 14 stories told, 30 classic Disney songs belted out, and wonderful props, including a sweet little boat which takes some very excited audience members out onto the ice and an enormous turtle; who'd want to miss that??
Disney On Ice celebrates 100 Years of Magic

SLEEPING BEAUTY A KNIGHT AVENGER'S TALE
Sleeping Beauty tells the story of Princess Aurora, who by a single prick of her finger is put to sleep for 100 years. Doomed by fate, only a Prince's sweet kiss can break the spell and awaken the sleeping beauty.
The Wilson's rugged up and headed into Melbourne to the Comedy Theatre for opening night of Bonnie Lythgoe's latest Oz Panto, Sleeping Beauty! What a fab family night out!
For all you British expats out there, you will be pleased to hear this is proper British panto… with a sprinkling of Oz! If you're anything like me you'll get all homesick this time of year. It feels like we should be celebrating all things Christmas but it's June and not even remotely Christmassy! Having said that, this pantomime is absolutely the perfect 'winter' pick me up for the whole family! OzPanto is by no means a cheap imitation of panto; this is true, old fashioned pantomime with all the singing, dancing, cracking jokes and cheesy lines. It's exactly what winter in Australia needs!
Our faves:
Rhonda Burchmore plays the wicked fairy 'Carabosse'. Rhonda stole the show with her terrfying presence, huge voice and her incredible legs. Yes I said it! Green eyed monster right here! Carabosse brought the theatre alive with "Boo's" every time she stepped on to the stage, just as panto should be.
Kev Orkian as 'Silly Billy' made us all belly laugh. There were tears streaming down our cheeks at points throughout, and it was all down to his impeccable timing and hilarious stage presence.
The Dancers -Wow, the incredible dancers. The children were full of energy and super talented. Absolute stars in the making.
British Expats or Aussie this is a must see! For the Brits it will take you back to your childhood, and for the Aussies, it's a wonderful introduction to the timeless art of British Pantomime. Bonnie Lythgoe has brought the true magic of pantomime all the way to Australia for our families to enjoy, which means our expat kids aren't missing out on what used to be a family tradition back home!
Grab your tickets now!
You're guaranteed dazzling costumes, stunning sets, magic, breath taking special effects, side splitting comedy, and sensational musical numbers. A massive hit for all ages.

We headed into Melbourne for the opening night of STOMP! I have always wanted to see the show, but never had the chance! Oh my… it exceeded all of my expectations. If you have seen the posters and heard the buzz, you know NOTHING!! You have to see and hear it to believe it, and even then you wont believe your ears or your eyes.
For someone who struggles to put one foot in front of the other some days, the rythmn that the cast have firing through their veins is just mind blowing. I mean, who on earth can bounce a basketball in a rhythmic way, alongside 7 other people, THEN PASS THE BALLS AROUND WHILST STILL BEING IN TIME AND CREATING MELODY...?
STOMP has become a global phenomenon over the last 26 years and has been performed for over 12 million people in 55 countries across six continents. There's a good reason it's such a hit!!
Eight incredible performers create musical magic from all sorts of everyday items, including a humble supermarket trolley! (I have since tried this rhythmic trolley magic in Woolworths and was asked to leave after frightening a small child)!
I don't want to ruin the magic for anyone going, so I won't tell you too much.. Just know that if you book to go and see STOMP you will be blown away by 8 cast members who's connection through the sound they are making, creates a show that will not only have you tapping away at your kitchen bench as soon as you get home, but will give you the most tingly goosebumps, and an insane urge to see if you could recreate THAT SOUND….
Zippo lighters, bin lids, and even the kitchen sink are used to hammer out an explosively feel-good rhythm. Trust me, you won't be able to resist having a go.
The choreography, the connection between the cast members, the industrial percussion, and continuous comedy made this one of the best shows Mr W and I have seen on stage. Mouth wide open kinda stuff!! Go and see it when it STOMPS into your city!! *see what I did there?

Picture courtesy of the Pop Up Globe
Walking up through the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in the darkness of the evening, you can spy a chain of bright lights through the trees. By the time you have found out what they are, you have been completely blown over by the sight of the Pop Up Globe standing high on the hill like a beautiful fair maiden from old London! I think I may have even gasped!
The venue is a feat of engineering, all coming together after a pop up story at bedtime and an inquisitive child in New Zealand asking daddy how they could visit the Globe Theatre themselves. Imagine your father making THAT happen!!! Hats off to the insanely brave and awesome Miles Gregory, who believed he could, so he did!
Last week we went to a performance of As You Like It, and boy did we like it! Walking into the Pop Up Globe sends a shiver down the spine of even the most hardy of men. A replica Jacobean Theatre built with mostly scaffolding in the middle of Melbourne, and you are almost thrown into 1614, and looking for a wench to serve you some mead.
We were seated in amongst the scaffolding, on a rather comfy cushion, directly in front of the stage. As soon as the music began I was right there, hanging on every word.
The actors made the story come alive, made it real; they made us laugh… properly laugh. They took us right back to Shakespearean times, with some clever modern adaptions for everyone to enjoy. The sword fights, the love trysts, the dancing and the music, all performed in THE space it was made for.
With a talented cast of all male, all rounders, it was a night to remember. Michael Mahony as Touchstone was faultless, as was the rest of the cast. Having spent most of my English Lit classes being miserably confused, I am really excited that we have this wonderful theatre to take us right back, and engage us in the way Shakespeare wanted.
The Pop Up Globe is in Melbourne now until the 12th November.

Entertainment Interview / Interviews / TV
Hunter Clowdus is An "All American" Guy
Written by Erin Tatum
If one word could describe Hunter Clowdus as a person, it would probably be "grounded." The actor and Chattanooga native knows not to take any opportunity in Hollywood for granted. This humble outlook stands in stark contrast to his fictional counterpart. Hunter portrays JJ on the high school football drama "All American." Season 2 has JJ riding high on Beverly High's recent state championship victory. Still, Hunter sees JJ as a boy trying to find his way in life like any other high school kid. You can catch season 2 of "All American" on the CW on Monday, October 7th at 8 PM.
Cliché: You grew up as a small-town country boy! What inspired the big move to Hollywood?
Hunter Clowdus: The impossibility of it I'd say was what intrigued me the most. I think anything is possible if you're willing to work hard for it. I searched my heart for what I felt called to do and Hollywood is what I found! Creating, inspiring others and storytelling are all in my DNA. I just took that leap of faith and haven't really looked back since.
What was your first big break?
That's a tough one as for me it's been a steady grind, moving methodically as opposed to an 'overnight success' story. I have to give this one to my managers though. Since I linked with them, moves have been made. Like true Hollywood story moves. Business moves. I just couldn't be more grateful for them and the impact they've had not only in my career but my life. As far as a specific project, I still feel I'm fighting for it. To be totally honest, regardless of the heights my career reaches, I'll always work from that place of "I'm still fighting for it."
Talk about your show, "All American" and your character, JJ.
Ahh honestly it's SO much more than just a show or character for me. It's a beautiful story that I'm happy and humbled to be a part of. There are so many levels to it as a whole which is why I believe it resonates with so many. It's about love, struggle, heartbreak, overcoming, discovering, believing, achieving! It's universal and it speaks to so many issues that we all face every day. My character at first glance is the comedic relief to what otherwise could be considered a darker drama. But in reality I believe JJ is truly just as lost as he is found. Just as is everyone in high school. Dare I say just as everyone is in life. I mean we're all just continuing to find our way right? I think he's comfortable in his role as the party guy and absolutely loves that attention. He's going to go out of his way to make sure his friends and family have a smile on their face which in turn puts one on his. But ultimately he is human and although he's about the most positive guy you'll ever meet, he knows all this one day will come to an end. The popularity, the girls, everything that runs his world, but right now he's just living in the moment.
JJ is very passionate about football, and you yourself played several sports growing up. How do you think that sense of camaraderie and loyalty to his "football family" shapes who he is as a person and as a player?
He is the epitome of a team player! When he steps between those lines he's going to give it his all. I think he takes a lot of pride in that and also in setting an example to the other players of what the intensity level needs to be at. It's actually really great with the cast and other football players out there because we all have a very similar camaraderie. When we get to set on football days, we all dap each other up and joke around, warm up, and have fun! As special as those times are for JJ, I think they may even be more special to me.
What is JJ up to in season 2?
It's hard for him to get through a sentence without reminding the world that he and the Beverly Eagles are STATE CHAMPS! JJ is absolutely riding high and oozing confidence at every turn. Feeling bulletproof and continuously pushing the limits following the 'rules are meant to be broken' mantra. You can't help but smile wondering what this guy is going to get into next.
Without giving away any spoilers, what do you hope JJ will learn or accomplish this season?
Ultimately I hope he finds a solid solution for achieving this high that he chases. It can be a really scary, lonely, and dangerous place for high school superstars who exit that world and no longer have that affirmation or drug-like feeling to carry them. I don't think that happens now, I think that's down the road, but still an arc perhaps that leads to the face to face with reality would be a truthful one to show. I think this season however should continue with JJ being JJ. A kid who knows no consequences for his actions.
Who is your favorite character on the show other than JJ and why?
Great question!! Knowing everyone personally makes it that much harder as I'm such a fan of everyone's work but also everyone's heart as cheesy as that sounds. It truly is a family on set. That said, I'd say a character who I think I'd have a blast playing, lots of great depth, and a really cool arc would be Jordan Baker. Especially this season.
You volunteer with several student organizations. What does being able to get back to the community mean to you?
In one word, EVERYTHING! I mean that. I've always wanted to use any platform I was ever privileged enough to get to help and inspire others. I think life is such a gift and although difficult at times I believe with the right guidance and support that you can almost will your way to success. Dreams are to be lived. Happiness is to be had. I've kinda coined this phrase, 'Perception is reality,' so I feel if I can ever enlighten someone or help them see things in a different way then sometimes that makes all the difference. It's all possible. You just have to believe.
