I’m back home in Australia, busily preparing to tour ‘Gadgets’ to Holland, Portugal, Switzerland and Germany. It’s all coming together very well. Fortunately we received funding from the Australia Council’s, Going Global scheme which has made this tour possible. It’s shaping up to be a heap of fun.

“The irrepressible Joel Salom is an outstanding all-round comic, whether as a skillfully inept acrobat or artfully off-colour juggler. Popping ping pong balls out of his mouth (with references to the whole digestive system), flinging clubs impossibly fast.. playing electronic percussion with bounced balls and executing a hilarious reversal on the old dropped-pants shtick. He’s also the genius behind the show’s other stand-up comic, a blithely satiric little robot dog named Erik.”

Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle.

This show has taken me places I have always wanted to go - dark, exciting and very stupid places. Gadgets is a high energy show band as much as a theatre show, people say it’s the best thing they’ve ever seen, which is all relative I know, some people need to get out more.

The music is an unpredictable mix of electronic pop, classical, death metal and jazz fused with gypsy swing. Marko plays a multitude of sounds from his midi keyboard, piano accordian and loop pedal with Jim on drum kit, guitar, acoustic bells and whistles. So, couple that with all of my tricky bits and shit happens, good shit.
