2012 THE EPIC YEAR OF EPICNESS

2 01 2013

Holy Kites you guys, where did the year go? 2012 was year of BIG things, big moves, big changes, big tours and BIG shows! This year was full of surprises, travel, success, failures and meeting some of my new favourite people in the world and missing those favourites I haven’t seen in a while.

I won’t take up too much of your time (I’m actually surprised you’ve read this far) but here’s a few highlights of what happened at Zack Adams HQ. I hope you like hyperlinks.

  • Produced 2 sell-out seasons the 10yr anniversary production of CHECKOUT The Musical
  • Revamped the first ever Zack Adams show
  • Finished off a 6 year stint at Starlight with a life-changing 4 week visit to The NT
  • Represented WA at The National Theatre Sports Finals
  • Hoo-Haa-ed as much as I could before I left Australia
  • Had a successful Pozible campaign and drew a BUNCH of drawings for people
  • Climbed a MOUNTAIN!
  • I left Perth.
  • I release bunch of ZACK ADAMS music
  • I got trapped in Indonesia for 2 days
  • I tour Canada for three months, making friends and money along the way and losing my appendix to Steve Martin
  • I wrote a bunch of tour blogs for Bloody Underrated
  • I moved to Montreal.
  • My Aunt kicked cancer in the balls, I became a godfather, my baby brother got engaged, my dad bought a pinball machine. I liked all of these things very much.
  • I started CAPTAIN SPACESHIP with some of the best improvisers in Montreal
  • I lived out one of my dreams by starring in The Rocky Horror Show with the best cast ever
  • I started working with MSTC and we have a damn good time
  • I started semi-regular improv gigs with the awesome cats at Montreal Improv
  • I hanged around at Mainline Theatre, A LOT. Broke some people’s dreams during the Fringe Lottery.
  • Was chuffed to add spatterings of backing vocals to recordings by Maya Malkin and Emily Skahan (Both from the awesome band Motel Raphael)
  • I saw snow for the first time.
  • I bought a HUGE jacket long johns and winter boots as to “not die”
  • I drew a lot of stupid little drawings, sold them at EXPOZINE!
  • I cracked 10,000 tweets.
  • Ate a lot of toast
  • Drank a lot of these
  • This thing
  • Made the stupidest yet (not surprisingly) most popular video on my channel.
  • I laughed, I drank, I danced, I cried, I danced some more.

Here’s to a happy, healthy appendixless 2013. Look after yourself and each other, kids. Great things to come…

QUESTIONS.

13 12 2012

Hey gang. Two quick things.

1. I’m looking for a new title* for my Fringe show for next year. The show is about time travel. You can visit the ZACK ADAMS FACEBOOK PAGE and vote for your favourite potential title. Thanks for your help.

2. If I made an  internet talk show from my bedroom…would you guys watch that shit?

Thanks guys.

-Shane.

P.S. I am now on Instragram if you want to see pictures of cats and food that I am eating, I’m @shaneadamczak. Also, still very much into tweeting it up at @zackadamscomedy. Please follow me you guys, I NEED THIS!!!!

*A few people have asked why I’m changing the title. It’s just because the first solo show I toured to Canada with was called LOVE SONGS FOR FUTURE GIRL and the next year’s show’s old title was “A VISION OF MY FUTURE SELF”. I don’t want people to get confused.

So, it turns out that if you have a day off and enough spare time, you can actually just start your own Fringe traditions.
