    I’ve never laughed so much in all my life when I saw Bob live in London back in the late 90’s. Absolute legend

    What a wonderful interview. To hear of the experiences other gay men had in 1990s Sydney, with the HIV epidemic as well as the Bondi murders happening, to learn that the same fears and feelings I had and occasionally still have, are not a solo experience has been my big take away. Mark is right. I will never be ashamed to be an ageing gay man, because so many friends didn't get the opportunity. Thank you both.

      More power to you mate. An ageing gay man is just one more wonderful person still gracing us with their presence. Cheers.

    This really was a terrific interview. My knowledge of Mr. Trevorrow is limited to (fond) memories of Bob Downe, but Courtney Act is a new face to me - and provided some truly insightful questions and responses throughout the course of the interview. Terrific stuff.

    I remember watching Bob back in 1995 in the UK. When he mentioned NRN11 and RTN8 I was crying. I’m from Lismore. His comedy with Lily Savage was class.

    It’s so strange, I always knew Bob was a character, Mark is just so talented he made me forget there was someone playing him!

    My Mum is friends with a lady I think is Marks cousin Ruth, I remember back in the 90's Ruth took my Mum to see Mark perform and for weeks leading up Mum was so excited because she was going to meet him backstage. Mum's pretty old now and she's still as excited about it today as she was 30 years ago.

    What a terrific interview. I was so lucky to see Bob Downe at the Edinburgh Festival in the mid 90's along with the late great Paul O'Grady as Lily Savage. The girls I went with and I still talk about how fastastic the show was!! Kym, Edinburgh, Scotland.

  • @LITTLELEGSFILMS

    I first saw Bob with Lily Savage at Edinburgh Festival back in the 90s. I have NEVER laughed so much, and after that would chase any show he would appear at in London. And then saw Georgie Fame perform Yeh Yeh at Ronnie Scott's and life was complete! Brilliant, insightful interview, thank you x

    Bob put me off ever sitting in the front row. I saw him in Brighton and he was hilarious, but picked on me from the word go. I moved seats in the interval and he ran up and down the aisles saying “you can run but you can’t hide”. Never again! I still love him though.

    What is he/she wearing - or not wearing haha. - says ‘thought it was impossible for a man to act in this way’????? What it’s a funny wig/polyester and sining great songs with a touch of humour. Hardly ‘out there’!. Others have been dong it for years.
