Julia Wilson

The toughest woman in comedy

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

There's a bunch of people I'd like to meet if there were no judicial consequences, to name them would be premeditation. I'm not real bright but I sure can lift heavy things, so even I know that you don't list your premeditations!

My wish list of people I'd like to chat to: Banjo Patterson, Albert Einstein, Any of the Gracie Family, Dave Allen, The guy who thought up god, Socrates, Don Bradman, My Grand Fathers, Rosa Parks, Norman Lindsay, Michelangelo, Frederick Nietzsche, Bruce Lee and the guy that modified my 1977 Honda CB750 into a dual exhaust, I fucking love that bike.

Music:

If any band ever sported a mullet and released an album, I probably own it. I have a band for every mood and task. My ipod is chockers with AC/DC, Cold Chisel, Rollins Band, Paul Kelly, The Angels, Australian Crawl, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Audioslave, Metallica, James Brown, Living Colour, Colin Hay, Aretha Franklin, Crowded House, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller, Miles Davis, Hoodoo Gurus, Ian Moss, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Cash, Mozart, Bach, Lou Reed, Midnight Oil, Nick Cave, The Ramones, The Screaming Jets, Sarah Vaughn, Mahalia Jackson, John Coltrane and a shit load of other stuff. Youll find no boy/girl bands, DJ mixed, auto-tuned stuff. My ipod is programmed to self destruct and take me with it if that comes anywhere near it. I love loud, passionate, raw music 24 hours a day. If there's a band on that list that you've never heard of, search them or email me.

From bouncing days I discovered a bunch of bands who were awesome muso's and really good guys - professional and cool: Lior, Karma County, Mick Hart, Bodyjar, Mark Of Cain, Iota, The Beautiful Girls and of course my boys from school GABRIEL'S DAY.

Movies:

I was born without the chick flick gene but give me any of the shoot 'em up, fight it out, broad-sword action flicks & I'm a happy gal. Want to make me cry? Once were Warriors will do it every time. Movies I know all the words to? Mad Max (all of them), Highlander (just the first one), Apocalypse Now, Lethal Weapon - seeing a trend?

Books:

I'm not often into fiction but I love the philosophers and poets. William Blake, Goethe, Nietzsche, Charles Darwin, Thoreau, Heraclitus, Socrates, Francis Bacon, Henry Rollins (I know hes in the music section but he deserves the double mention), Banjo Patterson, Dylan Thomas. Love the classics Shakespeare, Dostoevsky all those crazy kids.

I embrace my inner Geek often: Any books on brain chemistry and human interaction, learning patterns, cults and religions, biographies.
Got any recommendations? PM me.

Heroes:

None that you would ever have heard of but I'm proud of any of you that do your own thing. Ever use the words passion, nobility, honour and determination to describe yourself? Then you're my hero.
