A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 will be unlike any other lo-fi Xmas special ever seen by anyone ever.

Broadcasting from the main arena at Maynard International Studios, just opposite the Gilmore Girls Memorial Auditorium, it will bring the magic of Santa’s grotto back into our lives. Hopefully in the good way.

HERE IS THE LINK TO WATCH LIVE FROM 8.15pm (AEDT) 9.15 (UTC) on Mixcloud.com Saturday 7th December

Feature guests in A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 include Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan, Roy Darby, Chris Kelly of Ship o Fools. With Christmas greetings from Mari Wilson, Rob Darby, Christopher Laird of Radio Nowhere, George Hrab with The Christmas Sweaters, Brigitte Handley, Tony Push and his poinsettia, even Paul Field and Bronwyn Mulcahy of Countdown Live wave hello in this most awkward of Xmas variety shows.

Here’s the audio version of the Xmas show this year. To enjoy the full immersive cheapo experience, watch the show on the previous page. But enjoy both, it’s Shatmas.

A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. It’s just like an old style Xmas variety show, but without the style, or the show.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson getting a surprise gift, Lesley Fountain dancing with a choir, Brigitte Handley hanging out with some creepy German dolls, Christopher Laird eating some sort of donut, Tony Push reading his Bowie inspired Xmas poem, George Hrab becoming a super hero, Rob and Roy Darby supplying some quality original music and other people who should have something better to do at this time of year.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2023 promises you almost an hour of Xmas entertainment that you will only have yourself to blame for. Musically the show has everything from David Essex to The Gibson Brothers and Lulu. Plus a monkey washing a cat.

Tim Ferguson doesn't seem to keen on the present Maynard got him for Xmas.

Watch A Very Maynard Xmas 2023 (in Cheap-O-Scope) Saturday, 2nd December.

Join me Maynard for A Very Maynard Xmas 2023, my frugal festive video livestream from my enchanted Xmas grotto for the annual extravaganza of shamelessness. This year in Cheap-O-Scope!

Use this link on Saturday 2nd December from 8.15pm Sydney (9.15 UTC)

Yuletide guests include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain (the dancin’ fool), George Hrab, Brigitte Handley and notorious Communist teddy bear lawyer Noam Chomsky.

“We choose to do these things because they are cheap, as am I”

This year the show is on a budget and has no crew, but you will be amazed what I do with old string and a piece of tinsel. There will be choral music, but Lesley Fountain (Glenn Keenan) will be showing you some dance moves that will have those pesky singers off your lawn in no time.

So this year the video livestream is ALL about hastily conceived gift ideas for people you don’t even like.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2023 happens on Saturday December 2nd at https://www.mixcloud.com/live/dj-maynard/ with a pre show starting at 8.15pm (9.15 UTC). It’s free to watch and you can join all the fun in the live chatroom so be in on it.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2022

A Very Maynard Xmas is the highlight of the year for people who don’t get out a lot. The extravaganza purports to have a level of Xmas pageantry rarely seen in Australia. This year the spotlight occasionally falls on “unimpressed Germans”: witness attempts by a handful of varied musicians that fail to crack a smile on that Germanic dial.

Our guests dropping by this year include Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain, Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools, Brigitte Handley, Christopher Laird, Tony Push, Frank Bennett, George Hrab, Mari Wilson, “Weird” Al Yankovic, 3 pugs and loads of Yuletide surprises.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2022 promises you almost two hours of Xmas entertainment you probably won’t be able to describe to friends afterwards. “There was this guy in a suit and Toyah, a bugle, fire, Vegemite, Mari Wilson cursed a fig tree & a Dark Wave guy held up signs in his pyjamas while someone read a poem in Dymocks”.

Chris Kelly and Maynard try to be balanced. A Very Maynard Xmas 2022.

A Very Maynard Xmas 2000 Channel V

It’s a selection of music and Xmas musings in A Very Maynard Xmas 2000 from Channel V on Foxtel from 2000.

Keep an eye out for Jabba, Yumi, Kyla, Mary, Mike, Andrew G, James Matheson and Andrew Mercardo, as we enjoy a getaway near an open fireplace with some moments from Channel V in 2000.

If you liked the earlier Maynard Channel V Xmas show, this will give you that same funny feeling in your water.

Video – A Very Maynard Xmas 1998

But what would A Very Maynard Xmas look like?

In 1998 we found out when Foxtel’s Channel V assigned Mary Datoc and Maynard to dig up clips and music from around all Foxtel channels in a way that would never happen now.

All the Channel V presenters of the time turned up at Maynard’s for an afternoon and this show was the result.

Maynard Staff Xmas Party & Easter Bonnet Parade

The annual Planet Maynard combined staff Xmas Party & Easter Bonnet Parade was just as wild as every other year.

I may have to get a permit for the parade next year. Which is a little regulatory overreach I think.

This is a behind-the-scenes look that non-industry types don’t usually see.

You can still enjoy the excitement and pageantry of a high class office social event, without anyone getting in trouble.
