A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 – Sat 6th December 8.05pm (Syd)

A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 brings you the unexpected festive farce that you’ve come to expect from someone who has inflatable legs for a window.

Here is the link to view A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 for free. It will be live from around 8.15pm Saturday 6th December. Watch along with us and comment like a crazy person.

Low budget has been swapped out for no budget this year as a Xanadu-themed Xmas special brings you the talents of Leslie Fountain (Glenn Keenan), Fat Elvis (Chris Kelly, Ship-o’-Fools) and Olivia Cardboard-John on the Maynard International Studios Mainstage, as well as greetings from around the world and Bexley, plus more impractical outfits and the wonders of Magpie TV.

What you can expect Saturday December 6th from 8.15pm…

Guests include Tim Ferguson (Australian legend), one Wiggle and two Cockroaches and an indeterminate Xmas hand puppet. Leslie Fountain brings his finest Xanadu moves to our stage, Brigitte Handley has issues with technology, Tony Push is poorly lit on a dodgy street in Western Sydney, and George Hrab is all over Xmas like a rash as usual.

It’s the Xmas special that you probably don’t want or need, but you have anyway. Just in case everything else falls through. Where else are you going to get someone in a tree getting excited about Supernaut?

A Very Maynard Xmas 2025 promises you an hour of Xmas entertainment for which you will only have yourself to blame. Musically the show has everything from Swing to The New Seekers in their flares and maxi dresses. Plus, as expected, both the West Germans and that magpie remain permanently unimpressed.

A bit more of what you can expect Saturday December 6th from 8.15pm…

Video – A Very Maynard Xmas 2024

It’s a “cavalcade of clever” on A Very Maynard Xmas 2024. We’ve made it our most expensive low budget Xmas special ever from Maynard International Studios. For a change, there is also some real talent on the show this year. Plus more loud suits than ever! AND a magpie.

This year the show comes live with guests on stage at Maynard International Studios. Lesley Fountain brings his finest 60s go-go dancing to our shonky stage, Brigitte Handley shows off her new German boyfriend, Christopher Laird shows us his house, Tony Push reads his Kylie Minogue inspired Xmas poem, George Hrab has a track from his new Stocking Stuffer album, Roy Darby impresses everyone with a live set on the main shonky stage and Chris Kelly from Ship O Fools juggles and almost has a groin strain.

Yes, it’s another end of year Maynard video show special that makes all the other shows look so awfully “professional” and “capable”.

Watch the festive foolish farce that is A Very Maynard Xmas 2024

A Very Maynard Xmas 2024 promises you an hour of Xmas entertainment for which you will only have yourself to blame. Musically the show has everything from rockabilly to Kylie Minogue and Village People. Plus a really unimpressed magpie.

Watch YOU Can Start The Music!

The greatest and longest tradition in Australian history is the screening of Village People’s Can’t Stop The Music every NYE across Australia. So elevate your experience this NYE by watching this anytime before you watch the movie, anywhere, anytime, to get you in the mood for the musical extravaganza of 1980.

It’s not New Year’s Eve in Australia till we see Steve Gutenberg over excitedly skating down Broadway!

Thanks Felipe Rose for kicking off the show on New Year’s Eve.
I hear Village People approaching.
Village People can fly. Did you know that?

Brain Freeze – A Coldest 100 video livestream – 2023 (Parts 1 & 2)

Brain Freeze Part One

Australia has always enjoyed an inordinate ability to laugh at itself, so needing a good laugh and well meaning carry-on, enjoy Brain Freeze with 30 odd (very odd) video clips from the Coldest 100 – 2023.

With two big shows over two Saturday nights, it is Australia’s Coldest 100 – 2023. Hand picked by Andrew Sholl, it features world class musical shonk that only Australia can produce. From Marlene Dietrich to Steven Farnham via Skippy. The Coldest 100 is songs about Australia, or by Australians that sometimes don’t work out that well…

Brain Freeze Part Two

Appearances from Tim Ferguson, Lesley Fountain (Glenn Keenan), Brigitte Handley, Charlie Fatt, Tony Push, Richard Saunders and (time permitting) Noam Chomsky the communist teddy bear arts lawyer.

Just look at this list of artists that Andrew Sholl has curated that you’ll never again see on the same bill. The Coldest 100 – 2023 brings Bud Tingwell, Germaine Greer, Tina Arena, The Singing Citizens of Macarthur, Johnny Raper, Ian Turpie singing some Nirvana, and the legend himself, Steven Farnham.

From Skippy to The Muppets, Kamahl, Young Talent Time, Julia Morris and Melissa Tkautz, it’s two shows YOU don’t have to apologise for.

Going out as livestreams in HQ with a pre show, here are the edited versions for you.

Keep an eye out for special guests Tim Ferguson, Brigitte Handley, Lesley Fountain/Glenn Keenan, Charlie Fatt and others that were sucked in to add to the cultural carnage.

@OzKitsch on Twitter has been compiling this list every January for the last eight years. This year his clips were so good we made the show twice…
