Reasons to hate Craig McLachlan.
...because surely you must be tired of hating me all the time.
1.
2. Craig: 'A few years before Catherine Zeta-Jones 'broke' in LA, I did Catherine the Great in Europe with her. She played a Russian Empress and I played her lover, Saltykov. It was a tough gig!...We had to do these sex scenes, and I figured humour was the best way to deal with the awkwardness. So when we came onto the set wearing robes before doing that scene, I was prepared. I'd poked my tackle through my legs to create that old party trick, the gender illusion. I said, 'I know you're all wondering if my top half matches my bottom half, so let's take a look.' I dropped my robe to reveal this perfect-looking muff. Everyone laughed, and the ice was well and truly broken after that!'

4. His appearance on Sydney's Footy Show . If I may quote from the Daily Telegraph:
"I was Kylie's brother on Neighbours and why the Neighbours script writers never investigated incest pisses me off to this day," he said to a smattering of nervous laughter from the crowd.
He proceeded to state that he "only very occasionally sodomises my friends' pets" and detailed his former life as a plumber, asking the crowd: "what's worse than poo?" – to which an audience member yelled "you!"
While his fan club have attempted to put a positive spin on it , please note that one of them does refer to himself as 'Brain of Pooh'.

6. Craig: 'During my first couple of months on the show (Neighbours) Smitty - Ian Smith - and I discovered we shared a kindred sense of humour. As soon as we realised that, it was double trouble! It was never a long day with us, it was a funny one. During a scene Henry would say, 'Hey Harold, have you seen my lawn-mowing roster?'. Harold would reply, 'I put it in this drawer.' He'd open the drawer and I'd have a hardcore pornographic photograph sticky taped to the bottom of the drawer - God love him. Very rarely did he ever crack. We'd get to the end and we'd be in complete hysterics.'
7. He is doing a show for Comedy Festival. Here, look:

Craig McLachlan
'Lifting the Lid'
Cabaret
Craig McLachlan's hilarious true story expose of that 4 letter word called 'Fame'!
From drainer to entertainer, Craig McLachlan lifts the lid on the toilet seat of Show Biz! Hear how the plumber from Tumbi Umbi swapped a faucet for a corset, put some muscle in his mullet and the meat into Mona.
Spend a hilarious evening with Craig McLachlan as he exposes himself and the world of fame!
A consummate comic story-teller mixing music and mayhem, for McLachlan nothing is sacred on this fantastic foray into the frightfully fabulous.
In fact, plumber be dammed - the man's a bloody surgeon performing a celebrity-ectomy!'
We have to go. Who's in? If we organise a group we may get discounts.
940 days til the next election.

Can you please make that first picture go away? k thx
Bit much for a Monday morning Old girl.
Can't you put a warning before that pic?
That would be super.
I thought the incest joke was funny.
...What's the problem?
Maybe his delivery was off.
Ms. Fitts, my sweet treacle darling, first Peter Phelps, now Craig McLachlan....is there a former soapie-turned-serious actor you don't hate?!
Oh and btw - to add to my embarrasing Peter Phelps crush comment, I still have Craig's single "Mona" with his check 1 2 back on my computer!
How many Hail Mary's will I be forced to say this time?
Thank you Ms Fits for highlighting such cringe inducing "comedy"
If we ever do a local version of The Office we now have the perfect person to play David Brent

I recommend going to the Festival Club at the HiFi bar afterwards as it is always good value.
Here's some photos from one of the "Superstar Karaoke" sessions last year:

Thanks.
'Putting the meat into Mona'???
*shudder*
That's definitely on my list of things I don't wanna think about.
Hey, moaner (see what i did there? lol wtf bbq?!)
There was a big hubbub at the Rose in Erskineville on the weekend - seems Craig Mac was playing there with his new band.
To her eternal credit, my lovely Pearl (who has had no previous exposure to Craig Mac, being from America) was not impressed.
ten bucks says he wrote his own press release.
Ms Fits, I have a conspiracy theory that your craig-bashing is somehow related to hell having no fury like a...
You could be onto something! :)
Coincidentally, I heard Phelpsy knocked her back a few years ago which explains the Anti-Pete stance. It's all so plain to see now!
Clearly, Ms Fits' futile love of Minty Twat is the reason behind the whole "leftist" schtick, and as for Amanda Vanstone... well. There's one post-pash party palm off I'm glad I wasn't there to witness. Mandy can be so harsh sometimes.
If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, Fits, I'm always here. You don't always have to be the strong one.
*comment dissolves into Hallmark ad territory*
*slaps self to save others the trouble*
Okay, you busted me. I've rooted Peter Phelps, Craig McLachlan and Amanda Vanstone. Obviously.

And now the Sunday Hun tells us that he is to don the blue overalls for a celeb appearance for the 20 year anniversary of Neighbours...
I can’t give him any of my money. I just can’t.
And here is another reason why I can’t: http://sports.ninemsn.com.au/nrl/video_vault.aspx

did you hear he was booed off a spot on the footy show last week? Charles just told me - aparently his shtick didn't go down so well and they cut to an ad break and pretended it hadn't happened when they went back on air.
"Tell you Mona what I'm gonna do"
"Build a house on top of you"
Ah shit. I think that was meant to be next door to you. My bad.

I've never been able to tell - what's the different between Superstar Karaoke and the Scardies Superband?
And as for Craig McLachlan, to be fair, he WAS piss-funny when he appeared on The Glass House... but there are quite a few comedians who are significantly better when they have someone to bounce off.
