Feroze Kamardeen is back with his particular brand of humour – no, not another Pusswedilla but a character with a penchant for getting into sticky situations. Catch ‘Freddy’ from November 24-27 at the Lionel Wendt Theatre.

Here’s a peek into the world of Freddy (continued from last week):

Day 6 – Horsing Around

Today I was in the studio audience of the popular TV Show “42 Minutes” with Willam Molesworth. His main guest was Mr. Primmores Pride, the President of the World Horses Foundation. Mr. Pride was quite passionate about the welfare of horses. They insisted that I also join the show as a guest but I refused. Mr. Pride raised some valid points about the treatment of horses but everyone was a bit confused. Is Mr. Pride the President of the World Equus Callibus Organization or is he an actual horse? He claimed to be one but I thought that everything about him was rather strange for a horse!

Day 7 – The Faith

Today I had a very uplifting experience. I went to the Church of Perpetual High to listen to Rev. Reefer McWeedy. He really is amazing to listen to. Does he really know the path? Which path does he want us to take? Rev. McWeedy might actually have found solutions for the world’s problems? I asked him how I can be like him? I would love to be as successful and loved and rich as Rev. McWeedy. Sometimes I wonder if he is real or a charlatan who is duping people?

Day 8 – Mystic Marriage Service

I got a save the date today. My ex-girlfriend Sheila Woolsey is getting married in December. Strange why she should invite me. Especially since she is marrying that weasel Jonathan Bunkport, who happens to be my former best friend! I should at least pretend that I am happy that the two of them are getting married. I called Jonathan and asked him about how the preparations were progressing. It appears that they are having issues with the wedding planner. I gave him the contact for my good friend Archibald Malone, who runs Mystic Marriage Services. If Sheila and Jonathan Bunkport contract Archibald to plan their wedding, they will get a lot more than they bargained for! How long their marriage will last, who will have an affair and why it would be a bad idea to hold the honeymoon for later!

Day 9 – The AD Agency

The AD Agency where I worked today is about to embark on their greatest campaign ever. We have to market a car that is so revolutionary, it could be the most important invention for mankind since the wheel. Only problem seems to be that the focus group which was assigned with coming up with a name for it have called it the “i-don’t-know-why-this-car-was-built” Tomorrow we have to present our creative ideas to CD. I hope he picks my ideas. CD always wants us to think out of the box. I have figured out a very cool way to sell the “I-don’t-know-why-this-car-was-built.”  Will CD buy it? Will the customer like the campaign? Will it be an effective campaign? One thing is for sure, the campaign is sure to win awards in every advertising show!

Day 10 – The Bank Robbery

Went with my friend today to help him out. My friend was robbing a bank and he needed me to be his getaway car driver. I have never done this before, but I figured that it would be a new experience for me. It took an awfully long time. My friend went into the bank, then came out. Went back in. He then came out and seemed to be in awfully bad mood. I didn’t ask him how it went because he didn’t seem to want talk about it. I asked him where his gun was and he told me he left it at the bank! I am puzzled. Plus, my friend didn’t exactly pay me for this. I wonder how getaway car drivers are compensated? Do they get a percentage of the stolen money? I hope my friend will at least pay me the cost of the fuel.

Day 11 – The Mission

I am really upset. I has prepared for this operation for over 3 months! I was absolutely sure NightHawk will pick me along with Dragon and Gladiator for this mission. After all this operation could end terrorism forever! Why would they leave me out? I am the most experienced delta force operator in the entire Squadron. 250 people back home are watching every step and Eagle is monitoring the mission personally. The Squadron left over two hours ago and I noticed that they have packed every possible piece of equipment they would require for the mission, except one, the sniper rifles! How do they complete the task when they only have laptops, canned food and comic books? I wondered if I should take the sniper rifles to them but then I figured, they are Delta Force. They will find a way!
