Heath & Normy



Hmmm.
That's what you get when comedy philanthropists Heath & Normy bring their (H)umour to mmm. Then times it to the power of 104.9.
But maths aside, let's first look at where we've been, where we're going and what will happen to you if we don't win.
We've been interacting comically for years. We attended school and university together, where we realisied that we couldn't outwit one another, and therefore decided to unite forces. We ran a regular night program for two years on community-radio (2MCE FM), and developed quite the following. We've both done stand-up comedy (and had Wil Anderson's writer steal some of our jokes. No joke.), filmed a TV comedy pilot through Channel 7 and acted in several local theatre shows. And that's on top of our day jobs.
Since leaving university in 2004, Normy has been an advertising copywriter, now based at BMF in Sydney. He's won several awards for his ads, including trips to Cannes and New York. Heath is a schoolteacher on the sunny North Coast, where he recently rescued a kitten from a burning building. He may have started the fire.

Our idea for the two-hour radio show is to discuss ideas for a two-hour radio show. Literally. We invite listeners to participate, take the piss out of everyone and everything (including ourselves) and, in the process, release oodles of hilarity over the airwaves.
For instance, a ‘radio show' topic for discussion that comes straight to mind is the ‘choose your own adventure' program, where listeners ring in and tell us where they'd like the show to go. Obviously, we won't like or agree with any of the listeners' suggestions, so we'll abandon that route and move onto our next idea. A show that involves calling on the help of Roy & HG. Basically, we recite HG Wells, while Andrew ‘Roy' Symonds drinks cans of rum in the corner.
There's also the idea of setting up a time-lapse microphone at Normy's desk to give listeners an insight into the wacky world of advertising. However, as Normy doesn't work on Sundays, this may be a fairly lackluster two-hour program.
Or, lest we forget, the two-hour advertisement show. This involves us trying to sell ourselves to rival stations in order to secure more airtime after the competition. The list goes on.
As you can see, there's plenty of room for humour growth here. And the beauty is, you can sit back and revel in our hilarity for two hours, then take the credit when we top the ratings. (In advertising terms, this is who we refer to as ‘the client'.)
