It was 1990. A mobile phone was the size of a helicopter and cost slightly more. Bob Hawke was Prime Minister. MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice battled Madonna and Roxette for chart domination. At a comedy club in Melbourne The Scared Weird Little Guys did their first ever performance. It was a very different world.

The Scaredies stuff was fresh and clever, their confidence was infectious, their talent was plain to see and their comedy, music and improv made each show unique and accessible. They were the most reliable act in town for getting laughs anywhere, anytime. And that's how it's been for over twenty years... now it's almost over for one of Australia's most loved comedy duos.

After twenty-one years and four and a half thousand shows, The Scared Weird Little Guys are calling it a day.

Their last ever farewell tour, Enough Already, will give audiences one last time to see them do their thing. The Scaredies will perform over 70 shows nationally in nearly 40 cities and regional towns around Australia, commencing in October this year and touring until May 2011.

They've certainly gigged around in their time – to New York, London, Edinburgh, Montreal, Hong Kong, Singapore, and lots of other places. Even New Zealand. They've racked up 125,000km on the road and 1.5 million km in the air (that's 680 hotels and almost enough frequent flyer points for a mid-week standby one-way flight to Launceston).

In 2006 they played the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games, winning over the 90,000 strong crowd with songs, jokes and a camera-flash Mexican Wave around the MCG. They've performed with symphony orchestras, brass bands, rock bands, choirs, whistlepop ensembles and been on radio and TV more times than Eddie McGuire.

They've won stuff, like an ARIA Award for Best Comedy release in 2004, a Mo Award in 2000 and awards for Best Comedy Act on Campuses in the USA, Canada and Australia.

And now it's 2010. Hammertime is well and truly over, Roxette no longer rocks and even Madonna's going Gaga. Bob Hawke loves that we have an unmarried, female, red-haired, childless, immigrant for a Prime Minister. A mobile phone is the size of a Tim-Tam and costs slightly less.

It's going to be different world without The Scared Weird Little Guys. www.swlg.com.au
