Tripod
Tripod are probably the biggest comedy trio going at the moment.
Tripod consists of Steven Gates (or Gatesy), Simon Hall (or Yon) and Scott Edger (or Scod).
Their costumres are very colourful. Steve wears the purple (sometimes red), Simon wears the
green and Scott wears the blue.
This comedy trio sing and Dance. Scott plays the guitar and they all sing. Their main dance is
called the Sailor Dance.
Tripod are friends with the Rove team (Rove McManus, Corinne Grant, Peter Helliar and Dave
Callan) and have appeared on Rove twice, including the last episode. They have also appeared on
GNW Night Lite when Steve was a guest on Julie's team. They have also appeared on Hey Hey it's
Saturday a couple of times. This was all in 1999.
In 2000, Tripod appeared on the Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala and the Melbourne Good News Week
episode.
These guys have also toured with the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow for a couple of years.
On Rove, they were having a fight between the etc. etc. dance and the sailor dance. To cast you
vote, you can visit Comic Attitude.
They have also done some work with the guys from Sock
(I know you probably haven't heard of them but they're good).
I have interviewed Simon,
interviewed Steve and
interviewed Scott too.
Tripod have also appeared on Denise. The date of that was the 8th of Dec 1999. They plugged
their Christmas show too.
