FIRST PERSON

- ZEB DWYER UNI REVUE CO-DIRECTOR

I am happiest when ... I’m in the company of my dogs Ziggy and Snuffles, even though I know they’re only here for pizza … which is another thing making me happy. You wouldn’t know it but … I’m actually quite a reserved person. I’m genuinely worried this will skyrocket me into stardom. My most embarrassi­ng moment ... I fell out of a tree as a child. As I was falling my underwear caught on a branch, which effectivel­y pantsed me in the middle of the park. My mum and her friend came around the corner, but instead of helping, they laughed. That branch probably saved my life, but it killed my dignity. The last book I read was ... I’m a uni student, so I haven’t read anything in years. I started reading A Bone of Fact, by David Walsh, but then I got sad it didn’t turn me into an eccentric millionair­e. My favourite films are ... Star Wars. I loved The Last Jedi. I really want to ... learn how to properly use a; semicolon. My guilty pleasure is ... You should be proud of the things you enjoy. That being said, YouTube Gunther: Ding Dong Song. I’m about to ... make some last-minute script changes for the Uni Revue: 50 Shades of White ... Thanks a lot, Sue Hickey ... My first job was ... at KFC as a cook/chicken taster. I lasted long enough to save for a PlayStatio­n then I quit. My most memorable work-related moment is ... seeing all the boys in costume for our penultimat­e song and dance. I can’t ruin the surprise, but I guarantee you’ll be entertaine­d … and maybe a little scared.
