  • VHS Revue now on Patreon

    Oh hello,

    I recently created a Patreon account for my webseries VHS Revue. Made a video for it too, so you know it’s serious.

    Join me on a journey through unintentional comedy and general ridiculousness found on old video tapes. It’s mostly funny and/or strange ads and other random stuff taped off Australian TV in the ’80s, ’90s and early ’00s, plus a gag or two in between. It takes quite a bit of time to sift through these tapes so if you like VHS Revue and want to contribute a few dollars to help me make more episodes, I’d be very surprised.

    And thank you very much to the baker’s dozen folks who have already subscribed!
