"Pj's evident showbiz chutzpah brings fans to their feet"
Ian Cuthbertson, THE AUSTRALIAN
"His dazzling, high energy performance is tempered by a humble and charming persona that sets him apart from the others"
Nick Tabakoff, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH
Channeling an over-inflated caricature of himself, the multi-facetted PJ Lane takes you on a musical journey through a hilariously ignorant artistic rant.
"Whether it's Sammy Davis or Lady Gaga, PJ egotistically interprets love songs that relate directly to his fame (or lack thereof)"

Where is my mind? – Choosing Brain or Body?
833 pending comments on my blog! Granted about 810 of those pending comments were spam, but it’s a great indicator of the amount of time I’ve been mentally idle (not to mention lackadaisical with my blog posts). I’ve always been a decent self-motivator and possessed some significant will power, but looking back on the mental punishment I took for the sake of an aesthetically pleasing physique – I would not only consider the time ‘a waste’, but also extremely detrimental.

I am a sugar fiend. I have always been obsessed with it, for as long as I can remember. Even now when I open a packet of snakes, sour worms, jelly babies, or even something like apricot delights then I have to finish what I started and empty the packet down the hatch. I’m not into cakes, muffins, ice cream, and milk chocolate. I like the hard stuff, a straight sugar hit that goes right to my head and keeps me buzzing for a good five minutes.
I’ve often thought of sugar as my equivalent to Popeye’s spinach. Writing late at night I’ll smash 2 or 3 V drinks or Red Bulls (along with a packed of snakes), I have a horrendous crash the next day but I figured that sugar got the job done for me and ‘helped’ me complete the task. Recently however, I have not only come across articles, blogs, news stories, and documentaries about the frightful negative effects of sugar on the human body, but I have also experienced first hand what sugar is doing to my system.

It’s been 3 years to the day since I lost him. The original plan was to be hosting the 3rd annual Memory Lane Concert tonight. It’s funny, what seemed to be a perfect date for a spectacular concert just didn’t work out. Instead I found myself delivering a speech at the brand new Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) at UNSW. Surrounded by academics, senators, and wealthy financial backers I had to tell them my story. (more…)
Read More...Underbelly – Buffing for Badness
‘Too small’, ‘too young looking’ were my thoughts when exiting the audition room. My goal was to give the audition the best I could and detach myself from the result (Law of Detachment – Deepak Chopra). I had heard I got the role a few days later and my immediate thought was ‘now the work begins’. I was told that I didn’t need to get any bigger and that my size could be faked with camera angles, puffy clothing, etc. The problem was… I wanted the real thing, to look the part, for people to take a look at me on-screen and say ‘holy sh*t!’. Throughout the script were references to how intimidatingly large this character was, not to mention the real life character was a champion bodybuilder. So the next day after hearing I got the role I headed to the gym, grabbed some 30 kilo dumbbells, prepped for some shoulder presses, lifted the weight, and CRACK… Pulled my neck out! 1 week of rest needed.
