"I was on stage out in the showring getting the kids laughing and coming gradually closer to the stage, but I couldn't get enough kids on stage telling jokes" Jonas says.
"Then the co-organizer whispered from behind: 'SHOWBAGS! TELL THEM ABOUT THE SHOWBAGS!"
Jonas recalls how he advised the shyest kids that a Fox Studios Kid's Showbag is FREE for every little boy or girl under the age of 12 who tells a joke on stage.
"Suddenly, like an emergency had broken out, queues of kids had formed to both sides of the stage. An hour later, it was declared a huge success by all involved!"
More recently, in 2005, Jonas did it again.This time as 'Captain Australia'.
"There were 150 prizes, and I heard 140 jokes- There were a few jokes about 'a chicken crossing the road' that got repeated!"
