Trevorrow and De Waal first started performing together in 1980 and soon created a cabaret act called Gloria and the Go-Gos which morphed into The Globos.[1] They performed live comedy shows, mixing live performance and miming and dancing to 60s songs.[2][3] Shows included All Live All Mime TV Show in 1982,[4] Tonight Tonight at Kinselas in 1983, supported by Jane Markey, Simon Burke, Greta Mendoza, Robert Thompson, Julie Bailue and Alan Wilson,[3][5] and Globos Shock at Kinselas in 1986, supported by Markey, Tracey Callander, Tim Conigrave and Nell Schofield.[6]
Trevorrow left the project in 1984 to pursue a comedy career as Bob Downe, briefly reuniting with them for a run of shows in 1986.
