Ever since what the British people did to Joan of Arc, I really cannot support anything to do with London.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">As he often does, Hauville delivered the reel in his comedic \u201cFrenchman\u201d persona, despite being Australian.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cOh no, and they even have crazy souvenirs, do they have all these crazy Australian souvenirs in London Court? Is this to celebrate colonialism or what?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Next on the agenda was the iconic Blue Boat House on Mounts Bay Road in Crawley, which the comedian slated as a huge disappointment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI don\u2019t f&#8230;.g get it, blue little sh&#8230;y box of wood. It look like a coffin,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Hauville then tried to knock on the door of the house, asking \u201cHello?\u201d as it remained unanswered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cAll these people line up. It\u2019s like right next to a highway. I thought it was a bear in a big blue house or something,\u201d Hauville added, paying homage to the cult 1990s kids TV show, Bear in the Big Blue House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">\u201cI really don\u2019t understand why you want to worship this f&#8230;.g thing. You have this and you have the cactus. That\u2019s all you have in this city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Some locals commented on the video, sharing their thoughts and theories about Perth\u2019s Big Blue House.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/018d9500bb6f1c4e161849d733d628855fe3a38e.jpg\" alt=\"Hauville is set to perform his show Joshy in Paris at Oasis Comedy Club on Friday night.\" class=\"css-16r7l45-StyledImage en5ut4d0\"\/>Camera IconHauville is set to perform his show Joshy in Paris at Oasis Comedy Club on Friday night.

Still doesn\u2019t explain why people want photos with it though,\u201d commented another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-9cqv6l-StyledPNParagraph e8utp6u0\">Hauville is set to perform his show Joshy in Paris at Oasis Comedy Club on Friday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian comedian and actor Joshua Hauville slammed two well-known Perth landmarks while exploring the city.
