Livingston also wrote the play ''Emma's Nose'' about the relationship of Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Fliess and their patient Emma Eckstein.

In 2014, he replaced Richard Fidler as the guitarist in the reformed Doug Anthony All Stars, and toured with Tim Ferguson and Paul McDermott. ==Flacco== Flacco is a fictional character played by Paul Livingston. Livingston created the character in 1985, when he got up on stage as part of a bet, and the audience mistook his nervousness for a comedic character. Flacco's trademark curl of hair on a pale bald head was originally Livingston's actual hair, until actual baldness forced him to use hairpieces.〔Dowsett, Wayne: (Flacco – six teeth, no hair but looks aren't everything ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 4 November 2005.〕 In 2009, a portrait by Paul Jackson of Livingston in character as Flacco won the Packing Room Prize as part of the Archibald Prize.〔(Packers pick Flacco portrait ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 25 February 2009.〕 Flacco was an outsider whose observations of people took on an almost alien quality. He had a completely bald head with a single stylised (thick) strand of hair and was frequently seen in a suit. He made quick observations often interspersed with incorrect movie, theatre or cultural quotes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Livingston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
