Schalk Bezuidenhout is back with a brand new show.  His first and (hopefully, for the love of all things good) only show post divorce. Schalk hasn’t checked in with you all in sometime and he wants to talk to you.  Actually… he NEEDS to talk to you! Why? Because it’s cheaper than therapy. That’s why!  Rapid-fire gags and manic energy. Highly recommended. ★★★★ —The Age As seen on Netflix and Comedy Central.

Approximate Running Times: Doors Open: 6:45pm Start Time: 7:30pm Finish Time: 10:00pm Just back from a sold out UK and Ireland tour, much loved comedian and singer/songwriter Kevin Bloody Wilson is set to embark on his new Aussie Icon Tour performing his funniest songs, hilarious stories and shooting down political correctness for audiences around Australia. I love being on stage when every bugger in the audience knows every word to my songs. I now call them my DILLIGAF CHOIR I donot think there is a bigger choir in the world than the Kevin Bloody Wilson DILLIGAF CHOIR said Kevin today. Kevs favourite support act (and his daughter) Jenny Talia from Australia will be the first on stage every night to make sure the audience is warmed up by performing all her hits. With 350 million TikTok views, 4 million records sold and 6 million ticket sales around the World, Kevin Bloody Wilson is not slowing down. There is too much political correctness to incorrect .

What happens when a well-meaning comedian makes a cheeky joke about ISIS… during a live interview with Tim Cahill… on national TV… right before a World Cup qualifier against Honduras? A full-blown international incident, apparently. In this hilariously outrageous true story, Pete Helliar finds himself at the centre of a media firestorm after a throwaway line on The Project goes global. It’s a wild, hilarious deep dive into intent, outrage, and the terrifying power of one well-timed punchline. Was Pete off side—or just ahead of the game? “This is pro-comedy.” ★★★★★ — The AU Review “Peter Helliar makes the difficult business of being funny look dead easy.” — Adelaide Advertiser Recommended for ages 15+ Doors open 6pm Show starts 6:30pm All times subject to change ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.

Approximate Running Times: Doors: 4:30pm Start: 5:00pm Due to popular demand, Tom Gleeson will return for a second show! Hard Quiz host. Taskmaster Australia host. Gold Logie winner. 5 times AACTA winner. Tom Gleeson is completely out of touch. His head is up his arse. Come along to the show and take him down a peg. Prepare for an hour of non stop laughter. Time Out If revenge is a dish best served cold, the tasty morsels Tom Gleeson has been chilling in the deep freeze for years should safely earn him a Michelin star The Age Tom Gleeson is a gold plated comedy superstar, hosting ratings smashes and filling theatres across the country. He is played rowdy RSLs and filled the Sydney Opera House. There is not a corner of this country that he has not performed in. Given his natural disdain for the public, Tom could not resist the chance to apply it to his fellow comedians as the host of Network Tens sixth season of Taskmaster Australia. .
