Dave O’Neil

Glenn Robbins and Dave O’Neil

Dave O’Neil has been pondering if things really were better back in his day.

Put two of Australia’s favourite comedians together for a night of hilarious and revealing moments.

Back in my day

Was life really better in the 70s and 80s when every child was called David or Michelle? Are we better off with Tarquin and Forrest? For people over thirty, this show will be a confirmation of every thing they ever thought. For people under thirty, it will be more like a history lesson. daveoneil.com.au

JACK DRUCE

DOUBLE HAPPINESS

A new show from Australia’s youngest comedy veteran about kayaking down the Grand Canyon, an emotionally devastating peach and a game of UNO Jack once played. This is not edgy. He’s quite nice. Still, don’t bring kids.

Bart Freebairn is a really great comedian who will make you laugh with big fat silly jokes full of fancy ideas and ridiculous imagery. Double Happiness is a wonderful show that could potentially give you triple happiness.

Matt Okine

Happiness Not Included Award-winning comedian Matt Okine has spent the past 12 months performing around the world to rave reviews... but awards don’t pay the bills. And reviews don’t keep the lights on. They say money can’t buy happiness, but it will keep you warm at night, especially if you have enough to make a snuggie made out of $50 notes. But what’s the point of wearing a money snuggie if there’s no-one there to tell you how stupid you look in it? Join one of Australia’s emerging comedy stars as he delves into a world where not knowing what you want is sometimes the best... especially when you get it. mattokine.com

Chris Taylor and Andrew Hansen

One Man Show

“Loved it! Especially cos I claimed my ticket as an expense.” Tony Abbott

Those pricks from The Chaser deliver an hour of sketches, songs and potential lawsuits. The Chaser’s War On Everything made Andrew Hansen and Chris Taylor household names – in half a dozen houses belonging to people who already knew them beforehand. Everyone else knows them as ‘those Chaser guys’, or simply ‘those pricks’.

Fun for all ages! But with a particular focus on the 43 to 43-and-a-half year old market.

Now Chris and Andrew present a live showcase of brand new sketches and songs, tipped to feature daring, never-before-seen concepts, such as a Game of Thrones parody and a Kevin Rudd impression.

PETER BERNER

As Not Seen On TV

Peter Berner takes his decades of experience in television and radio… and dumps it all for his first love; stand-up comedy. Pete’s been on TV and radio for more than a decade, so you’ve no doubt seen or heard him. Well, this is nothing like that. Pete’s intelligent humour sets him apart as he comfortably straddles comedy styles, from satire to observational and reactive comedy, with ease. See Berner at his best, prowling the stage and delving into life and the world in ways no other comic does. It’s live, uncensored and handsdown hilarious.

DAMIEN POWER Keit

Widely regarded as one of the top rising stars of Australian comedy, Damien’s shows sell out nationwide. His material has something for everyone, from personal stories, to strong political and social commentary, and everything in between. Having worked around the country for years from pubs and festivals all the way to the Sydney Opera House, Damien can hold any audience in the palm of his hand. We’re not the only ones who think he’s great. Hot off the back of his sold-out 2013 Brisbane Comedy Festival season, Damien was chosen by Jack Black to support Tenacious D on their Australian tour.
