Dave O’Neil Back in my day

dave o’neil has been pondering if things really were better back in his 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.

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.

In 1992, Sarah Kendall was forced to play Women’s touch football. She accidentally made history as one-tenth of the greatest under-14s team ever assembled.

One of the hottest talents on the international comedy circuit, Sarah has performed at many of the world’s leading comedy festivals including Montreal, Kilkenny, Edinburgh, Melbourne and Hong Kong and has sold out shows in London, New York, Berlin and Norway.

Don’t miss this world-class Aussie comic in her return to the local festival circuit.

KeitWidely 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.
