Aussie takeover
Nick Elleray: Big Nick Energy (WIP)
A Work In Progress show from Award-winning comic Nick Elleray – ‘quality downbeat comedy’ (Chortle.co.uk). Nick goes looking for the joy in life. Will he find it? Spoiler alert: probably not. ‘Brilliant, astute observational comedy about middle-aged life’ (Adam Bloom).
John Robertson’s THE DARK ROOM
The Dark Room is the high-octane, text-based adventure game show from improv overlord John Robertson. Filled with stand-up, appalling prizes and more audience chanting than you’d get at a protest – this is a gut-busting rock n’ roll experience for everyone who buys a ticket.
Laura Davis: Better Dead Than a Coward (WIP)
Dark, bold and razor sharp Australian comedian Laura Davis is internationally critically acclaimed as one of the most unique comedic voices around. Unconventional, cathartic and exhilaratingly hilarious, this is her brand-new hour. ‘A different kind of provocative… smart, challenging, ambitious, playful and funny.’ (Chortle)
Sarah Kendall: Paper Planes (WIP)
Multi award-winning comedian Sarah Kendall returns to Edinburgh with a spellbinding hour of storytelling. Paper Planes is the latest offering from the writer and star of the acclaimed Radio 4 series Australian Trilogy. Stories that are by turns moving, funny, and usually a bit depressing in places. ‘Phenomenal storytelling, funny and soulful by turns, this is comedy that restores your sense of wonder’ (Chortle.co.uk).
Work-in-progress show for the hotly anticipated Edinburgh debut from rising Australian comedian and ‘bit of a bitch’, Brodi Snook. A show woven together with low energy charm, laser sharp writing and wall-to-wall gall. As heard on TalkRadio and BBC Radio 4 Extra. Tour support for Ardal O’Hanlon.
Best Show Nominee, Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2016. Best Show Winner, Sydney Comedy Festival 2017. Tom spent 2018 hosting his own late-night satirical TV show, Tonightly with Tom Ballard, and watching the neo-liberal order continue to destroy our collective future. Now he’s written some very funny jokes about all that and he wants to sell them to you for money because that’s what capitalism demands.
