Rod Quantock: Invitation to a Revolution
An inflammatory evening with Australia's premiere political comedian
For 45 years Rod Quantock has been hurling Molotov Cocktails of Mirth at the deserving, cutting through bullshit with his Hatchet of Humour and now, because “everyone has the right to be a bigot”, he is saying things about Tony Abbott that would make a misogynist blush! But enough is enough, says Rod. There's still time for the Revolution.

Dead Teeth
A comedy show by Marc James and Sofie Prints
Dead teeth live to tell stories about the chipping away of life's enamel, and brushing over its absurdities. We explore grinding out the paradigms, and picking out the pieces along the way to the perfect smile. It's somewhat stand up, somewhat storytelling and somewhat a desire for healthy bones and breath in later years... somewhat - shut up I'm talking. Fats to be chewed, chats pursued topics gargled, sick to the back of it, that's the drill.
