Review – Nob Happy Sock
Nob Happy Sock is something of a memoir of Keck’s life up until his suicide attempt, and the show works because, and this is going to sound morbid, but it’s a fascinating tale.

Review – Gravity Boots: Can you believe we’re in a forest?
Can You Believe We’re In A Forest is subtly disturbing and extremely funny, usually at the same time.
Review – Dave Campbell: Insanarchy
Dave Campbell is a bit of a contradiction and a bit of a riddle and a whole lot of funny.
Review – Chopper’s Big Fucken Late Show: Garden the Fuck Up!
Here’s a public service announcement: if the title of the show has “fuck” in it twice, and starts at 11PM, don’t expect it to be pre-schooler appropriate!
Review – Best of the Fest Late Show
heckler doesn’t often post 800 word reviews, but when you’re looking at this calibre of talent it can’t really be helped.
Review – 5:30 Show
While the boys showed promise, they weren’t performing to what would have been their target audience – Gen X and Y – as the crowd consisted of mostly older people. There were funny moments but the jokes fell short the majority of the time and the biggest laugh that was received was prompted by an obviously bored audience member.
Review – Simon Taylor: Funny
Taylor has travelled extensively, and is able to effectively juxtapose his international cultural perspective with local experiences.
Review – Jon Brooks: Shitegeist
At once concerned with both the pursuit of truth and faecal discharge, his pacey performance is both reflective and refreshing, rather like the experience of taking a healthy poo (except instead of being left with a turd we find a golden bar of comedy).
Review – Advertising Death
You’ll laugh, you’ll gasp, you’ll bop your head along to the music, and you might even question your sexuality after the priest performs a hauntingly erotic strip tease.
Review – The Mile High Club
From a particularly adorable story about a dad joke going too far, to a man realising his dream of participating in a threesome with a married couple, all the way through to a character comedian who reminded me of every delusional safety officer I’ve ever worked with, the laughs were always forth coming.
Review – Wolf Creek: The Musical
Hilariously self-aware, the cast unexpectedly shine through the catchy musical numbers and witty jokes.
Review – We’re Kind Of A Big Deal
I laughed. Loudly. It was a little venue. That can be embarrassing.
Review – Mickey D: GOLD
Mickey D doesn’t carefully construct clever jokes, but more seems to start talking in the hope that it eventually ends up somewhere funny – luckily, it almost always does.
10 Quick Qs – Lords of Strut
Famous Seamus agreed to answer our questions if we let his brother Sean-Tastic go. Together they are Lords of Strut and we asked them the tough questions.
Review – Stupid Old Channel launch
What can you expect to find on the Stupid Old Channel? A veritable smorgasbord of funny: the entire comedic spectrum from sketch to stand up and back again to sketch.
