Livin’ The Sweet Life – DeAnne Smith
2. Since you’re a comedian, is there a lot of pressure to be funny on a first date?
I love how you assume I go on first dates.

The Shelf – Justin Hamilton & Adam Richard
Our compare was the incomparable Adam Richards, who got more and more outlandish as the night progressed, perhaps due to his self proclaimed love of alcohol and the inability to say no to people, once even coming on stage shirtless to announce the next act!
Nothing to Declare (Rien à déclarer)
Benoît Poelvoorde gives us the hilarious Ruben Vandavoorde, a Belgium customs officer who’s disdain for the French is probably only matched by his hatred of drug smugglers. As comic-fate would have it, the newly formed Eurozone needs a unified customs team and Vandavoorde has to team up with Mathais Ducatel (played by Dany Boon himself), who, to add to the hilarity, also happens to be his brother-in-law.
Troubadour – Asher Treleaven
1. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less!
An autobiographical show that asks if my life is interesting enough to talk about for an hour.
The Axis of Awesome – Lee Naimo
6. When and/or why did you decide to become a comedian?
I wanted to be a lawyer but my parents constantly pressured me to get into the arts. “Make sure you study how to be a singing clown so you have a backup career” they’d say. They were right.
Review – Anne Edmonds in My Banjo’s name is Steven
Perhaps it was early-in-the-season jitters, but Anne’s timing was slightly off at times during this, her

Review – Munfred Bernstein’s Cabinet of Wonder
Picture this: you’re at the local on a Sunday night and the old guy who’s been propped up against the bar since Thursday is regaling you with tall tales of love, boyhood, and his travels to “all five corners of the world”.
Review – Ross Noble – Nonsensory Overload
Ross Noble has been lauded as one of the best current stand-up comedians – and this is no overstatement.
Review – Craig Hill – Why Don’t You Come Down The Front?
How many times in a gig do you think you’d need to be reminded that the man in the hot pink kilt parading in front of you is gay? Hill himself seemed to think that constantly reminding his audience of it was the best possible use of his time on stage.
Review – Dr Brown Brown Brown Brown
Heckler can safely say that we were out-heckled by the people in this audience – the kids! They just loved Dr. Brown.
Review – Barry Morgan’s World of Organs
Oh the humble organ – who would have thought that a man stuck in a time warp with a 100% polyester Safari suit could have made it kind of cool? But somehow, Barry Morgan’s World of Organs makes me feel like bringing the old dusty organ out and trying Barry’s signature one-finger method for myself.
