The line-up of comedians for Kingaroy’s big Drought Relief fundraising night has been released.
The crazy adults-only night will be held at the home of the Kingaroy Red Ants – T.J. O’Neill Oval – on November 3.
The Brisbane comedians who are coming to town for the night promise an evening of fun and they’ll be backed up with entertainment from local band RiSA.
The line-up:
Jasmine Fairbairn – Originally hailing from Canada, Jasmine was let loose in Australia four years ago and began her comedy career not long afterwards. As well as being a regular on ABC Radio, Jasmine runs Knockoff Comedy at the Brisbane Powerhouse, and has supported Fiona O’Laughlin, Greg Fleet and Mel Buttle.
Clayton Storey – Clayton started trying out stand-up out comedy four years ago as an attempt to become a better actor … but instead he developed a new obsession where he could draw upon his rather ridiculous (and sometimes unfortunate) life experiences for the entertainment of others. Clayton and Jasmine co-wrote and starred in a stage play ‘”Undertow” at Metro Arts this September which received nine awards at the Sunshine Coast Theatre Festival and KSP Theatre Festival.
Nicchia Schutt – Nicchia is a born-and-bred country girl who still knows how to muster sheep, hates flies, and is obsessed with Doctor Who. She is a safety officer by day and comedian by night, with a distinctive dark humour. Nicchia has performed stand-up at venues in Brisbane, Perth and the Gold Coast, and recently performed Neighbourhood Watching, her show with fellow comedian Beck Buckingham at Bris Funny Fest.
Andrew Dawson – Andrew started his comedy career providing warm-up for live TV broadcasts including The Voice and Fox Footy. He performed his debut stand-up show, Ambien Excuses – a show about life lessons – earlier this year. It includes stories from growing up in Tasmania, the time he was one of the stars of a Highway Patrol episode, and the pitfalls of trying to bribe Israeli soldiers to cross a border.
Lauren Randall – Lauren is a single 20-something librarian that (somewhat) proudly encapsulates everything wrong with Gen Y. She has performed stand-up across Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coas and guarantees she’ll make you laugh the way you might when you see someone who falls but isn’t seriously injured.
The comedy night is being supported by AGL, Graham House Community Centre, and event hosts the Kingaroy Red Ants.
All proceeds will be going to Graham House to support primary producers across the South Burnett.
Tickets are $40 per head and are available at Raine & Horne, Kingaroy; Somethings Country, Kingaroy; and Graham House, Murgon; or call Simon on 0408-459-524.
