I wanna see Steven Wright but...

A) I don't think I can afford it

B) I think it's sold out

Want to go but haven't decided on who, as yet.

Saw Ross Noble a couple of years ago, and the guy is crazy funny. Daniel Kitson is also brilliant, but Steven Wright is the king.

Have heard good things about Demitri Martin, so I may give him a go this year.

I too would like to wish greviously bodily harm upon Hughesy - no talent wanker with questionable hygiene.

Word on Arj Barker Friday - The Marjiuanalogues were so farkin good...

Post by **breaksRbest** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 6:10 pm

it's the most 'put on' strayan accent I've ever heard

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 6:12 pm

He's like the long lost love child of Alf from Home & Away and Pauline Hanson...

PLEASE EXPLAIN!

Post by **Friday** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 6:13 pm

Got tix to Daniel Kitsen, should be grand.

ruby · Post by **ruby** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 8:32 pm

^^^ Was thinking of seeing Kitsen also but I don't know if I'll have time :S

Hughsey is the biggest mysogynist fucktard to ever slime out of Perth! Very unfunny and very very unpleasant to look at

johnnynostars · Post by **johnnynostars** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 8:33 pm

I saw Arj Barker and Sean Lock on Sunday.

Both were H I L A R I O U S! Arj's best show I have seen yet. He still uses some of the same jokes though, which annoys me 'cos he doesn't need to.

FYI for cheap tickets check Halftix (near the Town Hall, Swanston St entrance). Plus there are specials on most comedy festival shows on Tightarse Tuesdays.

Cried myself to sleep last night with the knowledge that neither this, nor any other comedy festival ever, will ever play host to that genius Bill Hicks.

So much RAGE.

On the other hand, I'm hanging to see Bill Bailey. Couldn't get enuff of him on Black Books.

I hear Danny Bhoy is funny. I hate Dave Hughes too, cant stand his bogan voice!!!!!!

i reckon dave hughes is hilarious, most of the time.

could quite easily overdose on his style though.

anyone catch the comedy gala last night? they shoulda had fewer acts, go for longer.

Hicks was here at the '93 comedy festival. If only I'd known about him then. He doesn't seem to do many shows these days

Daniel Kitson for me too this year

I saw Tripod - Lady Robots v1.1 on the weekend. Very funny, there's heaps of nerd humour in it. They also swear more on stage that on Rove-dominated television.

Only $25, went for about 70 minutes, recommend it!

I'm biased, as a relative is doing Danny Bhoy and Bill Bailey.

Ross Noble and Daniel Kitson are always a cack though!

elysium · Post by **elysium** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 5:14 pm

Going to see Ross Noble on the 15th - yay!

Motive · Post by **Motive** » Tue Apr 05, 2005 6:12 pm

Arj barker, i ain't sure he's that funny. he tries hard but he misses the mark for me. Daniel Kitson is good, he's like an old friend who makes an annual visit. got tickets for Gamarjabart. Danny Bhoy was good at the gala, as was that Dimitri guy, definitely getting tix for those shows...

Hahahah I made the stupid mistake of taking my girlfriend (who's German, she has trouble with fast English) to see Daniel Kitson, she lost him in the first sentence and from then on it was *jab jab* *whisper* "I don't understand him." ... *jab jab* *whisper* "What did he just say? Why is he making funny hand gestures like that?"
