Five good reasons to see Lawrence Mooney – Surely Not

1. I’m Lawrence Mooney, so you get guaranteed laughs with requisite amounts of filth and philosophy.

2. Surely Not is at the beautiful Forum Theatre. It is a divine Melbourne location and you’ll be wowed and amazed by the glorious decor.

3. It’s about death which doesn’t sound very comic but is and better still it’s incredibly life affirming and piss funny. (Two reasons in one.)

4. There’s a wonderful choir in it too. So there’s a little bit of time to have a cry cry. Bring a tissue.

5. It’s what the properly cool people will be doing but you should still come anyway.

Lawrence Mooney performs Surely Not at the Forum Theatre from now to 5 April, then at the Melbourne Town Hall 14 to 19 April.

5 GOOD REASONS TO SEE MARTIN DUNLOP: ALL CHANGE IS DEATH

1. Your mother has promised you to a wealthy old landowner, and you crave a night’s respite from his cruel bluster and ill-fitting wooden teeth.

2. You’re a doctor seeking shelter from weeping families and their many questions.

3. You’re a tall drink of water, clad in flannel and barely-contained sexual energy, free for the night from the sweet-and-sour approaches of your much-widowed employer.

4. You’re a con-man who had to assume the role of a priest 25 years ago, but circumstance kept you in the vestments when the game went south.

5. You’ve a quick hand and a cute smile, but one glimpse of those limpid blues’ll tell even the stiffest boozehound you’re just no damn good.

Martin Dunlop: All Change Is Death is on at Tuxedo Cat from April 9-19. For more information and bookings visit:

5 Good Reasons to see 3 States of Comedy.

1. Offering 3 different comedians from 3 different States with 3 Different styles. 3 States of Comedy is an ideal way to start your evening at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Gabe Hogan offers her unique point of view, former footballer Evan Hocking gives an insight into his family life growing up and Geoff Setty’s jokes hit you right between the eyes with rapid fire punchlines and concepts.

2. 3 States of Comedy is like a delicious three course meal served up for your senses. And if you don’t like one course, the next one comes along in just fifteen minutes.

3. At the start time of 6PM, this is a great way to get your comedy juices flowing before checking out your recognised favourites and international acts. This twenty seat room offers an intimate setting to see these three fight out this Comedy “State of Origin”.

4. Evan needs to find another way to get the adrenaline flowing since his footy career went down the tubes. Hopefully his body can hold up to the rigours of 12 action packed shows in 13 nights. Recovery is going to be the key.

5. It’s an hour out of your life and well worth the punt and if they don’t get a decent crowd their families will keep asking if they’re ever going to get over “this comedy thing”, or are they going to get ‘real jobs’.

3 States of Comedy is on at The Downstairs Lounge @ The Grand Mercure Hotel

5 Good Reasons to See Toby Halligan – The Bad Gay

1. I’m a founding member of and co-run Political Asylum, Australia’s best political comedy room, and we have a Prime Minister who Knights Princes and eats raw onions for dares. Come and have fun at the expense of all of us.

2. I write jokes professionally for The Project on Channel 10 and Legally Brown on SBS.

3. There’s dancing. It’ll be terrible but life-affirming.

4. There’s a love story. It’s crazy and funny.

5. It’s almost inevitable that the computers and or aliens will enslave humanity at some point in the near future, dooming us to an eternity of peat mining and/or tentacle massaging. So we might as well enjoy ourselves while we can.
