Rob brydon announces 2023 australian tour.

Award winning British comedian Rob Brydon and his eight-piece band will head down under next year with his new show, 'A Night of Songs and Laughter'.

The tour begins on 11 March 2023 in Canberra, before heading to Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.

“A Night of Songs and Laughter” follows on from the success of Brydon’s 2019 sell out tour of Australia and marks the comedian’s first venture into creating a show that includes music alongside his wit and comedy.

Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around Melbourne  here .

Brydon’s varied career began with TV comedy shows like “Marion and Geoff” and “Human Remains” in 2000, for which he won several British Comedy Awards. Since then, his name has been synonymous with British comedy through shows like “Black Books” and “I’m Alan Partridge”, as well as expanding into hosting duties on panel shows like “Would I Lie To You?” and even to cinema, with films such as “The Trip” with Steve Coogan to name a few.

Ever multi-talented, Brydon has also made a successful forray into music. In 2009 alongside Ruth Jones, Robin Gibb and Sir Tom Jones, Brydon reached number one in the UK charts with the single “Islands in The Stream”, in aid of the British charity Comic Relief.

Featuring an eclectic mix of music, with songs from Tom Waits to Tom Jones, and  Guys and Dolls  to Elvis (and almost everything in between) audiences can expect Brydon’s usual warmth and humour, as well as some of his gallery of voices and impressions in his new show.

Pre-sale tickets are available from 11am Tuesday 30 August via  livenation.com.au  and general sale tickets to be released on 12pm Wednesday 31 August.

JUMP TO:    DAVID O'DOHERTY   |   LEO REICH   |   MARK WATSON   |   J OSIE LONG   |   CARL DONNELLY   |   PAUL FOOT

DAVID O'DOHERTY (IRE) TINY PIANO MAN 

The dishevelled prince of the $15 eBay keyboard tries to make you feel alive with a new pageant of laughter, song and occasionally getting up from his chair. It's gonna be a big one. Star of  8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown  (Channel 4),  Live At The Apollo  (BBC) and  Along For the Ride with David O’Doherty  (Channel 4/SBS).

‘Live comedy doesn't get much better’ ★★★★½ The Age

SYDNEY | Sydney Comedy Festival  Tuesday 25 April Enmore Theatre

LEO REICH (UK) LITERALLY WHO CARES? 

AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer Nominee 2022

At last, self-diagnosed important young mind Leo Reich is ready to share some of his notoriously perfect opinions with Australia. Join this insufferable hunk as he ponders our collective future and asks the big questions. ‘Am I hot?’ ‘Is this helping?’ And, ‘No offence guys but literally what is going on?’.

★★★★★ TIME OUT UK

SYDNEY | Sydney Comedy Festival  Wednesday 26 April Factory Theatre

MARK WATSON (UK) SEARCH

Mark Watson's 12-year-old son has just got a phone. His 70-year-old dad has been through the most frightening experience of his life. Both a dad and a kid himself, around the midpoint of his life, the  Taskmaster  star and multiple award-winner returns to consider the search for meaning that we're all on, with or without Google. 

★★★★★ Time Out

SYDNEY | Sydney Comedy Festival Thursday 27 April  The Comedy Store

JOSIE LONG (UK) RE-ENCHANTMENT 

‘After defeat, re-enchantment is necessary’, said Lola Olufemi. This thought inspires Josie Long’s brand new hour of stand-up infused with humanity, compassion and probably some brief political rants. The triple Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, underdog Fringe hero and delirious new mother (the first person to have two babies) returns.

‘‘The motherlode of love, joy and laughs.' ★★★★’  Guardian (UK)

‘‘‘Rowdy, brilliant, sweary, beautiful, funny.' ★★★★’  Chortle (UK)

SYDNEY | Sydney Comedy Festival Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 April  Factory Theatre

CARL DONNELLY (UK) THE DEAD DAD SHOW

Apparently the three most stressful life events are bereavement, moving house and divorce. Well, funny story. Last July, Carl’s dad died the night before he was due to move. Smart and hilariously honest, the fearless Londoner unpacks the worst month of his life (since his divorce that is).

‘Gut-busting laughs. ★★★★’  The List (UK)

SYDNEY | Sydney Comedy Festival Saturday 29 & Sunday 30 April  Enmore Theatre

PAUL FOOT (UK) SWAN POWER

Paul explores topics including a potential solution to the problem of online trolling, the massively underwhelming sex drive of pandas and a full re-enactment of the film  Titanic  (severely abridged).

'Like a rare exotic bird, he's special.'  The Daily Express (UK)

'Sublime, original, brilliant.'  The Independent (UK)

Testimonials

“ “ Walking through the doors of the Rhino Room always reminds me of what I like about comedy. In the dirty little green room all are equal. Reputations are left at the door. New comics swap punch-lines with people you would normally only see on the TV. But if a comedian is killing on stage, then the backstage empties and every comic is found side stage, watching, laughing, riding the energy of the gig. The outside world doesn’t exist. It’s all about the show. ” Wil Anderson

“ “ I love the Rhino Room because it’s the best comedy room in Adelaide. As for the bar … I can always remember walking in but I can never remember walking out. Too much fun. ” Tom Gleeson Gold Logie Winner, Hard Chat and Hard Quiz

“ “ What I love about the Adelaide Comedy Gigs is that apart from the providing the opportunity to see top-line comedy acts at about half the price you would pay to see them during the Fringe. There’s somewhere I can go to forget my troubles for a few hours and have a good laugh. It’s the best form of therapy I know! And as a regular comedygoer, it’s fascinating to watch the comedians (and even individual jokes) develop over time. Plus there’s the satisfaction of knowing that when some of the current crew make it big (which they will), I’ll be able to say “I saw them before they were famous…” ” David Hyland

“ “ I love Adelaide Comedy because it is a symbol of fun, laughter, friendship and family. It has given me so many wonderful memories in the past few years, and I know it will always be a part of my laugh, whether I be behind the scenes or in the audience. So much love for AC and everyone who help to make it happen. ” Lauren ‘Lolly Dolly’ Thiel

“ “ The Rhino Room is not only a great venue to see comedy; it’s also THE place to go for a drink if you want to view the comedians in their natural habitat. ” Arj Barker

“ “ The perfect comedy oasis for great comics to play and create. ” Greg Fleet

Jimmy Carr – Australian Tour 2023

One of the best loved comedians in the world,  Jimmy Carr  is returning to Australia for a national tour in February 2023.  Tickets go on sale  Monday 27 June at 9am .

Terribly Funny  contains jokes about all kinds of terrible things.  Terrible things that might have affected you or people you know and love.  But they’re just jokes – they are not the terrible things.  Jokes are little lies.  Nothing more than wonderful, funny, joyful tricks, constructed from language.

“Jimmy Carr slays…” Rolling Stone

Jimmy  will be telling jokes to an adult paying audience who’ve got a good idea what’s in store.  And there’s no point to the show, save for to make the audience laugh.  Having political correctness at a comedy show is like having health and safety at a rodeo.  Now you’ve been warned, enjoy the laughs.

Jimmy Carr  has been a comedian for over a decade and a half.  He’s performed  10 sell-out tours , playing over  2500 shows  to more than  2.5 million people .  He’s won the  British Comedy Award  for  Best Live Stand-Up Tour , and been nominated for the  Perrier Award.   His most recent stand-up comedy special was the most streamed on  Netflix  in the UK in 2021.

“Jimmy Carr is a world-class comedian…I envy his brilliance with words” Independent

His television credits include over  20 series  as host of panel show  8 Out Of 10 Cats,  18 series of spin-off  8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown  and 10 years presenting Channel 4’s  Big Fat Quiz Of The Year .  He has also hosted three series of  Roast Battle  on  Comedy Central UK  and recorded his own  Netflix panel show,  The Fix , in 2019, with all episodes available to stream now.

The  Terribly Funny  tour kicked off in May 2019 and will visit every corner of the UK and Ireland before heading off to Australia and New Zealand.
