COMMONWEALTH COMEDY TOUR
Presented by The Bailey Theatre Society Friday, September 29, 8:00 pm. Advance tickets $25 ($30 at the door). |
The Commonwealth Comedy Tour brings three professional touring comedians, one Canadian and two Australians, to the Bailey stage.
Chris Franklin is one of Australia’s premier comedy stars. He’s an Aussie bloke, a yobbo or a bogan, from his flannelette shirt to his double plugger thongs. His ‘Hoganesque’ style of comedy appeals to every average Australian and touches on the delicate issues of beer, sport and relationships – he’s also had a number 1 hit single entitled ‘Bloke’. Not bad for someone who can’t sing. Lars Callieou has appeared at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montréal and has a 1-Hour Comedy Special currently airing on The Comedy Network. He's been overseas to entertain the troops 5 times (Kuwait, IRAQ, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and is a 2-Time Canadian Comedy Award Nominee. He can be heard on CBC's Laugh Out Loud, CBC's The Debaters and on Sirius/XM. Ned Townsend is what happens when you photocopy Orlando Bloom and the printer runs out of ink. A comedian since his high school days, Ned has entertained across his island home state of Tasmania organizing comedy nights and supporting some of Australia's best Comedians such as Nick Cody, Dave Hughes, and Chris Franklin. |
