Laurence Clark: Spastic Fantastic!
LAURENCE CLARK
World Premiere
A comedian with cerebral palsy reclaims the word ‘spastic’ through a series of hilarious stand-up routines and hidden camera stunts. “Has the same kind of warmth and likeability as Adam Hills… quite brilliant and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny” (4 stars) The Scotsman. “…a wit drier than the Navajo desert and scores of fizzingly funny one-liners." The Stage.

ANDREW BIRD: THIS IS TEN YEARS FROM NOW
Andrew Bird
World Premiere
Realising he left school a decade ago, Andrew Bird wonders if he's an adult yet. The move from small town to big city and school friends becoming dads hasn’t changed anything. He still uses a shopping trolley like a go-kart and thinks he's back at school in September. "One of the hottest prospects in stand-up." Time Out. “Fast, fluid and animated.” Chortle
