Event Duration: 180 minutes
What would Australian comedy be without the likes Dame Edna, Sharon Strezleki and Mr G? Like a burger without meat. Like a footy game without a mêlée. Like a pub without smokes. WEAK. That’s what.
Character Comedy is like a theme park for personalities; a character-coaster of Australia's best comedians introducing you to their most hilarious, ridiculous, grotesque and absurd imaginary friends. We've taken up residence at the Bella Union for our 10th season, and you'll be able to see us on the 3rd Sunday of every month.
Check out our line-up for 20 September ...
Melbourne's own award winning Prince of Cabaret Wes Snelling comperes as Tina Del Twiste, the velvet draped Madame who sings the blues/jazz live combined with an impressive dry wit. Not bitter, but quite twisted, Tina has a life of her own.
Nelly Thomas (ADBC, SBS TV) as Jamie.
Rachel Leary as Nancy Browne ("Nance from the Country").
Tom Long (East of Everything, ABC TV) as Billy Blanc
Rachael Maza Long (Black Arm Band) as Candice
plus the sketch-tacular hit of the Comedy Festival: VIGILANTELOPE!
Oh and there’s even a sausage sizzle, full bar and the joyous surrounds of the best collaborative venue in town: the Bella Union
