Went and saw Cal Wilson at the Fringe earleir this year her show was very good well worth the 20 odd bucks.
Saw the Scared Weird Little Guys at the Fringe a couple of years ago, love the way that mix the words of one song to the tune of another, and great to see the Melody Pop being used in a stage performance!!
Watched the Adam Hills "Live in the suburbs" DVD a few nights ago, had heard him tell some of the same stories on TV but still quite amusing if you like his work.
Trust the process.

What did we think of Rebel's show Bogan Pride tonight?

Saw Adam Hills DVD last night, thought it was very funny. One of my favourite comedians though is Jimmy Carr. Dead pan one liners at their best.

Beyond awful.

But to be expected from The Wedge alumni.

Hopefully it's the last we ever see of this grossly unfunny turd.

That's both Rebel Wilson and the show...

I would love to see Jimmy Carr live. Seen a lot of his stuff via youtube/dvds but he'd be very funny to actually see in the flesh.

Dave Hughes was very funny in his early days.
There's an Adelaide comedian called Rich Neighbour who's kinda funny too. Only cos he grew up in Smithfield ;)

I have a mate called Yianni - he's currently in London but if he's ever in town, you should catch him too. I've seen him perform a couple of times. Great stuff.

If you ever get the chance, you should check out the Melbourne Comedy Festival Road Show. Each year about five of the comedians from the MCF tour the country areas of SA and perform. Usually a very pi*s funny night. They often put a show on in Tanunda, so it's not too far out of town for you cityites either.


Rich Neighbourhood was my school teacher during my high school years. very very very very very funny man. Just spend 15 minutes with him at the Elizabeth Downs Pub and you will have a six pack from all the laughing

Ross Noble is fantastic, brilliant live.

Jimmy Carr is also very, very funny. Especially his tv show Distraction.

Eddie Murphy in his live DVD's Raw and Delirious are absolute classics

Delirious is excellent, but IMHO Raw is as bad it gets, just terrible.
