I ventured into the western suburbs to an Adelaide Comedy night at the Marion Hotel last Wednesday night.



A large, enthusiastic crowd had already gathered at this down to earth venue, which seems like it was purpose built for comedy. Pool tables, cool music, good priced meals and even a Galactica machine from the 80's kept the punters occupied before the show began. I also like the way you can eat a meal there while you are watching the show from a variety of seating options.



MC Fabien Clark, looking like a surfie who stole a suit, was hilarious with his stories about his kids and family relationships. From the quick-witted Leigh Qurban, the self-deprecating local Deb Bland, the edgy, unsettling 'hard-core' Damo and the 'thinking man's comic' Angus Hodge; all the comedians offered something different, in their own unique style.



The rapid-fire format kept the crowd amused and interested, and was followed by the headline act, Heath Franklin as his alter-ego 'Chopper'. The master of putdowns, Chopper launched into a tirade on subjects as diverse as politics, flying, boat people, Kiwis, getting older, reality TV, coffee tables, Bear Grills and fast food. One of the audience decided to get in on the act and Chopper handled it with aplomb, with a series of great comebacks.



Six comedians plus a very funny MC for only $15 was terrific value. Adelaide Comedy has a great range of comedians coming up including Dave Callan, Randy, Jason Chong, Justin Hamilton, Peter Berner and Mikey Robbins. And with a choice of venues and days at either the Rhino Room, Marion Hotel or the Arkaba you'd be silly to miss out!
