This is a comedy event not to be missed by anyone with a sense of humour. Featuring so many acts, you will "split your sides laughing", and it will be difficult to pick just a few to go to as so many look so good.

[b]LIST OF ACTS**

[b] 1. JAMES VALENTINE[/b]
Afternoons Tonight - James Valentine comes direct from sell-out seasons on the East Coast. He has been on ABC Radio Sydney for the last twenty years and his show is funny because his callers are hilarious. They're bizarre and they tell him all the weird stuff that happens in their life.

James will share his best, worst and most intriguing callers from his Afternoons radio show, and then have a live session of talk back.

Afternoons Tonight! is a fantastically funny and interactive night, and a great insight into how talk radio really works!

These guys will be performing in nothing but tennis shoes and it is an extremely funny show.
