What's That!? with Lindsay Webb



The phrase 'hardest working comedian' gets bandied about a lot, but it's never been truer than when applied to Brisbane based comedian Lindsay Webb . This year alone, the master of mirth has performed at 254 stand-up gigs and he's not done yet!

Each year for the last ten years Lindsay has written and toured a new hour of comedy around Australia and his new routine is about to kick off its first trial shows in Brisbane's Sit Down Comedy Club at the Paddo Tavern this December.

"During the year I start to think of the concepts and ideas for the pieces for the show," Lindsay reveals, "and then this tail end of the year I write down the headings of what those bits are and then I go to my trial show and impro those bits out on stage, then hone them in, tighten them up and they're ready for the festivals."

After the trial shows, Lindsay usually ends up with around fifty minutes of material. As comics go, he's one of the best improvisers on the scene, and he loves to leave movement for improv' in his set, explaining that no two crowds are the same, and leaving space for improv' allows him to adjust his show to suit.

If you've ever seen him in action, you may have witnessed the power of Lindsay's improv' skills. I've seen him turn a cold, quiet audience into one bursting with laughter within five minutes. He's won over hecklers and drunkards and audiences who've hated every other act on the bill. All that improv' means that every show he performs has some unique elements to it.



As for the theme of his new show, Lindsay says, "I'm going to be delving into some pretty personal stuff and not in a bleak or dark way.

"It's my kind of reflections on the things that I've overlooked to do what I've done and the things that I think other people should overlook.

"I really think as humans we've got a lot to show and share and I don't think we are. I think we're closing up and bottling off so I'm exploring all of that stuff along with all of my usual silly observations of stuff that's happening around the place."

If you'd like to laugh yourself silly at Lindsay's silly observations or you'd just love to see a great comic honing his new show before anyone else in Australia gets to see it, head along to the Sit Down Comedy Club on Wednesday 2nd, 9th or 16th of December. The fully licensed venue also serves yummy pub grub so why not turn up hungry and have dinner and a show?
