  • Brisbane Comedy Festival Returns in 2020
    MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday 26 November 2019 BRISBANE COMEDY FESTIVAL RETURNS IN 2020 Brisbane Comedy Festival enters its second big decade in 2020, playing in more venues, welcoming more international stars, promoting more local talent and bringing more laughs than ever before. A highlight of the international comedy calendar, Brisbane Comedy Festival 2020 returns for its 11th year with a bumper line-up of 85 acts playing in 14 performance spaces across five Brisbane venues from 21 February to 22 March, 2020. Brisbane Powerhouse is comedy central, hosting performances and gigs across its iconic New Farm space – from its rooftop to its storeroom – with Brisbane City Hall and Newstead Brewing Co again throwing open their doors to entertainers. Joining the fold for the first time are two new Fortitude Valley venues: the old-world charm of The Tivoli and the shiny newness of Fortitude Music Hall. The month-long festival of fun and frivolity begins with the popular Brisbane Comedy Festival Opening Gala, hosted by a soon-to-be-revealed act who will attempt to corral the comedic chaos of more than 9 comedians at Brisbane City Hall on Friday 21 February. The festival again shines the spotlight on top Queensland talent including Mel Buttle, Steph Tisdell, Becky Lucas and Matt Okine; local collectives Act/React, Brisburned and Politics in the Pub; and the dazzling return of a ‘90s icon – Agro with Jamie Dunn. Grin, giggle and guffaw with a slate of national comedy heavyweights such as Dave Hughes, Peter Helliar, Fiona O’Loughlin, Nazeem Hussein, Frank Woodley, Sammy J and the duo we never knew we needed: Paul McDermott and Steven Gates.

  • Pork Filled Productions, While Still Retaining Their Sketch Comedy Work Under the Pork Filled Players Name
    PoprPoodrkrkuc Fitionlleds Asian American Theatre Pork Filled History The Pork Filled Players burst onto the Seattle scene in 1998, blending com- munity activism with theatrical passion. Founded by Wally Glenn, David Kobayashi, Roger Tang, and Ellen Williams (who later found TV sitcom stardom on such shows as How I Met Your Mother), the Players focused their efforts toward a (then) rarely seen medium in Asian American theater: Asian American comedy. The Players established a unique voice in the Seattle Asian American community, becoming artists in resi- dence at the Northwest Asian American Theatre, and writing and producing late night sketch comedy shows. They also spread into the wider sketch comedy commu- nity, as peers of such fabled groups as Mike Daisey’s Up In You Grill, Bald Faced Lie, and The Habit. They were charter performers at the first Seattle SketchFest, the nation’s longest-running sketch comedy festival, and hold the current record for the most return appearanc- es in the festival. During this time, they also toured throughout the Pacific Northwest, appearing in festivals such as Bumbershoot, the Seattle Fringe Festival, and Vancouver BC’s SketchOff@%#?, the first International Asian Canadian/American sketch comedy competition. Seeking new horizons to conquer, in 2007, the Players staged their first full-length play and went on to produce several more, including the Northwest premiere of Yellow Face, a timely farce of mistaken racial identity by Tony Award winner David Henry Hwang. Meanwhile, they still maintained their presence as Seattle’s longest-running sketch comedy group with regular full-length sketch comedy shows and hosting Spam*O*Rama, a comedy & music cabaret.

BY OWEN KEEHNEN It’s tough to out-butch Christy Webber. The small-town girl from Montrose, Mich. (near Flint), grew up loving to hunt, fish, skate and snowmobile. The outdoors was her playground. As a teen she was the National Powder Puff Motorcross Champion. She attended college at the University of Denver, where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in physical education and played sports for the university, most notably Wilson as a star on the women’s basketball team. After college Webber worked briefly as a P.E. teacher, Cruz at but always felt she had some bigger contribu- tion to make. Soon after, she discovered that Roosevelt page 7 something and over the next two decades Web- ber has made an impressive name for herself in Chicago with her landscaping business. Jennie Rule met Christy Webber eight years ago at Girlbar on North Halsted. That night, Rule recalls coming down the stairs and being first captivated by Webber’s white shoes. At first glance she thought, “Thank God; finally a lesbian with some fashion sense!” At that point in her life, Rule had been with a couple of women, but was looking to go back to men. In the months to come, Webber would change all that.

  • The Joke's on Everyone with Brisbane Comedy Festival
    MEDIA RELEASE For immediate release THE JOKE’S ON EVERYONE WITH BRISBANE COMEDY FESTIVAL RETURNING IN 2021! 2020 – Worst. Punchline. Ever. In news that’s sure to put a smile on your dial, Brisbane Powerhouse is tickled pink to announce Brisbane Comedy Festival will return in 2021. The three-week-long festival of laughs and live gigs returns to Brisbane Powerhouse, The Tivoli and The Fortitude Valley Music Hall on the new dates of 16 July to 8 August 2021. In a welcome boost for the Australian entertainment industry, Brisbane Powerhouse is calling for Expressions of Interest (EOI) from comedians and artists who want to join the star-studded 2021 line-up. Brisbane Powerhouse Artistic Director Kris Stewart said moving Brisbane Comedy Festival to the second half of the year allowed time to plan a huge return to the spotlight after the laughs were cut short when COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 Festival’s final week. “Let’s face it, after everything 2020 has thrown us, we need a laugh and more importantly, our top comedians need an audience – and an income – after months of venue lockdowns and cancelled gigs,” Mr Stewart said. “Border closures and travel restrictions mean international acts will most likely not tour Australia as part of the comedy festival circuit in 2021. “But as every Brisbane Comedy Festival demonstrates, year after year, some of the world’s best comedic talent is right here in Australia and we can’t wait to welcome them back to our stage.” Comedians keen to get audiences rolling in the aisles once again can submit an EOI via brisbanecomedyfestival.com.au.
