Just For Laughs returns to the iconic Sydney Opera House!
Just for Laughs is returning to Sydney Opera House in October for its second Australian Season, featuring some of the hottest comedians around.
With Noel Fielding (aka co-creator of The Mighty Boosh and the ABC’s trippy Luxury Comedy), Adam Hills and Drew Carey (The Drew Carey Show, Whose Line Is It Anyway?) hosting international comedy galas, and Flight of the Conchords’ Rhys Darby hosting an evening of hilarity with performers from New Zealand, the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall will be the place to see some of the best comedic talent from around the world.
There will be unmissable solo shows from Gabriel Iglesias(Comedy Central’s Hot and Fluffy) and Bill Burr (The Late Show with David Letterman, AMC’s Breaking Bad), British comedian Dave Gorman (last at Sydney Opera House with Dave Gorman’s Googewhack Adventure in 2003), Irish sensation Ed Byrne (Have I Got News For You, Never Mind the Buzzcocks) and Helpmann-nominated local boy Sam Simmons. The Studio will be transformed into a comedy club, hosting Amp’d – a night of musical comedy – and The Nasty Show hosted by Jeff Ross (Comedy Central’s Jeff Roasts).
The very first Just for Laughs at Sydney Opera House, co-presented by Adrian Bohm Presents, Sydney Opera House and Just for Laughs took place in 2011 with 45% of the audience being new ticket buyers to Sydney Opera House performances. Headlined by John Cleese, the festival was a box office success and comes back for 2012 bigger and bolder than before.
Just for Laughs recently celebrated 30 years of staging one of the world’s largest and most prestigious comedy festivals in Montreal. The Montreal festival, which takes place annually in July, spans a month and takes over the whole city with an international roster of high profile and emerging comedians and street performers all playing a part. There are now Just for Laughs festivals in Chicago, Paris, Toronto and Sydney.
Adrian Bohm Presents has been promoting international comedy, music tours and theatre productions in Australia and New Zealand for over twenty-five years, bringing some of the world’s best known musicians, singers, stage and screen actors and stand-up comedians to the Southern Hemisphere. Over recent years, Bohm has been responsible for presenting Eddie Izzard, Chelsea Handler, Lee Evans, Jack Dee, Jo Brand, Bill Bailey, Rowan Atkinson, Steven Wright, Rob Schneider, Russell Brand, Julian Clary, Lily Tomlin, Sandra Bernhard and many more international comedians to Australian audiences.
