Event description
With line-up after line-up sticking to the regimented quotas of tokenism (or not even bothering altogether), this show will be a refreshing look at what you've been robbed of. We’re sick of being the only person of colour in the room, let alone on the bill. AM I RIGHT? WHAT'S THE DEAL with Comedy nights loving to throw around buzzwords like, "safe space," and "inclusive" or "white comedian"?? I MEAN, don't they realise that it's only a safe and inclusive space for white comedians, LOL. Thanks For Having Me is a welcomed departure from all the… (ah, how do you say) caucacity and Karen behaviour. *This edition will be different. We're doing "Alternative Comedy." **You see, traditionally we're not allowed to participate in these shenanigans as this is reserved for our white peers. ***However we asked Aunty Donna for permission, and he said yes. Featuring some of the best established and emerging PoC Comedians from around AUS, this is the perfect opportunity for you to show off how ‘woke’ you are to your mates. Or to just kick back with all your unproblematic friends. We’re also making it easier for you to book your comedy room; no more tedious scrolling through instagram – you can just write these names down. After launching in 2021 for Sydney's Laugh Outta Lockdown Fest with great success, a knock out season for Sydney Fringe Festival, and 4 sold out nights at Melbourne Fringe - Thanks For Having Me is back!! Now in an 'Alt Comedy' edition. Picked up by SBS, Time Out, Pedestrian TV, Beat Magazine, and Concrete Playground – you don’t want to be left out. Ready for some laughs? THIS EVENT WILL NO LONGER BE AUSLAN INTERPRETED AS OUR SERVICES HAVE DOUBLE BOOKED |
