Rooftop Comedy | Featuring Sean Woodland

Lineup

• More details about Sean Woodland

  Sean Woodland

  Sean Woodland didn't walk onto a stage until he was 40, which sounds like a late start until you hear what he was doing before that. Schoolteacher. Semi-pro Aussie Rules footballer. Postman. Cook. Sex toy salesman. The man had a whole career's worth of material before he ever grabbed a microphone. Audiences feel at ease within minutes, like catching up with someone you've known for years, except funnier and with better stories about workplace humiliation. Sharp and fast, roughly a joke a minute, his style blends observational comedy with self-deprecation and a genuine satirist's eye for cultural pretension and tokenism. The Adelaide Advertiser reckoned he "has more than the average number of laughs up his sleeve," and rugby league legend Tim Sheens put it best: "He made Wayne Bennett piss himself the entire show — and that's bloody hard to do." For someone who started late, Sean hit the ground sprinting: in his very first year he won Australia's richest open mic comp Quest for the Best, reached the Green Faces national final, and made the RAW Comedy state final. Three national comedy festival tours later, Sean performs internationally and has become a fixture in Sydney's live scene — the kind of act the Kookaburra's Comedy crew keep booking because he genuinely delivers.

  Benny Davis

  You probably know that moment - you're humming along to some massive pop hit and suddenly realise it's the exact same four chords as every other massive pop hit. That's Benny Davis's fault, and we mean that as a total compliment. He spent a decade as the keyboard force behind comedy rock legends The Axis of Awesome, racking up over 20 million YouTube views with their "Four Chords" medley and touring Australia, the US, UK and Europe - including a night at the Sydney Opera House. A genuine graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Benny brings real musicianship to everything he does. The guy can actually play. Like, really play. What makes Benny's work special is that it's never music used as a vehicle for jokes, or jokes used as an excuse to play music - it's both things at once, and both things are excellent. One moment you're genuinely moved by a melody; the next you're completely losing it at the punchline, sometimes in the same bar. His solo shows carry all the craft from years on big stages, and he's brought that same energy to Dragon Friends, the comedy D&D podcast on Sanspants Radio, where he proves he's just as funny away from the piano as he is behind it. At Kookaburra's Comedy, we have him on as much as possible - a great excuse to get out of the house, honestly.
