International Joke Day is all about recognising the power of comedy in our lives. It gets us through tough times and makes stretch those face muscles till they hurt. If you’ve attended a comedy show before, you’ll know what a great atmosphere it is. If you haven’t had the opportunity to see a comedian live, we’ve got a few shows for you to add to your plans.

These comedians have been entertaining Australians for many years. All of them have memorable jokes we’ve thrown in at a family gathering a time or two. Now is your chance to see and hear them live in action:

Akmal

Have you always wanted a perfect body, with rock hard abs and buns of steel without ever getting out of bed? Imagine having enough confidence to get out of your car during a road rage incident that wasn’t your fault, instead of apologising and cowardly driving off as quickly as you can.

If you have ever wanted to be so financially wealthy that you could pay Rupert Murdoch to drop his pants and perform a silly dance while singing in a high pitch voice, just for a laugh. Well in this one-hour show, Akmal will be asking the audience if they know how he can achieve these things. A life-changing experience or your money back.

Arj Barker

“Do I swear to tell the whole truth? No, but I’ll swear while telling the partial truth. And trust me, it’s a lot more fun that way. If you truly want to laugh, then take my word for it. This is honestly the best hour of BS around, I kid you not…”

Australia’s adopted son of comedy returns to Melbourne to premiere his brand-new hour of hilarious comedy.

Jimeoin

A stalwart of Australian comedy and all round likeable rogue, comedian Jimeoin returns for a limited season of his new stand-up show, Ramble On!!

Jimeoin happily imparts his clever and quirky observations on everyday suburban life in his trademark devil-may-care style. Don’t miss out.

Lawrence Mooney

He’s back with a new show having stepped out from behind Malcolm Turnbull and into the light of a brave new world.  There’s lots to get through after three years, buy a ticket take the ride, it’s going to be quite beautiful.

Marty Sheargold

Don’t miss the opportunity to laugh live with the star of the Nova Network’s Kate, Tim & Marty Show, as he delivers a load of jokes and stories he can’t do between 4pm and 6pm. If you’ve seen him on Have You Been Paying Attention? and want more, book now. Don’t disappoint him, yourself or his property broker by missing out! This is an encore performance of Marty’s sold out 2019 tour.
