As seen at the biggest comedy clubs in the world including Caroline's on Broadway in NYC and Yuk Yuk's in Toronto -- 'exceptionally funny' (Mark Dolan of Balls of Steel), the Scottish baldy takes an irreverent look at music and popular culture in this hilarious, fun-packed show. "Escapism of the highest order... superb crowd-work, improvisation and the largest amount of energy I have ever seen used on stage. An hour of pure entertainment and hilarity" "5-Stars" Bunbury Magazine.
LAURA DAVIS (Australia) – CAKE IN THE RAIN
Laura Davis is a London based, Australian comedian who became accidentally stranded in New Zealand on tour when the borders closed in March. Fortunately this means she can make the NZ debut of her critically acclaimed, sold out show Cake In The Rain. With a refreshing disregard for convention shining through her work, Davis' brand of bold, joyously cathartic stand up will leave you uplifted even in the roughest of times.
