Sidesplitter Comedy returns with a stellar lineup for its eleventh year, featuring Pete Helliar, Luke Heggie, Geraldine Hickey, Sam Taunton, Dilruk Jayasinha, Kirsty Webeck and Ivan Aristeguieta.
Across two huge weekends this October, some of Australia’s funniest comedians will take over the iconic Memorial Hall in Hamilton Hill. The event runs from 23 to 24 October, with a second weekend of performances from 30 to 31 October.
The festival begins on Friday 23 October with Ivan Aristeguieta performing Ready to Mambo. Later that evening, audience favourite Kirsty Webeck will bring her show Lost for Words to Perth. Webeck recently appeared in the second series of the ABC TV show Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee.
Saturday night’s program features Dilruk Jayasinha performing Gratitude Guy. The Sri Lankan-born comedian is known to many viewers for his role as Ashan in the comedy series Utopia. He will be followed by Sam Taunton with This Must Be the Place.
The second weekend will see the much-loved Geraldine Hickey take to the stage, followed by Luke Heggie performing his solo show I Won’t Say It Again.
On Saturday, Pete Helliar will present The International Kerfuffle, before the festival concludes with a Gala Spectacular hosted by Peter Rowathorn.
