(Doors and bar open from 7.45pm)
Old Woolstore Hotel (Merino Room), Hobart
A stellar line-up of very funny (and very generous) comedians will tickle your funnybone in the name of charity!
Your MC will be GAVIN BASKERVILLE
('7PM Project'; ABC Radio (Tas); 'Stand Up Australia' (Comedy Channel); Melbourne International Comedy Festival; Winner WA Raw Comedy Final 1999; and creator of 'Impro Vice')
and the show will feature our fabulous headliner:
XAVIER MICHELIDES
Originally hailing from Perth (WA), Xavier recently moved to Melbourne and has quickly established himself as an impressive comic talent. During his short time in Melbourne, Xavier has received critical acclaim and awards, performed highly successful Melbourne International Comedy Festival shows, and appeared as a guest comedian on 'Rove'.
Xavier has supported acts such as Dave Hughes, Tripod, Lano & Woodley, Steven Wright and Weird Al Yankovic.
Xavier has a unique and energetic performance style featuring characters, improvisation and absurd observation. Xavier has been described as 'confident, brash and intelligent, with undeniable charisma and skilful delivery' (The Age).
