The world is changing quickly. Hold on. Nothing is certain. Nothing can be relied upon. Except the annual MardiGrass Comedy Show<\/strong>, which always has, and always will, dish up dollops of laughter (the best medicine) on the MardiGrass Saturday night.<\/h4>\n

This year that night is May 3, at Nimbin Town Hall, at 8pm.<\/strong> (Everybody welcome. It\u2019s cheap as.)<\/p>\n

Another reassuring unchanging thing? The hosts, Alan Glover and S Sorrensen<\/strong>, well know for being well known, older but bolder, greyer but greener, angrier but funnier. This year, the dopey duo presents comedians Ting Lim and Greg Sullivan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ting Lim\u2019s<\/strong> dry sarcastic observations have endeared her to audiences since she represented Queensland in the Melbourne International RAW comedy competition. Since then, she has toured sold-out comedy shows across Australia. And she\u2019s a hard-working funnyist: In 2024, she performed at the Perth Fringe World, Adelaide Fringe, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, culminating in a sold-out Brisbane Comedy Festival show. Ting has just filmed her debut stand-up special with director Jim Hare. And now, her comedy climax \u2013 the MardiGrass Medicinal Comedy Show! As Kitty Flannagan described her: \u201cFunny and just a little bit scary \u2026 in a good way.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Greg. Greg Sullivan<\/strong>, dear mate to Alan and S, is one of their favourite comedians. They\u2019re very excited that he\u2019s returning to the MardiGrass Medicinal Comedy Show<\/strong>. Since first performing in Nimbin in the 90s as a teenager, Greg has performed in China, Los Angeles and Casino. He lived with his children in the Northern Rivers for 10 years before going back on the road full-time in 2023. He has written and performed for TV, film and radio, but he has a special fondness for the Nimbin School of the Arts (Town Hall) \u2013 and MardiGrass in particular. Some of his fondest memories are in that building and that festival. He hopes one day they\u2019ll return to him.<\/p>\n

So, there ya go, folks. An invigorating one and a half hours of funny stuff on Saturday, May 3, at 8pm, in the Nimbin School of Arts, to help you make sense of a senseless world.<\/h4>\n

See ya there!<\/h4>\n
