MardiGrass  is back. So too is Saturday Night Comedy Live at Nimbin School of Arts (Town Hall) on MardiGrass Saturday night, May 1. Spearheaded by the dynamic duo of Glover & Sorrensen, reinforced by Australia’s funniest poet, Murray Hartin, made complete by the cerebral comedy of Steady Eddy, and gobsmacked by a very special guest, the legendary Mandy Nolan! Saturday Night Comedy Live will celebrate the MardiGrass return with more laughs than a stoned kookaburra.
