7.30 pm : MardiGrass Comedy Show – Roll up and laugh

One of the great traditions of MardiGrass over the last few decades is the MardiGrass Comedy Show on the Saturday night (this year it’s September 17) at Nimbin School of Arts hall.

Hosted by comedians and cannabis supporters Alan Glover and S Sorrensen, The MardiGrass Comedy Show has has maintained a constant high of hilarity over the years, showcasing the comedic talents of many of Australia’s finest stand-up comedians, who reflect back to the audience the fun and importance of the MardiGrass event, as well as the ridiculousness of the current NSW cannabis laws.

This year’s show will feature Fiona McGary. She lives on the Gold Coast, but does not wear diamante-encrusted sandals. She’s different. Fiona’s comedy will put you at ease, loosen you up, draw you expectantly close – and then throw you back in your seat with laughter. Hailing from the Byron Bay, where healing crystals trump diamantes, Paul McMahon explores the lifestyles of hippies, and shines a light on our floundering world. Paul is the polite, quietly spoken guy-next-door who says what he really thinks on stage and will be at his belly-laughing best at the MardiGrass Comedy Show.
