Comedy Show for Seniors
Australia’s funniest boomer, 78-year-old Nola Bliss, and award-winning Chris “The Bloke” Franklin lead a FRINGE WORLD showcase made especially for audiences aged 60 and over. Joining them are award-winning comedians David Hughes and Xavier Susai, two millennials who’ve become firm favourites with older audiences.
Expect familiar frustrations, outrageous stories and the kind of observations that have you nudging the person next to you because you know exactly what they’re talking about. These comedians have plenty to say about the travelling, the youth, life, family and a world that keeps finding new ways to be ridiculous.
Get your friends together for a proper laugh at Fringe. The younger generation can organise their own night out.
