    Chris Ryan & Friends – Saturday 11 October, 7:30pm

    Wollongong Comedy's October show is stacked with some of the sharpest comics in the country, headlined by the brilliantly dry Chris Ryan. A journalist, mum, and award-winning comedian, Chris has quickly become one of Australia’s most exciting stand-ups, earning Best Newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival and a nomination at Melbourne International Comedy Festival. With her understated delivery and razor-sharp perspective on everyday life, Chris turns the ordinary into the unforgettable.

    Hosting the night is the always-hilarious David Smiedt, one of the best MCs in the business, with crowd favourites Jen Carnovale and Andy High rounding out a lineup packed with laughs.

    Expect a night of smart, relatable, and laugh-out-loud comedy you won’t want to miss.

    Heath Franklin’s Chopper – THE LAST HARD B*STARD ON EARTH - Friday 28 November, 8pm

    The year is 2030. Humanity is all but wiped out and there is only one man who can save us. For too long, we thought that things like ‘gentle parenting’, ‘love languages’ and ‘paper straws’ were a good idea… until self-diagnosing whingers and 37 types of milk destroyed civilisation… Then, like a glorious moustachioed phoenix, a hard bastard arose from the ashes to restart humankind.
