Comedy
Bright Club
Academics turn to standup comedy in this bold Festival event that lends some of Sydney’s finest minds to the city’s comedy circuit. In The Famous Spiegeltent’s late night slot, a line-up of lecturers, researchers and PhD-types from the University of Sydney invite you to laugh along with them as they mine their area of specialty for comic potential.
Be kind to them, they’re new to all this! Our would-be comics will be well supported by an experienced comedian (and your host for the evening) before being unleashed on the Bright Club stage, alongside live music and cabaret. This is truly the thinking person’s variety night.

When: 11 January, 18 January, 25 January, at 11.30pm

The List Operators for Kids do Compooters
Once again the award-winning duo crash through all things sensible, with a mad take on the brave new world of cyberspace, that interweb thingo, myface, spacebook and fart-ificial intelligence. Raucous, slapstick, thoroughly entertaining and interactive, The Listies make adults giggle and kids shriek and squirm. Now the boys go geek, stepping into the virtual World of Wool-craft and Pong computer games, PowerPoint, water pistols and LOLz from the very edge.
It’s the end of sanitised nice kids’ entertainment as we know it!
