• “Slick, quick, and packed with funny material” **** 3 Weeks Magazine
• “Enjoy a dose of ‘we’re all in this together’ with this comforting, hilarious and slightly daft hour ****” 3 Weeks Magazine
• “Delightfully clever punchlines… He endears himself with an engaging if unusual style of language. Wordy but accessibly so, he throws in sneaky puns and well-hidden one-liners that reward the attentive listener without alienating anyone that missed them. It’s clever stuff.” Chortle

Middle Act – Oliver Young

Oliver Young is a new generation comic who has already impressed on the scene with his dry wit and writing skills, whether he’s annoyed at his average upbringing or trying to make you think he’s normal, he truly is one to watch, he’s a former Chortle Student Comedy Award semi-finalist and truly personifies the phrase, ‘first the worst second the best’. “Turns out a lot funnier than that sounds” – Bath Echo.

Opening Act – Pat Goldsack (Katie Boyle)

NZ’s hippest, swingers-club-owning nana hits the stage with comedy filled to the brim with innuendo, sex advice, mentorship, and a healthy dose of the crass. Listen up and listen good: you sass the Pat, she’ll eat your sass for breakfast.
