Spring back into comedy, with Nazeem Hussain!
The big names just keep on coming in 2021! (As do the lockdowns, but we won’t bang on about them).
What’s Nazeem been up to since he last visited us? Oh you know, appearing on every TV panel show ever, plus podcasts, radio and avocado ads. Ever busy and always hilarious, we can’t wait to see him live on stage at BallaRatCat!
Now let’s just keep hoping we can put the show on! Go get a vaccine while you wait!
Alan Moyle has photographed a LOT of comedians.
At the 2013 Melbourne Comedy Festival, he showcased the comics and the spaces they use to prepare for performing. Those spaces range from decked-out dressing rooms to cramped corners, cold carparks and broom closets. You can see all the incredible images as part of this year’s Ballarat International Foto Biennale.
2013 is also the year that Beth Lamont started BallaRatCat Comedy, and Beth & Alan go way back in the behind-the-scenes world of the Melbourne comedy scene.
This event will be part Artist Talk and Q&A; part panel discussion about the inner workings of comedy rooms and festivals, and part stand-up comedy show, with three very funny panelists & performers: Dave Thornton, Claire Hooper and Josh Earl!
Don’t miss your chance to take a peek… Behind The Curtain.
