FORTY-FIVE AND COUNTING
Friday 22 November, 7:30pm
Athenaeum Theatre
ONE NIGHT ONLY!
As a Political Asylum regular, you have access
to $5 off full price tickets to this special event.
A celebration of 45 years of stand-up comedy.
The year was 1968. Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jnr were assassinated. Nixon was elected. The Battle of Khe Sanh was fought. ‘Laugh In’ premiered. Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat came to power. And Rod Quantock first strolled onto a stage.
Now, forty-five years on he’s still at it. Forty-five &Counting is a walk down Memory Tollway (Rod remembers when it was a Lane) as Australia’s most seriously funny comedian reveals the things that have made him laugh for the last 45 years and sets a course for the next 45.
Don’t miss your only chance to see a show that’s been a lifetime in the making.

Our fiscally irresponsible lineup includes:
Rod Quantock
Mat Kenneally
Toby Halligan
Lincoln Daw
Matt Grantham
plus character comedy from Mike and Andy
and our amazing Treasurer/host, Jack Druce!
