What's not to love? (maybe that last one)

See you there,

Political Asylum kicks off our summer season with a bang, with the following lineup of amazing acts:
- Toby Halligan (MC)
- Dave O'Neil
- Aamer Rahman
- Dave Bushell
- Jack Druce
- Scott Abbot
and Mathew Kenneally

Comedians will be making wisecracks about current events in the order those events are distributed. No comedian will pass on a joke simply because they don't agree with the perspective of the joke on offer.

And note, we're now back to our original 7:30pm start time, so you can take maximum advantage of the summer sun before settling in for some evening laughs!

The word has obviously hit the watercoolers that the Diary Leaks authors are coming to town, because advance sales have been surprisingly strong. In my last update I announced the EARLYBIRD discount password ruddroll, a variable discount based on demand that started at $5 off per ticket. Well it has dropped to $4 for the Tuesday and Wednesday shows, and down to $3 for the Thursday show. With more tickets selling daily, it will drop further, soon. Lineup:
Mathew Kenneally, Aamer Rahman, Nazeem Hussain, Courteney Hocking, Toby Halligan, Jon Brooks, Scott Abbot.

P.S. One more thing for Melbourne readers: Check out this fun promo youtube clip for occasional Political Asylum performer Paul Culliver's community TV show "The Inquiry News 24". Looks good.
