The Variety Collective is a weekly variety show packed full of the best circus performers, comedians, magicians and carnies.

Political Asylum is a monthly political, topical comedy show featuring Australia's best political comedians.

This Wednesday, these two shows are going head to head for a crossover special packed with satire, topical comedy and old school variety entertainment. 

Welcome to post-truth politics, Romney/Ryan style! Join us as we lower taxes, reduce the debt AND maintain spending levels. Marvel as we ban abortion and support choice AT THE SAME TIME. Watch in awe as we condemn the successor to OUR OWN healthcare policy. It's a fire sale! ALL TRUTH MUST GO!

This Sunday at Political Asylum we bring you the talented lies of:
- Rod Quantock
- Damian Power
- Toby Halligan
- Nicholas J. Johnson
- Mike and Andy
- Alan Driscoll
and hosted by the always slanderous Mr Matt Elsbury!
