Cracker Comedy Showcase featuring Sugar Sammy (CAN), Tony Woods (USA), Jeremy Hotz (CAN), Andrew Stanley (IRE).

Originating from the Sydney Comedy Festival's opening night gala - Cracker Night - this tour de force show features headlining acts from all over the world, including: Canadian
superstars Sugar Sammy & Jeremy Hotz, American standup comedic hero Tony Woods and emerging Irish talent Andrew Stanley.

"A star studded highlight of this years festival, the showcase promised much and delivered
much much more! If you see just one show at this year's fest - make it the showcase!" -
METROPOLIS MAGAZINE, SYDNEY

Sugar Sammy performs in four languages (English, French, Punjabi and Hindi) and critics
worldwide are unanimous in their praise of his hilarious material and his laconic delivery.
Askmen.com named him "Comedy's New Rock Star”, who also opened for Dave Chappelle, worked with George Lopez and Damon Wayans. A tour-de-force, Sugar Sammy stirs up and samples the multi-cultural melting pot with hilarious commentary on the contradictions of global society. Brilliantly entertaining with his views on arranged marriage, deviant sex, drugs and modern day relationships. Sugar Sammy will have you laughing, thinking, and seeing life in a whole new way!

There’s no topic taboo or untouched when Tony is in town! Tony Woods’ playful and cool
attitude belies his sharp wit and mischievous subject matter. Declared “their favourite
comedy act ever!” by our favourite Aussies on The Footy Show – this comedy guru was once lined up for dental school! Instead of becoming a wealthy, depressed boring dentist, Tony Woods has inspired a long line of comedy greats including Dave Chappelle.

Absolutely one of a kind, he’ll take you for a walk on the wild side in this outrageous
showcase of four of the best in the international comedy scene!

If you ask Jeremy Hotz how to become a successful stand up comedian, he’ll likely tell you
simply to fail at everything else and let the audience laugh at you while you do it. Jeremy’s
astute observational comedy is smart and funny, just what you need to be to be successful
in standup these days. Formerly a writer on the critically acclaimed Jon Stewart Show and a typical single guy, this supermarket and fashion-challenged comedy super-wit will have you in stitches with his every day aspirations and antics!

Andrew Stanley is the always high energy and quick witted Irishman in hot demand,
dazzling enough to keep audiences thoroughly entertained and begging for more. “a hugely energetic performance, literally bouncing around the stage and infusing the room with an infectious passion”, Stanley’s penchant for interaction with the audience will have you swooning and crying out for more before he leaves the stage. Called “effervescent and upbeat...bursting with playful energy” by Chortle.co.uk, this Irishman is plenty equipped enough to handle the laughs you’re sure to offer him.
