Dave Eastgate and Rhi Down

Clear that calendar because we've got a huge night of big laughs coming your way with the king of rock 'n' roll comedy Dave Eastgate here to headline a killer lineup of side-splitting comics and trust us when we say this is not a show you want to miss. Dave is one of the best in the business and we can't wait to see him bring the show home. Joining him to host the show is Brisbane crowd-favourite Rhi Down to warm us up and introduce our talented support acts for the evening. We can't wait to see you there.

In 2015, Dave starred alongside his comedy idols, Glenn Robbins, Magda Szubanski, Gina Riley & Jane Turner in the Comedy Channel’s flagship, sketch comedy series, Open Slather. The series ran for 20 episodes and featured Dave in sketches alongside UFC Champ Ronda Rousey & Grammy Award Winner, Sting. Other credits include the multi-award winning ABC comedy series, A Moody Xmas & it’s sequel, The Moody’s, as well as Maximum Choppage, Soul Mates, Ronny Chieng: International Student and Channel 9’s smash hit comedy Here Come The Habibs. Stand-up comedy remains Dave's staple as he tours extensively around Australia and internationally in NZ, UK, US, Singapore and even in the Middle East for the Australian Defence Force. In 2012 Dave shared the stage with Academy Award Winner Robin Williams during his Australian tour and considers it a career highlight. Other highlights include playing sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011 & 2012 & performing at the UK's biggest heavy metal festival Download in 2012. In addition to this Dave has supported touring international comics such as Arj Barker, Rich Fulcher, Jim Jefferies, Jeff Ross and Ross Noble. Dave has appeared as a stand-up comedian on Channel 9’s Mornings, SBS’s The Full Brazilian, Channel 10’s Thursday Night Live and the Comedy Channel’s Stand Up Australia and Just For Laughs at The Sydney Opera House. In 2016 he was featured on the ABC's Comedy Next Gen - we're thrilled to have him with us!

After performing sold out shows in Melbourne, Rhi Down has returned to Brisbane. She's been performing on the comedy circuit since 2011 and in her early years was a finalist in the Queensland Raw Comedy Competition twice. She's been all over Australia but loves nothing more than being in front of a home town crowd. You may have heard Rhi on podcasts such as "Don't You Know Who I Am?", "Confessions of the Idiots", "The Phone Hacks" or the one she co-hosts with Sam Petersen "Fan Friction". She's taken her meds and she's written some jokes, so catch her if you can! "Down is a powerhouse of line-riding comedy. Part self-deprecating, part self-loving, all self-assured, her accomplished funnies make Down a veritable queen of paradoxical wit." - The Music

"Startlingly quick on her feet, Down’s ability to play coy with the audience sends your mind hurtling in one direction before she spins you towards the other, resulting in some of the sharpest one-liners of the festival." - Poison Drum Magazine

"Biting comedy for those who like a laugh with a punch" - Weekend Notes

"One of the funniest people I've seen in a long time" - Adam Ray, Comedian
