A-List Entertainment is set to deliver side-splitting stand-up from around the world at the Noosa Alive festival.
One of Australia’s most respected and accomplished comics, Akmal, will be performing at The J Noosa on 22 July at 7:30pm, featuring a star-studded line-up of Georgie Carroll, Steph Tisdell, and Ting Lim.
Join a line-up of the country’s best and emerging comedic talent as they touch on cultural identity in a concoction of comedy that pokes fun at what makes us all different, but so much the same.
The Multicultural Comedy Gala is a hilarious celebration of diversity and multicultural Australian identity, exemplifying it as one of our greatest cultural assets.
Immigrating to Australia from Egypt with his family nearly 30 years ago, Akmal sums it up in his own inimitable style, “My parents didn’t tell us where we were going. We thought it was two hours away. Twenty hours later, we got off a plane. We were on another planet”.
Akmal appears regularly on Australian TV and participated in the Australian version of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2016, as the jungle’s most reluctant guest.
He has toured sell-out shows throughout Australia, and appeared at festivals all around the world, including Canada, New Zealand and Scotland. He has been nominated for two Australian Comedy Awards, two Helpmann Awards and two ARIA awards for his solo shows Live and Uncensored (2008) and Transparent (2018).
Steph Tisdell is a proud Ydinji woman, Aboriginal rights advocate, and major up-and-comer in the Australian Comedy Scene.
After cutting her teeth in the UK and winning the Deadly Funny National Grand Final in 2014, Steph has been collecting awards and accolades wherever she goes and building an impressive TV, radio, and print credit list.
Georgie Carroll is a comedian, author, registered nurse and family woman born in the UK, now settled in Australia.
This combination of nationalities, home life and hospital has provided a 24/7 training ground that has nurtured Georgie’s naturally funny bones.
Ting Lim has a dark wit and distinctive style, which has made her a rising star in the Australian comedy scene, following her debut at the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival RAW national comedy finals in 2011.
This is a night of side-splitting, thigh-slapping stand-up comedy that will illuminate your soul.
This show will leave you captivated, connected, and smiling at our proudly inclusive heritage.
So, do your soul a favour and treat it to a night of laughter you will never forget.
This show is produced with the support of The Commonwealth Government through the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund.
