Sit down for Stand Up

Parenting Fails, a stand-up comedy show that will make you feel better about your own parenting or relieved that you aren’t one, comes to Noosa on May 10 and 11 as part of the Anywhere Festival.

If you’re new to the delights of the Anywhere Festival, the clue is in the name; it’s performance anywhere. In this case, ‘Mel’s Place’, a leafy home on the shores of Lake Weyba, will transform into the Comedy Lounge and bring you a fabulous line up of local and touring comedians.

Comedy Lounge has collaborated with Anna Brennan, who is well known locally for her comedy nights in Eumundi, Maroochydore and Gympie. Anna is a QLD RAW comedy runner-up and can spit the dummy further than any two year old. Carolyn Mandersloot, a palliative care nurse and one of the stand outs from last year’s sell out show, returns with more hilarious stories of parenthood and the odd reference to dying.

They’ll be joined by former Triple M breaky show host Greg Sullivan, regular panellist on ABC Radio Brisbane’s Andy Thompson and singing chuckle-coaxer Glenn Stephens, with multi-award winning comedian and playwright Jasmine Fairbairn as MC.

The Anywhere Festival started in Brisbane eight years ago and has more recently migrated to the Sunshine Coast, supporting artists to entertain new audiences in the unlikeliest of venues.Tickets are limited but there’s still time to book online for performances on Friday 10 May at 7pm, and Saturday 11 May at either 2pm or 7pm.

Tickets cost $25 for adults and there will be street food available and a cash bar.

To book go to the festival website ‘Anywhere.is’ and search Parenting Fails or give Robyn a call on 0432 903 122.
