Airdate: Cracker Night 2017

Joel Creasey hosts comedy showcase, Cracker Night 2017 over three weeks for the Comedy Channel in August.

Filmed live at the iconic Enmore Theatre during the 2017 Sydney Comedy Festival, it includes appearances from Jimeoin, Becky Lucas, Dave Thornton, Cam Knight and more.

“As Joan Rivers would always say ‘Just have a laugh and everything will be alright’ said Creasey. “And with everything that is going on in the world right now I don’t think those words have ever been more important. I mean, I’m still not over the Brangelina split, frankly. So join me as I host a jam-packed lineup of Australia’s funniest. Let us do all the work… just kick back on the couch, pour yourself a wine (or two)… and have a laugh (or two).”

The three half-hour comedy specials will feature stand up performances from comedy royalty including Jimeoin, Becky Lucas, Dave Thornton, Cam Knight, The Stevenson Experience, as well as UK funny men Dane Baptiste, Ramesh Ranganathan and Andy Zaltzman.

German foot puppeteer Anne Klinge, who wowed judges on last year’s Britain’s Got Talent with her extremely unusual performance, will also make her Australian comedy debut alongside Ireland’s king of laughs Des Bishop.

Thursday, August 24, at 8.30pm on Comedy.
