Comedian seeks audience : Must have honest desire to save the human race.

Jacques Barrett brings to life on stage all the things he thinks the people of Earth are doing wrong. It’s a harsh but fair SWOT analysis for the human race from one of Australian comedy’s last remaining philanthropists.

Returning from a strong run in the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival Jacques is match fit and looking for recruits to come with him on a Journey of self-discovery.

Who do you think has a better handle on the way forward - A detached policy maker living behind a desk in mildly autistic Canberra, or a hyper-analytical comedic brain that empties itself onto a crowd of humans every night who laugh in agreement. We’re not saying Jacques has all the answers but he definitely has the right question. Why the f$%k is everyone happy with being unhappy?

Come hear the answers on May 5th, 6th and 7th from 730pm at the Parade Theatre in Kensington.

Bookings: 132 849

Adults - $19.90, Conc. - $14.90, groups of 6+ - $14.90.

MICKEY D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kM-OswvWzQ

Since storming the Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2000 Mickey D has performed across the UK, throughout Europe and the States and acquired an impressive list of TV and radio credits. More recently his achievements were acknowledged when he won’ Best Comedy Award 2007 at the Adelaide Fringe Festival’.

“Charmingly gregarious and a world class talent” The Independent
His previous sell-out shows in Edinburgh include; ‘Mickey D has Detention Deficit Disorder’,
‘Mickey D was a Pub Kid’ and ‘Velocity Boy’.
“His material is all delivered with such bawling gusto that it’s a joy to take in” Edinburgh Evening News
Mickey is equally at home as compere or headline act and his boundless energy and infectious smile is always guaranteed to rub off on any audience.

MATT OKINE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpCYCOYUDIc

Australian Comedian & Actor, Matt Okine, began his career by becoming a national Triple J RAW finalist in 2004, at the age of 18, after only 3 previous gigs (those being the preliminary stages of the competition!).

He was a 2Day FM Comedy God finalist later that year, and in January 2005, Matt took out the Brisbane New Comic of the Year competition. In 2006, he was in “Show Us Your Roots” at the Canberra Theatre, and was also a part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s ‘New Talent’ Showcase.

In late 2007, Matt performed on “Rove Live” after winning the Rove Live/Snickers Golden Nut Competition. He followed this with a sell-out show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival (2008) and was flown to Miami as part of NBC’s hit show, “Last Comic Standing”.
Most recently, Matt has appeared on Channel 7’s All Saints, Nickelodeon’s H20: Just Add Water, ABC2’s I Rock, and was a guest panellist on SBS’s “The Squiz”.
Matt is also co-writer and producer of the TV Pilot, Not Available.
With these achievements, along with several other TV and film acting appearances, Matt Okine is definitely one of Australia’s rising comic talents.

Jim Rochford

Sydney born and raised, Jim Rochford’s comedy has been described as “Serious discussion that accidentally ends up as comedy” (it’s Jim that says that). With a tongue permanently in cheek, his mischievous, satirical, storytelling approach has been working Sydney Stand up rooms for the past 3 years. Being born the middle child of five, Jim brings a lifetime of “unfortunate” stories to life on stage every night.

Jacques Barrett

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN5oogDb_qE

A powerhouse of performance, Jacques has been carving up stages with his brand of insightful observational and impressionistic comedy for seven years now.

On the forefront of Sydney’s rapidly expanding comedy scene, Jacques is among a talented bunch of rising Australian stars whose unique brand of performance take a crowd on a journey they never thought possible. A style of comedy that is at once original but widely accessible, he can bend to fit absolutely any audience. A bankable act that never leaves a crowd disappointed.

“The bastard child of a really good comedian and another really good comedian”
Dave Callan

“Jacques Barrett is young, handsome, charismatic and hilarious. Thus I urge you NOT to see him.” - Jeff Green (UK)

“One of my favorites. He brings a real sense of joy to the art of comedy. An example of just how good stand up can be.” - Greg Fleet.
