Adelaide Comedy - Greg Fleet and Ryan Coffey
Need a laugh to get you through the week? Here's a great option - Wednesday night at The Marion Hotel, or Thursday at the Tea Tree Gully Hotel.
Greg Fleet is a living legend of Aussie comedy, and one of the most experienced and popular stand-up comics currently working the world stage.
Initially setting out to be an actor, Fleety trained at NIDA – the National Institute of Dramatic Art – before realising that comedy was his true calling. Well, he didn’t actually realise – he had to be told. By none other than Nick Enright, NIDA’s then Head of Acting, who recommended Fleety “go off and do that comedy thing”, which took Fleety by surprise since had no idea he was built for comedy. In fact, Fleety’s first foray into the comedy career was at Melbourne’s Prince Patrick Hotel in 1987 where, too nervous to stand up, he was more of a ‘sit-down’ comic. Now, of course, Greg Fleet stands head and shoulders above the pack by merging theatricality and comedy.
“In one hour, Greg Fleet succeeds in dragging us to extremes of laughter, embarrassment and pity – but mainly laughter – as he takes us on the emotional roller-coaster journey of our lives”
- The Independent, London
The night is hosted by Ryan Coffey, and features other comedians too - come along, have a laugh on us!
Our Host for the evening, Ryan Coffey, started things off brilliantly and Greg Fleet was a treat along with all of the other outstanding talent. Fun, fun, fun :)
