The Laugh Stand Gala: Ray Badran & The Stevenson Experience

Are you ready to rock out the last week of the shortest month of the year??

We have a toe-tapping finale to the month with our second COMEDY GALA for the year!

Your Emcee is Australian comedy club and festival regular, Ray Badran. Ray is a phenomenally sharp and talented rising comic who is rapidly making a name for himself as one of the country’s finest comedians and Emcees, with his astute, observational style making him a hit with any audience.

In 2014, Ray was hand-selected by The Sydney Comedy Festival Directors to host the prestigious ‘Breakout Comedy Tour’ which travels to Brisbane, Perth and Sydney and showcases the brightest emerging comedians in the country. With multiple television writing credits and mounting radio and television appearances, Ray is widely regarded as one of the hottest rising stars of Australian comedy.

Your headline act follows in the footsteps of Tripod, The Axis Of Awesome and The Doug Anthony Allstars, to be the next big thing in Australian musical comedy. The Stevenson Experience, comprised of identical twin brothers, Benjamin and James Stevenson, are experienced and versatile festival performers, having sold out multiple seasons at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2011 - 2014), Adelaide Fringe Festival (2013 - 2014) and Canberra Comedy Festival (2013 - 2014).
The Stevenson Experience were the fastest selling act at the 2013 Canberra Comedy Festival, outselling both Stephen K Amos, and the opening night gala. They have been featured on ABC TV, Triple J, and ABC Radio in Canberra and Melbourne. In 2013, they were chosen to support musical comedy legends Tripod on their ‘Men of Substance’ tour and have performed alongside the biggest names in Australian Comedy.

Your featured support is the proudly Westie, self-deprecating and loveable Michele Betts who recently shone in the well-received hit web-series ‘The Joke’s On Me’.

Joining them are some of Australia’s hottest emerging comics; Eric Hutton, Scott Thomson, Geoffrey Windle and Scott Dettrick!


Plus, as always, you can treat yourselves to delicious 2 for 1 meals and refreshing $5 Schooners of Coopers!
