Remember Father? It’s his Day soon… In August we have a bunch of new releases coming out that will surely be a hit, including Arj Barker, Jimeoin, Zach Galifianakis and Il Dago!
Star of The Hangover and What Happens In Vegas, Zach Galifianakis started his so-called career in the back of a hand burger joint in New York. A master of the one-liner and non-sequiter, with an absurd rambling style that sees him as frequently roving through the audience as he is seated at his on-stage piano, Zach’s sharp and contemporary humour makes this live recording of his ‘stand-up’ show at the famed Purple Onion in San Francisco an absolute classic of the genre. Think Steven Wright meets Woody Allen by way of Andy Kaugman and you’re certainly warm but still far from home... Il Dago captures the hilarious stand up routines of some of Australia’s best and most loved comedians. Never before have so many stars of Australian ethnic comedy been on the ones stage at the one time. Along with rising star, Sri Lankan Australian comic Nish, are three of the most influential and prominent comedians Australia has produced. This recording features the hilarious stand up of George Kapiniaris, star of stage and screen best remembered most for his lovable character ‘Memo’ on Acropolis Now. It also features another star of Acropolis Now, Simon Palomares, ‘Ricky’ who, as one of the creators of the hit sage show ‘Wogs out of Work’, changed the fabric of Australian comedy forever. Hosting this historic event is Joe Avati, not only one of the biggest draw cards in Australian comedy but went on to become one of Australia’s biggest comedy exports, taking ethnic comedy to Europe and North America where his comedy albums have become chart toppers.
