Sean Morahan

If you are wondering what comedy shows you can see at this year's Sydney Fringe Comedy... Starting with my show 1 Liner (below) here are some diverse comedy choices from this year's Sydney Fringe:

 

Sean Morahan – 1 Liner

In writing his new comedy show ‘1 Liner’, Sean took Charlie Chaplin’s idea that comedy is two opposite ideas that collide. Then he wrote a new idea that comedy is not two opposite ideas that collide. Then he collided those two ideas! What a mess! Then he took the idea that one-liners make good comedy and the idea that storytelling makes good comedy. He put those two ideas in a Hadron Collider (don't ask - he just knows people, OK?) and let particle physics work its catastrophic magic.

 

Jaded by the unrelenting and excruciating highs of working as a builder’s labourer, car salesman and private investigator, Sydney boy Sean yearned to make people laugh for a living without falling off a building site in front of them, offering them a trade-in price, or showing them photos of their spouse’s new lover. In his previous occupations, he took copious notes of funny ideas and situations. Now, after successfully road-testing his material on innocent South Australians and Victorians at this year’s Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, he brings it all home!

 

“Don’t choose between storytelling comedy and one-liner comedy,” says Sean. “Come see my show and have both!”

CJ Delling – Reality Bandit

You've heard the old saying: "It's not what you know - it's who you know."

 

CJ Delling delights in the absurdities she sees around her every day. In Reality Bandit she combines quirky, charming and cheerful observations on our relationship with reality, truth and biases with delightful personal stories.

Elena Gabrielle and Grant Busé – The Shuffle Show

How about a comedy show with singing, dancing, acting and more?  Genius!

If you ever suspected that performing a comedy show was too easy, Elena Gabrielle and Grant Busé will prove you right. Not satisfied with entertaining you with comedy alone, they sing, they dance, they act, Grant plays guitar (I think the cool kids call it ‘awesome chops’ and ‘shredding the axe’).

One hour. One thousand songs. Sounds ridiculous? It is.

Taking on a medley of medleys, musical comedians Elena Gabrielle and Grant Busé present an epic musical adventure inspired by your favourite and most embarrassing iTunes playlists.

From The Beatles to Beyoncé, The Shuffle Show has something for everyone…except fans of One Direction…actually…okay, still no.
