Frogs on Toast has been called arguably the funniest show in Australia, and has recently won the Australian Entertainment MO Award for Best Showband. This follows their MO Award for Best Showband and the Four Kinsmen Production Show. People often ask how the name ‘Frogs on Toast’ came about and the simple answer is that ‘Frogs’ refers to the French theme that features throughout the show and the ‘on Toast’ is part of a northern English expression meaning ‘without effort’ or ‘easy’. The fact that frogs’ legs are a favourite of many French people complements the name overall.

Saturday at the Ballina RSL. Doors open 6.30pm, show and dinner starts 7.30pm. Tickets available online or at the club, $45.90pp.
