Chris Radburn

You’ll need a good belly laugh to get those extra Christmas calories shaking and there’s no better giggle than The Big Gig Free Live Comedy at the Ballina RSL on Thursday.

This month MC Mandy Nolan presents a free comedy night with Chris Radburn and Vanessa Mitchell as support.

Chris Radburn is seriously funny, and undoubtedly one of Australia’s best and most sought after corporate comedians. For the past 20 years this charismatic fella and his observational comedy have become extremely popular all over the country and the world. Radburn, who was once a lawyer, is also an award-winning international headline comedian who has performed at every major comedy festival in Australia and has over 20 TV credits, including The Footy Show, Thursday Night Live, Sydney Comedy Festival Gala, The Comedy Channel, and as an international finalist in America’s Last Comic Standing.

Support for this show is Vanessa Larry Mitchell who, with a 20-year background working in the community sector, a degree in Social Science and a love of public speaking, has the confidence and knowledge of how people work to be able to draw the attention of everyone in the room to her. And you’ll laugh buckets and buckets.

Gorgeous Mandy Nolan will MC this event and you just never know what will happen!

This is an awesome lineup – have the last laugh on 2022 on Thursday at the Ballina RSL from 8pm.
