Brunswick Picture House is the home of comedy in the Northern Rivers and after a stonking summer comedy program, the fun and frivolity continue this month with a spectacular comedy weekend.
Starting off the fun is the hilarious Ray O’Leary. Known for his deadpan delivery and iconic grey suit, Ray made his Australian debut in 2023 to sold-out audiences and was nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Ray is a staple on television shows, including Have You Been Paying Attention? and Thank God You’re Here.
‘Totally Normal’ is Nazeem Hussain’s brand new stand-up show, and whether you’ve laughed at him on TV, followed him on TikTok, or perhaps tailed him in real life (creepy, but he appreciates the commitment), now’s your chance to strap in for a full dose of Nazeem, live and up-close. A regular on international stages, Nazeem has sold out seasons around the globe, including in London, Paris, China, opening for Dave Chappelle in New York, and a homecoming show of sorts in Sri Lanka to 2,500 people (yes, the prime minister and his wife sat on thrones in the front row).
‘Attack of The Melanie Bracewell!’ You may have seen her on her hit show, The Cheap Seats, or embarrassing herself on Taskmaster NZ. Now is your chance to see her live as she returns to Bruns with her brand new show. Melanie promises to bring you her signature brand of relatable, goofy and punchline-heavy stand-up comedy. She promises she won’t actually attack you.
What more can we say about Urzila Carlson?As it says on the label, it’s ‘Just Jokes.’ Come for a show and leave with a sore face from laughing. Switch off and relax. Urzila is a three-time winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival People’s Choice Award. Originally scheduled for March 21/22 – due to a scheduling change, Urzila’s new dates will now be in August.
