Sat 15 JunLet's Gooooo
Life stuff. New show. Big comedy good times with one of the best stand-ups the Australian scene has birthed.
Laconic and dry-witted with a warm onstage charisma, Daniel Townes’ shows are packed with sharp one-liners, savage social commentary and dark-but-hilarious tales of his own failings. Society’s shortcomings and foibles - from the big questions of life through to the petty grievances of day to day existence - are neatly excised by his sharp, razor-edged wit and rapid-fire delivery, guaranteeing a ferocious hit rate of punchlines-per-minute.
