Stand up Comedy: Fear of A Brown Planet
After performing to sold out shows at the Melbourne Fringe Festival this emerging comedy act is in Brisbane for one night only to support Lex Wotton’s fight for justice.
For an uncompromised snapshot of difference and
some beautifully distilled fury, see this show.
Three young comedians take the western understanding
of Islam as their central topic of inquiry.
As earnest as such a project might seem,
these lads effect it with humour that borders,
at times, on brilliance.
If you’re prepared for an uncompromised snapshot of difference and some beautifully distilled fury, see this show.Even for a comedy junkie, this show has the sheen of something new and remarkable.
The Age, 2008.
