WANNA GOANNA
Austen Tayshus, Balldale Hotel, Saturday, February 20, 7.30pm
Australian comedy legend Austen Tayshus has performed more than 10,000 shows in nightclubs, universities, comedy clubs, pubs and theatres over 36 years. Now he's coming to the Balldale Hotel. In 1983 Austen Tayshus released Australiana, which is still the highest-selling single in Australian recording history. Austen Tayshus is a performer like no other. This is not a show comprised of mundane observational gags nor is it simply vulgar, crass humour. The show is followed by Jared Buckley from 9pm until late.
