Get ready to laugh heaps with stories from down under! This rollicking show dives into everything that makes Oz unique: from kangaroos in the backyard to Vegemite on toast and the joys of Tim Tams. Whether you're an Aussie at heart or an international adventurer, this show promises a fair dinkum good time that'll have you saying "Strewth!" and reaching for a cold one.
As a fan of comedy, you’ve likely heard Geoff Tate at some point… but at no point have you heard of him being Australian. That’s because he’s not. Which makes this… weird. Anyway, he’s very funny. Geoff Tate is a nationally touring stand-up comedian known for his sharp writing, clever storytelling, and laid-back delivery that catches audiences off guard with perfectly timed punchlines. Blending personal stories with smart, relatable observations, Geoff’s conversational style has made him a favorite with crowds who enjoy thoughtful, high-quality comedy. He has appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Conan, and Dry Bar Comedy, and his albums and specials have earned millions of streams online. Geoff’s confident, unpretentious voice brings fresh humor to everyday life, relationships, and the odd details most people miss.
Michael Markus is an Australian-born, Portland-based comedian and writer performing across the Pacific Northwest. Known for his clever joke structure and unique delivery, Michael keeps audiences engaged and guessing right up to the punchline. If you like one-liners, don’t worry — he’s got at least two. Michael has opened for David Spade, Rob Schneider, and Jeff Richards. Originally from Sydney, he was a State Finalist in RAW Australia’s national comedy competition and runner-up in One Liner Madness
Jon Bennett is a world-renowned comedic storyteller and 7-time Just For Laughs Award nominee (Montreal, 2011-2017). Known for his ability to blend humour with deeply personal stories, Jon has carved a unique space in the world of comedy, and after 20 years in the business, he’s recognized as one of the most prolific storyteller-comedians touring today.
Please note that comedy shows may contain strong language and adult themes.
Doors open at 7:00 PM. Arrive early and visit concessions in the Lower Lobby for drinks and snacks to enjoy from your seat!
