He has performed in ten Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, three Melbourne Fringes, two Adelaide Fringes, three Perth Fringe Worlds, two Perth International Comedy Festivals and one Sydney Comedy Festival.

Pajama Men
The world-renowned, Barry Award-winning sketch superstars return to Melbourne! Drawing on their huge catalogue of classic bits, some new material and endless improvised tangents, the Pajama Men create an anarchic night of jubilant and inventive comedy.

Bob Franklin
Bob Franklin is an award-winning comedian, writer, director, author and actor. Some of his greatest comedy achievements include appearances in Please Like Me, Worst Year of My Life Again, Talking ’bout Your Generation and Thank God You’re Here.
