Frontier Comedy Brings Shows From Five Incredible Comedians To The 2019 Adelaide Fringe
By: A.A. Cristi Nov. 28, 2018
The 2019 Adelaide Fringe festival is up and running, and Frontier Comedy is proud to announce something for everyone, with very different shows from five incredible comedians.
Award-winning British comedian Jeff Green; social media superstars Alex Williamson and Neel Kolhatkar; Amos Gill on a brief break from his US comedy conquest; and multiple 2018 Adelaide Comedy Award-nominee James Donald Forbes McCann will bring their solid hours of laughs to Adelaide in February and March for Fringe.
Please see below for short blurbs and listing info.
ALEX WILLIAMSON
SIN ON MY FACE
The Victorian era is long gone, but to think people once suppressed their 'inner sick-f*ck' is a point of fascination for this comedian.
After a sold-out Fringe last year before heading over to spend another Edinburgh Fringe working tirelessly to give Aussies an even worse reputation overseas, Alex Williamson is back to wholeheartedly embrace his inner sick-f*ck in a brand new hour.
With over 2.5 million social media followers, this comedy juggernaut is steaming through shows like a deranged Thomas The Tank Engine.
Embrace your own inner sick-f*ck and let 'Shooter' sin on your face. Best book early!

ALMOST FAMOS
He traded brekky radio for a comedy career in LA and has just performed to a sold-out crowd at New York's Madison Square Garden, now Amos Gill is back for a festival stint before heading back to California to melt the minds of US comedy lovers!
With a gut-busting new hour of comedy every year, Amos has already made a name for himself in the States, where he is touted as a rising star.

JEFF GREEN
LETTERS HOME
More than "just" award-winning UK comedian Jeff Green's trademark rapid-fire stand-up, Letters Home is a series of warm, funny monologues.
>From 1947-82, over a million '10 quid poms' moved to Australia in the Ten Pound Assisted Passage scheme. They kept in touch via requests to BBC Radio's 'Two-Way Family Favourites', and with most of the UK, each Sunday Jeff's family were glued to the radio. In homage to these souls and his own experience, Letters Home will be 10 'letters' to Jeff's family back home.
He celebrated his 30th year in stand-up last year, collecting accolades and selling out shows in the UK & Oz- don't miss this unique new show from one of Britain's most enduring, and endearing, comedy talents.
