Get ready for a night of guaranteed laughs with one of Australia’s funniest and most loveable comedians.

Dane comes from a long line of funny buggers. A wisecracking Dad, a cleverly cutting Mum, hilarious grandparents, and generations of jokers, pranksters and yarnspinners. Now Dane is here putting the 'rad' into 'traditional'. He always was, always will be…funny. For 60,000 years of belly-laughs, book now.

★★★★★ ‘Side splitting down to earth humour… how often do you go to a comedy show where you laugh until your sides hurt?’– Glamadelaide

‘One of the most personable comedians in Australia…optimistic, upbeat and effortlessly charming’ – Chortle (UK)

★★★★★ ‘Dane had me laughing so hard I had a hard time holding back tears of joy. Whatever you take from this review, please follow him!’ - Theatre Matters

★★★★1/2 'Dane Simpson has more presence in his pinky finger than most of us could ever dream of. Simply a delight to behold, the comic hailing all the way from Wagga Wagga is instantly affable with an infectious energy that fills the room' - Sunday Mail

Arguably Wagga Wagga's finest export, Dane has made countless TV appearances including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Wil Anderson's Question Everything, The Hundred with Andy Lee, SBS's Celebrity Letters & Numbers, and even on the big screen in zombie movie Residence and rom-com The Merger. With a string of sold-out live comedy shows across Australia and in the UK, he’s heading your way with a whole lot of gutbusting jokes and damned funny stories.

Rated 15+ - Occasional coarse language, some adult themes
