Spooky Comedy at The Round

Spooky Comedy at The Round

Join us for a wickedly funny night as The Round gets a spine-tingling twist of comedy gold. Headlined by Laurence Leung, this spooky season showcase brings together a devilishly good lineup that'll have you cackling 'til your sides ache. Curated by veteran comedy programmer Janet A McLeod (aka The Fairy Godmother Of Melbourne Comedy), this is comedy with a wicked edge — no tricks, all treats.

TEGAN HIGGINBOTHAM 
Brimming with energy and top-notch jokes, Tegan is our host for the night. She is an award-winning comedian who has also made her mark as an actor and screenwriter. You may have spotted her on the big screen in Oddball – the movie about a dog that guards little penguins (she was the baddie) and you are definitely going to spot her in the upcoming Stan/Screen Australia Original Series Gnomes.

LAWRENCE LEUNG 
Comedian, writer, director, actor, Lawrence has turned many of his obsessions into one-man comedy shows and those one-man shows into TV series. In Lawrence Leung’s Unbelievable he investigated supernatural phenomena such as aliens, psychic powers, magic, and ghosts – and why some people feel the need to believe in these things. Sounds perfect for Halloween!

WATSON 
Super-slick comedy trio Watson are known for their fast-paced, cleverly written sketches – especially the slightly spooky ones (they once staged an entire horror-comedy show at Old Melbourne Gaol). Featuring Liam Ryan (Head Writer on The Project), Tegan Higginbotham (Have You Been Paying Attention?, Whose Line Is it Anyway?) and Adam McKenzie (no credits), prepare yourselves for quick-witted sketches, hilarious characters and out of control capering.
