The Sydney Just For Laughs Festival has just announced its 2013 line-up and it’s a doozy.
Back for his first Aussie live show in five years is Rove McManus who’ll be hosting the International Gala. After hanging up his king-of-chat crown back in 2009, it wasn’t long before Rove quickly popped it back on with Rove LA and appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Entertainment Tonight.
The international highlights of the festival include Kathy Griffin, Rob Schneider, Tommy Tiernan, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood from Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and Mark Watson. Check the Sydney Opera House website for their show details.
Dave Thornton will be hosting a six-part tv special on Foxtel’s Comedy Channel for Just For Laughs: The Stand-Up Special and will be joined by Aussie and International big names performing stand-up to an intimate Sydney crowd.
Peter Helliar will also be hitting the stage as the host of Date Night: The Relationship Show with special guest Greg Behrendt and a range of other comedians. Behrendt is the author of the best-selling He’s Just Not That Into You and Helliar has become somewhat of a relationship expert himself after the success of his ABC1 show It’s A Date.
