Joe Avati - when i was your age
Friday 29th November 2024 | 7:00pm - 9:40pm
In Joe Avati's hilarious new show he asks you to leave your political correctness at the door.
Internationally renowned for his inimitable style, Avati, who is Australian born with an Italian heritage, is a master of treading the very fine line saying what everyone is thinking but no one dares to say whilst not resorting to the use of profanities or vulgar shock tactic routines. In his latest offering WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE, he compares the 'then versus now' generational differences of today's children against his own, the complexities of modern day parenting compared to the strict upbringing of yesteryear and threaded throughout all of this he tackles the minefield of comedians and cancel culture, the woke brigade and why people are over political correctness.
Strictly no refunds on any tickets once purchased.
Doors open at 7pm. Show starts 8pm sharp. Approximate 9:40pm finish.
Be sure to book a table at Garrisons Bistro by calling 4759 9500 or booking online.
