Kingy Comedy for July
Telecross
Telecross is a free Red Cross service
which provides a short reassuring
daily phone call to people living in
the community to ensure they are
safe and well.
The services assists a wide range
of people in the community every
day - older people living alone,
people with disabilities, younger
people and special needs groups;
as well as people who need
temporary assistance in the
absence of a carer or during times
of rehabilitation or support during
or after a natural disaster, such as
heatwave or flood.
The service operates 365 days a
year throughout Australia and has
been successfully operating for
over 20 years. Every day, thousands
of people are contacted by trained
Red Cross Telecross volunteers

Ellen Briggs is a talented mother of two, with a sharp
tongue and a rapidly rising career in the comedy
industry! With just 9 years experience, she bagged
first prize on the National Foxtel Comedy Channel’s ‘Be
a Comedian’ and earned a spot on Stand Up Australia.
She then became a finalist in the nationally televised
Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2007 “Raw
Comedy” Competition.
It’s been said that “Ellen says out loud the things other
mothers only dare to even think”, and that “with her
tales of parenting, she could well become Australia’s
next Fiona O’Loughlin”. Ellen takes her audience on
an observational and hilarious journey through life as
an accidental mother of identical twins and the wife
of a husband who is away working for 9 months of
the year. She has made an art-form of sneaking really
politically incorrect jokes onto the end of “nice” yarns.
She launches the punch lines stealthily. You won’t see
them coming, but you’ll know when they hit.
She is joined by Steven J Whitely whose natural style
and off centre observations on almost every topic
including facebook, Australian town names and even
dinosaurs have had audiences everywhere roaring
with laughter. Regularly travelling to Melbourne,
Sydney, Adelaide and regional Australia. He is also in
demand at sea and spends a good part of his life
entertaining crowds on comedy cruises.
MC is Paul McMahon, ex bank manager, father of 4,
cook and comedian!
Kingy Comedy hits the Kingscliff Bowlo on Thursday 9
JULY - this is a FREE show.
Regular free comedy nights will then be held the
second Thursday every month! These are shows that
would usually cost upwards of $20 so it’s great value
to be getting it for nothing! More money to spend at
the bar…or the bistro!
There is limited seating so get in early to secure a
seat.
Doors open at 7.30pm. Show starts at 8pm.
Bistro open from 5.30pm so grab a seat and enjoy
a traditional style bistro featuring an awesome
schnitzel or steak!
