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!
