Australia’s finest Indigenous Stand Up at Side Splitting Comedy
Sean Choolburra is without a doubt, Australia’s hottest and deadliest indigenous comedian.
He wowed crowds at the Melbourne Comedy Festival with the Age raving that he: ’Tells stories of his life that hilariously incorporate music and dance’.
His first trip to the enormous Edinburgh Festival has seen him invited back for a special performance. In a city with thousands of shows on at anyone time this is testament to the quality of Sean’s work. Most comics go unnoticed at Edinburgh. Sean Choolburra did not.
Sean entrances audiences with his unique brand of stand up, yarns, didge playing and rapping. Sean crosses the cultural divide and audiences come to understand the true meaning and origins of the word ‘Deadly’. Where, when, how and who really invented it.
Sean also does some impressive Michael Jackson tribute comedy, one of the few comics who not only looks like Michael in his thriller phase, but can dance like him as well.
Sean shares his observations with charm, cheek and charisma, a style that has naturally developed into his own brand of contemporary black comedy.
Sean’s history includes performances at the Sydney Opera House and the MICF. In 2007 he hosted the Deadly Funnies final at the Melbourne Town Hall.
He is in constant demand as an MC/Comic on the corporate circuit, has toured extensively and recently performed at the Darwin festival, the Adelaide Fringe festival, The Woodford Folk festival and the Croc festival. Television appearances include the NRL Footy Show and Network 10’s ’Thank God You’re Here’ and Rove.
Sean appears as the feature act at Currumbin RSL’s Side Splitting Comedy, alongside MC Mandy Nolan and support Mark McConville.
Mark has featured on the Comedy Channels “Home Delivered Comedy” and has been heard around the country under the “Home Grown Humour” banner. But Mark, like any great act, is best appreciated live!
Mark’s approach is up front and personal. His direct manner means the audience is engaged from the moment he steps onto the stage. Short and punchy, his gags cut to the chase, giving the audience a full physical workout of the best possible medicine – laughter.
