BENDIGO Comedy Festival organisers have announced the list of performers for Big Grebby and Poppa\u2019s Local Line Up Show.<\/p>\n
Described by festival organisers as \u201ccrazy basement bin laughs\u201d the show will see some of the region\u2019s funniest take to the stage at the Engine Room.<\/p>\n
Patti Fawcett will be on stage at the Comedy Festival Gala, and the Local Line Up Show as well as performing in a split bill with Dane Knowles.<\/p>\n
She said looked forward to seeing the locals perform the most.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Gala\u2019s always fun, but the local show is Poppa and [Ash] Greblo\u2019s show, and those guys are so much fun to work with,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Bendigo Comedy Festival\u2019s Saturday night local show is aimed at giving local acts in the scene a stage, as well as encouraging unknown comedians to step into the spotlight.<\/p>\n
The line-up for this year also includes locals Mike Elliott, Jim Hallawell, Kasey Mills and Kladdin Fotherington, but Fawcett said she\u2019s avoiding looking at the full bill to keep the set list a surprise.<\/p>\n
Fawcett, who performed in the Festival\u2019s Gala last year, said she and fellow comedian Dane Knowles had been asked to join the organising committee and perform as a duo in their own show.<\/p>\n
