Presented by Geelong booking agency What’s the Joke Comedy, this weekend’s event will be headlined by comedian Lizzy Hoo.<\/p>\n

What’s the Joke Comedy owner John Watts said Hoo is a popular act in the comedy scene.<\/p>\n

“She’s known for her appearances on Just for Laughs on Channel 10, she’s a regular on there, she’s done the Oxfam Comedy Gala a couple of times, and she had a run of sell-out shows at Melbourne International Comedy Festival.”<\/p>\n

The comedian has also appeared on The Cheap Seats, Question Everything and the Weekly.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Dooley will also get behind the microphone for the comedy filled evening. Steven Bradshaw took out the award for Best New Talent at the Geelong Comedy Festival.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her material stems from her life, delivering a performance that often leaves audiences wanting more, with her observational-style resonating with many.<\/p>\n

Supporting Hoo for the evening are Melbourne comedians from the Budgy Smugglers Podcast Jeremy Dooley and Steven Bradshaw who have both performed to sold out crowds this year.<\/p>\n

Dooley is a rising star on the comedy scene and performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival this year, with a show focused around having a newborn and terrible advice.<\/p>\n

Bradshaw has also performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festival this year with a string of sellout shows and took home the best new talent award in the Geelong Comedy Festival.<\/p>\n

Watts said the comedy events at Blackman’s are always a fun day, with everyone getting into it.<\/p>\n

“It’s a good vibe at that venue and we’ve brought some pretty big quality acts there over the years.<\/p>\n

“Everyone these days needs a bit of a laugh, we’re always talking about doom and gloom a lot of the time, so it’s great to get people out laughing and having a great time.”<\/p>\n

The show will kick off at 5pm with wood fired pizzas available throughout the evening.<\/p>\n
