Charlie Pickering - Impractical Jokes

After selling out his solo run at the Soho Theatre on London's West End and packing houses at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Melbourne Comedy Festival and London's Comedy Store, Charlie Pickering brings his lastest show to Brisbane.

In 1986 Charlie Pickering’s Dad was pushed into a pool by his best friend. What followed was 10 years of payback involving three toilets, a poodle, daffodils and the State Emergency Service. When maturity is the first casualty of war, things tend to escalate.

Charlie is a natural story-teller. His 2006 Melbourne Comedy Festival show, Auto, was a collection of true stories from adolescence that received a Barry Award Nomination for Most Outstanding Show. From there it played to packed houses at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival and Edinburgh Fringe, earning five star reviews, an ever-growing legion of international fans and a nomination for Best International Act (NZ).

Following his Edinburgh success, Charlie was booked to play legendary London Comedy Store, and performed a sold out solo run at the Soho Theatre on London’s West End. He then made his UK TV debut on Paramount TV’s Comedy Store Live.
