Brisbane Comedy Festival 2011
Brisbane Powerhouse and Token Events present
Sam Simmons: The Precise History of Things
Tue 22 - Sun 27 Mar 2011
Sam comes to the Brisbane Comedy Festival direct from his sell-out season at the Adelaide Fringe, where he received 5 stars from the Advertiser and took out the Adelaide Fringe Best Comedy Award.
One night on Europa (one of the 63 moons of Jupiter) in the year 4026, a futuristic space daddy is reading his daughter bedtime stories from The Precise History of Things*, the best-selling compendium of the long-dead earth’s history...
Quite simply there is no one else like Sam Simmons. His shows are extraordinary – mind-bendingly odd and full of heart at the same time.
Don’t miss your chance to see Australia’s most original comedy creation as heard on triple j and seen on the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala.
*like Chinese whispers via carrier pigeon after eating a fortune cookie...confused.
“A masterpiece of surreality, silliness and sadness wrapped up in a comedy performance of such passion and complexity that it approaches genius *****” The Scotsman
“The most absurdly crazy world orbiting the Fringe, featuring some of the most original comic concepts and laugh out loud moments of any Edinburgh show in the past 20 years” The Herald, UK
