 Bowlers Club, July 31

Hornsby RSL, Aug 21

 

 

   

kitty flanagan 1.jpgInternational superstar Kitty Flanagan will host a fantastic night of comedy and cabaret in two Wicked Women's Nights later this year.

Joining Kitty on stage will be the hilarious, multi talented Jackie Loeb , television's latest sensation Amelia Jane Hunter (star of SBS top rating comedy show The Squiz), English woman abroad Julia Clark and deadpan Amanda Gray.

The first night will be held at The Bowlers Club in York St, the City on Friday, June 31 and the second in Hornsby RSL's palatial auditorium on Friday August 21.

Burlesque dancers and more women comics will round out an outstanding bill on a night to remember.

Tickets are $35 each, available through Moshtix.

Kitty Flanagan (pictured left) has just returned to Australia after eight successful years in Britain.

She has played all the top venues in London, Paris, Berlin and Dubai.

She has starred in all the world's big TV comedy shows such as Full Frontal (Aus), The Sketch Show (UK) and The World Stands Up (US).

jackie_loeb2.jpgComedian, singer, actor and musician, Jackie Loeb (pictured right) is one of Australia's most versatile performers.

Her show Soapy Women was a smash hit at this year's Sydney Comedy Festival and she was outrageously funny as the warm-up act for the recent Australian tour of Puppetry of the Penis.

She has taken her highly original brand of humour across Australia and the UK where her mimicry skills have knocked her audiences for six.

No one from Tracy Chapman to Shirley Bassey is spared.

Like Kitty she starred in Full Frontal and has made guest appearances on a myriad of TV and radio shows.

amelia_final_065cor.jpgamanda gray pic.jpgAward-winning comedian Amelia Jane Hunter (pictured left) is a Darwin girl who demonstrates exquisite bogan grace.

Outrageous, politically incorrect, opinionated, profane and extremely lovable, whe is the thinking man's crumpet and the working women's pin-up.

Super Bitch Amanda Gray (pictured middle right) is ``drizabone'' with brilliant comedic timing - a truly wicked woman.

julia clark 2009.jpgJulia Clark's (pictured bottom right) unflinching comic style has made her a rising star on the Sydney comedy scene.

She takes an irreverant look at her new home country, making wry observations on the darker side of life.

It's your entertainment dollar that helps Kiva lend money to people to buy the proverbial fishing rod so that they can make a living, expand their small businesses, and repay the loan.
The money repaid is then loaned to another person in need, and in this way your gift keeps on giving.
Since November 2007, Comedy on the Rox has made loans to one woman in Cambodia and three women in Nigeria plus more  You can read all their stories on our Kiva lender page, and find out how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life.
