TIME: Doors open 5.30pm | Show : 6pm - 7pm

What happens when a well-meaning comedian makes a cheeky joke about ISIS… during a live interview with Tim Cahill… on national TV… right before a World Cup qualifier against Honduras?
A full-blown international incident, apparently.
In this hilariously outrageous true story, Pete Helliar finds himself at the centre of a media firestorm after a throwaway line on The Project goes global.
It’s a wild, hilarious deep dive into intent, outrage, and the terrifying power of one well-timed punchline. Was Pete off side—or just ahead of the game?
“This is pro-comedy.” ★★★★★ The AU Review
“Peter Helliar makes the difficult business of being funny look dead easy.” Adelaide Advertiser

In 2026 Lloyd will have been a professional stand-up comedian for twenty years. And it doesn’t get any easier. Not the comedy but writing these little blurbs.
A brand-new stand-up comedy show from a man that sounds like a YouTube video played at half speed. Come along and hear about Lloyd’s problems with every other single person on earth. May contain jokes about giraffes, clouds and salt.
As seen on Have You Been Paying Attention?, Thank God You’re Here, Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee, The Hundred With Andy Lee.
