Grab a mate and head in to the Tuggeranong Arts Centre for one of the best nights of laughs you’ll have this year at Club Sandwich Comedy! Held only twice a year, the show is lovingly curated and hosted by award-winning national headliner, Chris Ryan, and is turning into a cult favourite in the Valley with a fresh line-up of hand-picked favourites to tickle your funny bones.
Just like the layers of its namesake, the delicious room service favourite, this month’s show is full of tasty treats, headlined by RAW Comedy National Finalist, Caitlin Maggs, whose effortlessly funny, charismatic style has made her a rising star on the Canberra comedy scene. Caitlin will be strongly supported by RAW Comedy National Finalist and surreal explorer of sexism and race, Suma Iyer; a character comedian who builds impossible imaginary worlds, Chris Marlton; manic musical maestro/ suburban Dad Jeffrey Charles, and the young man with a sardonic grin and a keen eye for the hypocrisy of overachievers, Simon Bower.
