Billy Crystal to Perform in Adelaide in July

Tony and Emmy Award-winning comedian, actor, producer, writer and director Billy Crystal will tour Australia this July and August and a special brand new show has just been announced for Adelaide.

Billy will perform a hilarious evening of comedy on Sunday 24th July at the Festival Theatre with a special start time of 7pm. Tickets are priced from $99 and go on sale on Thursday 23rd June.

Joining Billy on tour as a special guest is celebrated Australian interviewer Andrew Denton.

The evening promises to be a hilarious and personal evening as Crystal provides his unique observations on the world around and reflects on his life and career so far.

A stand-up comic turned television star, Crystal found fame as a movie funnyman with starring roles in blockbusters such as When Harry Met Sally, City Slickers and Analyze This. He was much loved as the acclaimed nine-time host of the Academy Awards, an achievement topped only by Bob Hope, who hosted the Oscars 19 times. Also an award winning author, Crystal's latest memoir, Still Foolin' 'Em: Where I've Been, Where I'm Going, and Where the Hell Are My Keys? was an instant NY Times best seller.

Crystal last toured Australia, Melbourne, and Sydney in 2007 for his hugely successful play 700 Sundays, for which he won a Tony Award and Helpmann Award.

This year, for the first time, he will perform shows in Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be back in Australia. My experience with 700 Sundays was fantastic. Audiences were sensational and the people we met were unforgettable."

"The show will be spontaneous, funny and unpredictable. I tell stories, I perform, we show film clips. 'It's not only a conversation with Andrew, it's with the audience as well."

"It is a thrill to bring the humour, wisdom and wit of Billy Crystal to an Australian audience," Dainty Group founder Paul Dainty said. "I look forward to the stories and the laughter."
