Frontier Comedy Bringing World Class Laughs Across The Country This Festival Season!

Frontier Comedy are proud to announce twelve world class shows for the 2018 festival season; with dates just announced for Adelaide Fringe, Brisbane Comedy Festival, FRINGE WORLD, Sydney Comedy Festival, Perth Comedy Festival and Melbourne International Comedy Festival!

There's something for everyone; from online superstars Alex Williamson, Josh Wade & Neel Kolhatkar; to critically acclaimed gems Alice Fraser & Amos Gill; cult hits James Donald Forbes McCann & Pauly Fenech; the best up and coming US comedians in Star-Spangled Stand-Up; to international comedy icons Jeff Green (UK), Jim Gaffigan (US), Jonathan Pie (UK) and Shawn Wayans (US)!

Comedian, actor, online content creator and "one of the world's most promising comedic talents" (Under The Gun) Alex Williamson (The Slot, Me and My Mates Vs The Zombie Apocalypse) is back with a new stand-up show So Wrong, It's Wrong.

Alex Williamson is a global comedy sensation. Last year alone he sold out festival seasons across Australia and the UK, as well as two tours across New Zealand and Australia. Be prepared for Alex's twisted outlook to shake your faith in humanity, before restoring it ever so slightly, then smashing it once again beyond repair in this one hour honesty session.

ALICE FRASER
ETHOS

From Cambridge scholar to corporate lawyer, Alice Fraser has evolved into an award-winning performer who has played sold-out shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and beyond. After selling out seasons and touring the world to unanimous critical acclaim with her last three solo shows Savage, The Resistance and Empire, Alice is back with ETHOS.

ETHOS is a silly, funny and smart show that explores Artificial Intelligence and what it means to be human. From Golem and Frankenstein's monster to the prospect of superhuman AI's, we've always been fascinated by non-human minds. In her new show, Alice will attempt to explain our world to a brilliant, but naive newly created artificial mind; touching on human topics such as our society of contradictions.
