Melbourne Comedy Festival Extends Tim Ferguson's CARRY A BIG STICK Thru April 22

By: Apr. 04, 2012

Fans of television legend and comic great Tim Ferguson have been given a second chance to see his upcoming Melbourne Comedy Festival show Carry a Big Stick, following a sell-out of the show well in advance of opening night.

After all tickets to Ferguson's comedy season were quickly snapped up, the Festival has moved him to a larger venue (Supper Room in the Melbourne Town Hall) on selected nights to allow 700 extra tickets to go on sale.

From touring the world as one of the Doug Anthony All Stars, to his life as a network celebrity, Tim speaks (and sings) about his adventures with wicked wit and admirable honesty. Tim has battled Multiple Sclerosis for much of his adult life. Speaking about it publicly for the first time in 2010, he said, "It’s not for wimps." and "You can laugh, or you can cry. Laughing takes fewer tissues."

Tim warns audiences to "Be mildly nervous. Be very mildly nervous."

The performances will take place 10-22 April, 2012 (no Mondays) at Melbourne Town Hall. Tickets are $28.00 Full, $25.00 Conc, $24 Groups 6+, $25 Tightarse Tuesdays. All performances are at 6:00pm (5 pm Sundays). For more information, visit http://www.comedyfestival.com.au.
