Two comedy shows. One ticket. Huge laughs! Brought to you by Blah Blah Blah Improv.

The first half is packed with the fast-paced comedy theatre games Gold Coast audiences have come to know and love at Blah Blah Blah Improv, where improv comedians turn your suggestions into hilarious scenes on the spot. If you enjoy Whose Line Is It Anyway?, you'll feel right at home!

In the second half, get ready for special guests Asian Aunties – an award-winning Brisbane improv comedy duo. Aunty Rani from Sri Lanka (Himali Ratnayake) and Aunty Maria from the Philippines (Janette McBride) are shimmying in with their signature blend of brutal honesty, invaluable wisdom, and unstoppable Aunty energy that can both bless you and roast you in the same breath. Write down your problems and put them in the rice cooker, so the Aunties can serve you their most generous (and hilarious) advice. They'll then improvise scenes inspired by your juicy dilemmas.

Family-friendly. Improv Comedy FriYAY by Blah Blah Blah Improv is the only comedy night on the Gold Coast where you can bring the kids and have an alcoholic beverage! This show usually sells out, so book early!

N.B. access to this venue is via a staircase.

Guest performers for Improv Comedy FriYAY are funded by City of Gold Coast Arts Development Fund.

Immediately after Improv Comedy FriYAY, you can catch a 60-minute stand-up comedy show by Chris Martin aptly named Chris Martin Not the Guy from Coldplay.
