<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSunshine Coast Comedy Gala<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nLive comedy is such a weird and wonderful beast \u2014 how do comedians do it?!? And why?!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This line-up is tops, too. It\u2019s Curated by the Sunshine Coast\u2019s Funny Coast Crew \u2014 some of the most reliably hilarious people on the national circuit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are different tones of funny, different perspectives and all of them are masters of holding a mirror up \u2014 as if they\u2019re taking a group selfie \u2014 pointing and laughing and man it feels good.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The energy in the room is as awesome as the crowd. You move between trusting, or judging, each comic. It\u2019s a full body experience. And much recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We lucked in when he moved to town. Chucho is a multi-talented and highly intuitive musician who also happens to have come up with his own sign language to conduct a group of musicians on the regular \u2014 and he\u2019s leading the 100-strong drummers for this work. Your bones will vibrate, and you\u2019ll feel absolutely alive for having seen this. Pretty sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll feel something. What that is, will be unique to you, but you can trust that the people presenting this to you, care very much about pushing new ideas to the front.

The 10-day offering takes place all over the Sunshine Coast \u2014 beaches, the hinterland, warehouses. The lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At our core: we celebrate place \u2014 it\u2019s the heartbeat of the festival \u2014 and our programming reflects this. But, more importantly, we honour the Traditional Custodians of the Country on which we stand \u2014 the Kabi Kabi Peoples and Jinibara Peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our events vary. And they\u2019re (almost) always in spectacular locations. There\u2019s music, art, theatre, dance, workshops, ceremony, and plenty for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
