ABOUT THE RIVERINA COMEDY CLUB
Since bursting onto the scene as a 2015 National Finalist at the Deadly Funny Awards at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Wagga Wagga born stand-up comedian Dane Simpson and his wife Eleanor have always felt passionately about building the local comedy scene. So, Riverina Comedy Club was born.
Dane & Eleanor started Riverina Comedy Club from scratch, using old DJ speakers and a wonky mic stand in an open beer garden. Since then, the Riverina Comedy Club has grown exponentially, from having 5 reluctant local people performing at the first show to having more than 65 regional comedians in their regular rotation. Riverina Comedy Club is now a monthly comedy show in Wagga Wagga.
MC DANE SIMPSON
Dane comes from a long line of funny buggers. A wisecracking Dad, a cleverly cutting Mum, hilarious grandparents, and generations of jokers, pranksters and yarnspinners. Now Dane is here putting the 'rad' into 'traditional'. For 60,000 years of laughs, book now.
