Hilarity Bites Comedy Club feat. Mick Neven, Dean Coughlin, and host Nicky Wilkinson
Show details:
Mick Neven
One of Australia’s busiest comedians, Mick is just as comfortable on-stage at the biggest comedy clubs and corporate functions in the city, and the smallest venues and sporting clubs in the country.
His material is observant, sharp and satirical, highlighting the foibles of modern life in a likeable and relatable fashion. Intelligent, hilarious and always good-natured, delivered with high-energy and a never-ending stream of punchlines that continually take his jokes to the next level.
With 15 years as a stand-up comedian under his belt, Mick now headlines all of the major comedy clubs in Australia, as well as throughout Asia. He’s performed two solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, seven Melbourne International Comedy Festival solo shows and he’s completed three tours of duty to entertain Australian, UK, US and Canadian Armed Forces personnel serving in the Middle East.
