The two-hour Comedy Under The Stars extravaganza on March 9 will showcase the best in the business…The Umbilical Brothers are an international comedy phenomenon, fusing amazing vocal and physical abilities with a mix of theatre, slapstick and stand-up inside a world where all the rules are broken. They’ve been on Letterman, The Tonight Show and Colbert, won BAFTA’s, Emmy’s and Logies and toured 38 countries around the world.
Comedy duo, The Umbilical Brothers
Dave Hughes is heard daily across Australia on the Hit radio network drive show with Kate Langbroek, but his passion for stand-up comedy has been a key part of his career since 1999. Since then Hughes has become a household name and also been part of TV shows like The Glasshouse, AFL Before the Game, The Project and Rove.
Cal Wilson came across the Tasman in 2003 and has gone on to become one of our most popular comedians, and a perennial favourite on TV shows Spicks and Specks, Good News Week, Thank God You’re Here and Problem. Her stand-up shows are as engaging as they are hilarious, often bringing the audience’s stories to life alongside her own.
Nick Cody’s style of easy-going comedy sees him consistently sell out shows and rack up rave reviews all over the world. He’s a regular on radio and TV and also appears in the Australian movie ‘The Merger’.
Framed by the picturesque Sydney Harbour skyline at dusk, the American Express Twilight at Taronga 2019 Summer Concert Series is one of the best live music events in Australia and is held on the lawns of Taronga Zoo’s unique natural amphitheatre.
In 2019 Twilight at Taronga is presented by The American Express Music Backers Program, an initiative committed to supporting the Australian music industry by giving music venues, businesses, artists and fans the opportunity to share in a grant program, valued at $1 million.
As a not for profit organisation, all proceeds from American Express Twilight at Taronga go back into Taronga’s ongoing conservation and research work, so they are concerts with a conscience. One such initiative is Litter Free Oceans, which aims to protect our marine life and oceans.
All tickets to American Express Twilight at Taronga are not just for a night of great music; shows can be enjoyed with a pre-ordered picnic hamper as you watch the sunset in a Chillazy chair, or food and drink can be purchased on the night from a variety of food trucks and on-site bars. Each ticket also includes free public transport.
