One Night Stand Up:

ABC COMEDY special on TV

.

.

Not satisfied with just throwing an epic free One Night Stand concert in St Helens, triple j Drive hosts Veronica & Lewis present you with triple j’s One Night Stand Up.

The evening of comedy will kick off a weekend of entertainment in St Helens, giving triple j and St Helens a low- key way to get to know each other, like sliding into each other’s DMs, before the big date on Saturday night.

Hosted by Veronica & Lewis, the one-off event will feature stand-up sets from some of Australia’s cleverest comedians, including Becky Lucas, Michael Hing, triple j’s Gen Fricker and Craig Quartermaine, and will be brought to a living room near you by ABC Comedy and iview at 8:45pm Sunday 2 September.

Between them, triple j’s Drive hosts Veronica Milsom and Lewis Hobba have an impressive list of comedy credits between them, from writing and performing on ABC’s Hungry Beast, Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell and A Rational Fear, to performing live solo shows in The Melbourne and Sydney International Comedy Festivals.

Becky Lucas hardly needs an introduction, having spent years writing and performing critically acclaimed live stand-up comedy, as well as appearing in hit TV shows Comedy Up Late and Please Like Me and co-writing The Other Guy with Matt Okine.

From SBS Viceland’s The Feed and Free to a Good Home podcast, Michael Hing’s comedy nous spans from writer to TV and radio host and a regular on the stand-up circuit.

As well as making listeners laugh on the daily, triple j Lunch host Gen Fricker’s unique blend of musical comedy and sassy stand up has seen her sell out comedy shows at The Melbourne, Sydney, Perth & Comedy Festivals.

After storming Edinburgh Fringe early in his career, journalist, comedian and TV writer Craig Quartermaine has gone on to perform stand up on stages around the world, and now ticks St Helens off his bucket list.

Tune in to ABC COMEDY and iview from 8:45pm Sunday 2 September to watch the One Night Stand Up hilarity unfold as six of your fave funny people take over the regional town of St Helens for one night only.

Then join us on ABC and iview from 9:30pm Sunday 2 September to watch the triple j One Night Stand concert highlights featuring live performances from Vance Joy, Peking Duk, Tkay Maidza, Middle Kids and Alex the Astronaut in a 90min live music TV special.
