There’s nothing like a leadership spill to give a comedian material.
Rod Quantock and Hung Le are performing their Rubber Chicken Soup show in the Newport Comedy Room this month.
Le, who arrived in Australia as a refugee in 1975 after the Vietnam War, said the pair were compelled to reflect on recent events in Canberra.
“I was just on a cruise ship and then come back, got a new prime minister,” he said.
“Four days I was away.
“You can plan your whole life around new prime ministers now. Every time we get a new prime minister, I go and tune my car.
“Peter Dutton wanted to be prime minister and all of a sudden there were smiling pictures of him.
“He’d never smiled in his life. He’s got the resting angry face and all of a sudden he’s smiling.
“He didn’t fool anyone anyway.”
Looking at the new cabinet, Le said it’s a case of if you don’t laugh, you cry.
The show will end with an original song titled, I Still call Australia by Phone.
Rubber Chicken Soup is on September 14 at 8pm at Newport Bowling Club, 4 Market Street, Newport.
Tickets at $30/$35 are available at www.stellavision.com.au
