Oliver Hunter is bringing his unique brand of humour to Sunshine, headlining the Brimbank Comedy Festival opening night, offering a rare opportunity for locals to enjoy a night of comedy close to home.

Oliver said the opportunity to play in a local area is one he couldn’t pass up.

“There aren’t many gigs outside the city or the inner north, particularly in areas like Brunswick,” he said.

“Living in the south-east, I’ve realised that people often can’t make it into the city for shows. I’m always a big fan of bringing comedy to them.”

Oliver, who grew up in a regional area, appreciates the value of having entertainment come to you.

His upcoming show, Baby on Board, explores his journey into parenthood.

“It’s a lot about my reaction to becoming a parent and the lead-up to that, especially as a parent with a disability,” he said.

The show promises to delve into the challenges and emotions tied to parenthood, offering a relatable and entertaining experience.

For one night only, on Thursday, September 19, Oliver will be performing at the Sunshine City Club, and he’s excited to connect with audiences outside the usual comedy circuit. “It’s a fun time, and I highly recommend coming along,” he adds.

And while he didn’t want to give away too much of the show, he said “The most common question I get asked about the show; is the engagement ring story real? Yes it is…”

Tickets are available from $18, with bundles for large groups.
