Supporting the Crusty Demons Motorsport Tour might seem an unlikely gig for a comedian, yet it’s exactly what Werribee stand-up Brett Hunter will be doing next month.
The 39 year old will join the freestyle motocross group at shows in Coffs Harbour on November 4 and the Sunshine Coast on November 19.
“When you’re doing comedy you take everything you can,” said Hunter of the unlikely partnership which began when he interviewed them on his show on community radio station, Wyn FM.
“We gelled and they asked to come and do a show to see how we went and they loved me.”
That first show was at Calder Park in March.
“It was such a good experience, 5000 people, its was unreal,” said Hunter of the show where he acted as MC and event announcer while telling gags in-between.
“I had kids taking photos and asking for autographs and I’m like ‘I’m not the star i’m just the MC.’
Prior commitments prevented him from doing more Crusty Demons shows following his debut, but Hunter hopes these upcoming dates will be that start of an ongoing gig.
“If they go well there might be more to come.”
