OBSERVER: Stand Up For Seniors
Tasmanian comedian Daryl Peebles is bringing his stand-up comedy show Stand Up for Seniors … but not necessarily on the bus to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from March 26 to April 6 at 6pm at Wheat, Wine and Whisky, Collingwood.
Describing himself as an ‘elder-comic’ entering his ‘final quarter in the football game of life,’ Daryl says his show is primarily “about ageing and our need not to let this natural progression get us down, as well as appreciating the funny side of age-related experiences. I also suggest to younger audiences that they come along to help plan for their own inevitable ageing processes.”
Daryl Peebles has contributed to Australia’s entertainment/comedy scene as a writer and performer for over the past 50 years.
He has written several comedies with theatrical performances in every Australian state, New Zealand and the UK.
He has been writing for the Old Nick Company University Revue since 1979 and the annual Bawdy Pantomime in Hobart since its inception 21 years ago.
He has worked as a comedian in most Australian states and in Canada, and for 30 years has been the debonair half of Tasmania’s longest-running comedy duo, Novak ‘n’ Good.
These days he is a regular participant in the Mental Health Week Comedy Roadshow and regularly appears at Probus, U3A, Men’s Sheds and Seniors’ Week events. His PhD explored the value of humour in workplaces.
Daryl says he is thrilled to be bringing his 45-minute stand-up show Stand Up for Seniors … but not necessarily on the bus to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
