Comedy Allstars

The always-wry Peter Berner answers the big questions.
 

How can we laugh as the world slides into chaos? Say everything with a funny accent.
 
What punchline have you longed to find a joke for but never quite managed? "Sure, it's a quarter to four."
 
If you could call a moratorium on one over-used stand-up premise, what would it be? The differences between men and women. I get it.

Bill Hicks or Bill Cosby? Both, but never The Bill.
 
Does your mother approve of your career choice? Mum's doing life for murder in a maximum security facility without visitor privileges, so I'm not sure she's aware of what I do.
 
What's the one subject that you've never been able to make a joke about? Clowns.
 
If your comedy was a musical genre, what would it be? One you could whistle too.
 
Of what comedian would you most like to hear about the mysterious, asteroid-collision-related disappearance? I hate being picky...but that's not even a sentence. Go back, have a think about syntax and try again.
 
Complete: Two men walk into a bar... and argue about the same thing they argue about every time they have a drink together.
 
What do you want to be when you grow up? Shorter.
 
What's the funniest thing about Sydney? Rookwood.

In 30 words or less, explain what your show is about and why everyone should go and see it. Grand ideas and poo jokes. Unfortunately, everyone can't come and see it because of the limit on numbers imposed by the venue. But that's not to say you shouldn't try.

Peter Berner will be joined by Mickey Robins and Jeff Green.
