After leaving crowds rolling in the aisles with laughter during Adelaide Fringe, funnyman Lawrence Mooney is taking his new show, Dead Set Country, on the road from August to November.
Mooney’s new hour of stand-up is about a city boy taking on the Australian outback and has been described as “Clarkson’s Farm meets Lawrence Mooney’s head-on collision with country Australia.”
The stand-up gig has received rave reviews, with The List calling Dead Set Country an “energetic show with physicality and great crowd-work.”
Mooney has locked in 27 dates across four months, kicking things off on Friday, August 1 at Illawarra Performing Arts Centre in Wollongong. The sometime panel member of The Front Bar performs in a wide range of venues and towns, including Albury, Toowoomba, Newcastle and Ballarat, before a final encore show in Adelaide at Her Majesty’s Theatre on Friday, November 21.
