Monty Franklin Announces ‘Is That Your Mate?’ Australian Tour

Catch the LA-based Aussie comic at Rhino Room this November.

Aussie ex-pat comedian Monty Franklin returns home in November with his brand new stand-up show, Is That Your Mate?.

Riding high from the success of his recent Yeah Nah tour that sold out shows across Australia, America and Europe, Franklin’s upcoming jaunt promises to be another raucous run of shows that will have comedy fans rolling in the aisles.

Having opened for the likes of Rob Schneider, Joe Rogan and Jim Breuer, the LA-based Franklin has announced eight Aussie shows in comedy rooms across the nation.

Franklin’s Is That Your Mate? tour begins with a gig at Melbourne’s The Capital on Friday 7 November. Shows follow at Sydney’s Factory Theatre (Friday 14 November), Canberra’s The Street Theatre (Saturday 15 November), Newcastle’s Comedy Club (Sunday 16 November) and Maroochydore’s Solbar (Tuesday 18 November).

Then Franklin’s off to Brisbane’s Powerhouse (Friday 21 November), Gold Coast’s Soundlounge (Saturday 22 November), Adelaide’s Rhino Room (Thursday 27 November) and Perth’s Astor Theatre (Friday 28 November), with the final date of the tour taking place at Darwin’s The Studio on Saturday 29 November.

Franklin has amassed over 1 billion views online for his witty takes on the world and has become a regular performer at esteemed LA comedy clubs The Improv and The Laugh Factory.

Along with his booming stand-up career, Franklin has appeared in Netflix's Real Rob, FOX's New Girl and Hulu's Becoming Bond and Hollywood Darlings.

He’s also co-written his debut feature film, The Great Emu War, alongside fellow funnymen Rob Schneider and John Cleese. The film, based on the true story of Australia’s bizarre battle with wild emus, is also set to star the three writers alongside fellow comics Jim Jefferies and Rhys Darby.

Is That Your Mate? is one comedy show not to be missed, with audiences in for a night of laughs and good vibes when Franklin makes his Aussie return next month.
