FRINGE 2017: COMEDY – Aunty Donna: Big Boys – Arts Theatre – 5K

COMEDY – Australia: A Whinging Pom’s Guide – PJ O’Brien’s – 3.5K
Daniel Willis is a whinging pom and proud of it. On the balcony of PJ O’Brien’s on cheapo Tuesday, Willis entertained a charming crowd of 14 people. The size of the crowd did not phase this seasoned comedian, as he took the time to shake the hands of his audience members, say hello, and genuinely …
