Tony Lyall - Not Another New Zealand Comedian

We love a kiwi comic here in Aus. Tony's trying to grab on their coattails on the ride to the top, but it's not working, and that's why he's playing to 30 people in a bar in a back alley, he jokes. 

Tony's one of the best to do it, from the second he stepped on stage, it was a non stop assualt of jokes, whether it's reacting to someone in the crowd or throwing in a few ad-libs, he came loaded up, and it paid off. 

While some experiences in life, career comedian or not, seem rife with comdic value, others come and go without hanging around. But Tony's a pro at mining magic out of the mundane, highlights came with jokes about buying a bed and going to a butcher, both expertly crafted stories that had you hooked like you were listening to a true crime podcast.

While the show had the right amount of stuff you'd expect, it's always a joy when a comedian throws in a few jokes for themselves - a few jokes didn't get much reaction, but were placed in the set for Tony's benefit only, which helped to give an interesting extra dimension to it all.
