Gordon Southern: Great Southern Man
3 x Perth Fringe World Comedy Award Winner. Adelaide Fringe Comedy Award Winner 2022.
New jokes and stories from the globe-trotting Brit who now calls Australia home. Following on from his "accidental Covid trilogy" and the barnstorming success of "A Brief History of History", this is a return to proper no-frills stand-up and high-voltage anecdotage from one of the best in the business.
“Fresh and relatable… plenty of laughter, astoundment and unavoidable smiles” ★★★★ Adelaide Advertiser, 2022
“Inclusive and genuinely funny… A glittering jewel.” ★★★★ X-Press Magazine, 2020
“Joy personified” ★★★★ Herald Sun, 2019
“Full to bursting with comedic gold“ ★★★★★ Broadway Baby, 2017
Oh, and he wrote a film that won six awards but doesn't like to bang on about it.
