Showcasing some of Australia’s funniest comedians with disability or chronic illness.
This raucous accessible comedy event boasts a line - up of award winning performers with entertaining and uncensored insights into disability and oh-so-much-more!
With razor-sharp wit and undeniable charm, the Are You Pulling My Leg? line-upbrings to the stage hilarious and uncensored insights into disability. From awkward encounters to side-splitting observations that cut to the quick, no subject is off-limits. Venturing much further than disability, their quick quips highlight the many facets of their lives, relationships, experiences and personalities.
Discover for yourself that disabled comedians are just as funny as non-disabled comedians! The biggest joke is that they don't always get equal access to gigs, so support this show, have a laugh and help make a difference. It's that easy!
This show will be live open captioned and Auslan interpreted to help everyone get the punchlines.
Auslan interpretation is available upon request at the time of booking. Please note that we require at least 72 hours' notice for Auslan requests.

AUSLAN INTERPRETED PERFORMANCE

Auslan (Australian Sign Language) is used by the Deaf community in Australia. The aural cues that are essential to the storytelling and the theatrical experience are translated into sign language by Auslan interpreters discreetly positioned to the side of the stage for comfortable viewing by Deaf patrons. Patrons requiring this service, please select the section closest to the interpreter to ensure good sightlines.
OPEN CAPTIONED (OC) PERFORMANCE

Open Captions are visual text displayed on screens during the performance, enabling audiences to read what is being said. Caption text is prepared from the script of the performance by highly trained staff. Where open captioning is provided, it is visible from almost all seats in our venues. Please contact our Box Office if you would like further information.
RELAXED PERFORMANCE
Saturday 20 July at 8pm
Relaxed performances (RP) are open to everyone, but with modifications to sound and lighting to be more suited to patrons with autism, individuals with other disabilities that create sensory sensitivities and anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed environment.
