Bob Downe … Smokin'

Jump to reviews or comments

More classic hits! More great prizes! Same hair! Lighter in the loafers and funnier than ever, Australia's Clown Prince of Polyester was top of the Edinburgh pops in 2011 and now he's back by popular demand! Direct from blitzing Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe, you'll laugh yourself silly as you sing-along with Bob. ‘Bob Downe is a treasure … blessed with a mellifluous voice and a gift for parody like no other’ (Melbourne Herald Sun, 2012). ‘Never better. His show is a great highlight - funny, tuneful, entertaining.’ (Adelaide Sunday Mail, 2012). Ages 14+.

Style over substance

From the minute he pirouettes onto stage all 70s gear, mega-watt grin and fake blonde hair, it’s clear Aussie’s ‘clown prince of polyester’ is having a ball, as he knocks out one karaoke hit after another and embarks on some name-that-tune competitions.
