Cracker Night

It seems a career in breakfast radio hasn’t slowed Matt Okine down on the stand-up front, guiding us through a line-up of diverse comics at Sydney Comedy Festival’s Cracker Night and the Enmore Theatre crowd seemed up for anything after braving Sydney’s battering storm.

Gen Fricker’s acerbic tweeness and Louisa Omielan’s rhythmic, almost 4/4 time delivery had the crowd immediately on their side. Although seasoned American Jen Kirkman’s rapid-fire delivery was almost too much for some of the crowd, her fans were certainly in attendance. The bar has definitely been set high for the remainder of the comedy festival.
