WINNER FESTIVAL DIRECTORS’ AWARD, Melbourne Comedy Festival
The Aussie maestro of suburban absurdism is coming to the Sydney Opera House for 7 SHOWS ONLY! Adventure, Romance, Moths, it’s like watching a full grown man have an emotional breakdown on the monkey bars inside your mind. Problems was a bona fide hit at this year’s Edinburgh Festival and Sam’s shows have sold out at the Melbourne Comedy Festival every year since 2006, even though his mum doesn’t really like it.
A Sam Simmons live show is an experience - there is quite simply no one else quite like him in the world of comedy.

“through laughter he will seduce you” The Age
“check your sanity at the door and just laugh yourself silly” Adelaide Advertiser
“Simmons is a genius…with a dash of Mighty Boosh and a huge dollop of something that is unmistakably his own” Chortle (UK)
“so hilarious you will lose all dignity…genius” ThreeWeeks (UK)
“This is the comedy of weird, of puzzlement, of endearing eccentricity and it is glorious... an hour that will tickle your soul and make it giggle like a child again... one of the most entertaining and fascinating hours I have had” The Scotsman
Sam has been working as a stand up comedian since 2003, his live shows are a sold out staple of the Melbourne Comedy Festival and his hit debut at the Edinburgh Festival proved his international appeal.
