Kent Valentine and A Fistfull of Rainbows

Posted by Mick (SplaTT) Stanic under: Events .


Who amongst us doesn’t enjoy a good laugh?

For those of you that do…if you are in Melbourne between the 20th of March and the 12th of April 2008, don’t miss the opportunity to see one of the best stand-up comics around, Kent Valentine, performing his latest solo show, “A Fistful of Rainbows” at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

From the Comedy Festival website…

An epic adventure about change and diffracting light that spans the globe and features napalm, witches and vikings. It’s more ‘dark side of the moon’ than ‘rainbow connection’. Two hemispheres, two languages, too many jokes (for this blurb).

A Fistful of Rainbows is Kent Valentine’s third solo Melbourne Comedy Festival show. His first two shows Be My (Kent) Valentine and What Would Batman Do? were both critically acclaimed and featured in The Age’s top festival picks in 2006 and 2007 respectively.

Kent is one of the most prolific gigging comics on the Australian circuit. Still relatively young blood in the world of comedy, Kent is fast on the rise, earning the respect of peers and fans alike.

I’ve been a big fan of Kents since i gave him his first job at Singelton OgilvyInteractive and had a minor sonsorship involvement with his 2006 show at the festival, “Be my (Kent) Velentine”, so buy some tickets and go along to the Portland Hotel and have a great laugh :)
