Children are Stinky

Children Are Stinky is an exciting award-winning children’s comedy by Circus Trick Tease!

Set in the 90s, with plenty of in-jokes and cleverly choreographed nostalgia, parents are in for a rollicking trip down memory lane. This is an enjoyable show for all ages that encourages the slight of years to be proud of themselves.

Children Are Stinky challenges children to step on stage and prove themselves worthy, smart, coordinated and creative against ridiculous circus performers. The results are heartwarming and hilarious, creating wonderful interactions and an audience of proud kids and parents.

Still buzzing from sell-out seasons across the globe, this show is building momentum and continuing to captivate adults and children alike.

This is circus fun for the whole family!  “Kylie and Jason lead us through a fluid and fast-paced hour of amazing acrobatics, brilliant balancing, hypnotic hula hooping and a smattering of stinky jokes all set to a great 90s soundtrack, sure to keep the audience moving” - Edinburgh Festival for Kids.

Lawrence Mooney: Dead Set Country

Mooney’s gone country. Deep country. Dead Set Country. He likes the word country because it’s got a rude word in it if you EMPHasise it properly.

Saturday 6 September, 2025 | 8pm | GPAC Main Theatre 

Mooney’s gone country. Deep country. Dead Set Country. He likes the word country because it’s got a rude word in it if you EMPHasise it properly. 

Dead Set Country is Lawrence’s brand new hit show that’s all about a city boy gone bush. Roughed up by locals, mourning dead wombats, talking with horses and having an abiding affair with a tractor - in short Mooney is Dead Set Country.  

Following on from the acclaim for his past three shows Beauty, Embracing Your Limitations and Pigeonhole he’s back with Dead Set Country. This time he’s covered in dust, speaking slower and line dancing.   

It’s Clarkson’s Farm meets Lawrence Mooney’s head on collision with country Australia. “You’re not from round here are ya mister?”

Lawrence Mooney is an acclaimed stand-up comedian who across a thirty-year career has been regarded by critics and fans as properly hilarious whether appearing as himself, one of his many characters, live or on the tele. Lawrence has toured the country with his best mates in the hit show The Comedians and can be seen regularly on The Front Bar on Seven and The Back Page on Fox Sports. 

https://www.lawrencemooney.com/

“Australia’s Greatest Comedian … a sheer comic genius!” Glam Adelaide ★★★★★

“A true master...Lawrence Mooney just continues to smash it” Scenestr

“Mooney’s ability to transform ordinary rural life into laugh-out-loud brilliance”  **** THE LIST UK

Isaac Butterfield

ISAAC BUTTERFIELD IS BACK WITH A BRAND-NEW SHOW IN 2025!

Thursday 12 June, 2025 | 8.30pm | GPAC Main Theatre

Australia’s favourite bearded menace is hitting the road again—bigger, bolder, and more unapologetic than ever. Isaac Butterfield’s 2025 tour is not for the easily offended (or anyone still clinging to their virtue signals). This is stand-up comedy with no safety net—just brutal honesty, belly laughs, and the kind of jokes that will have you questioning if you’re going straight to hell for laughing.

From racking up millions of views on YouTube to sold-out shows across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond, Isaac has built a reputation for saying what everyone else is too scared to. And this year? Nothing is off-limits.
BRING YOUR SENSE OF HUMOUR (AND A THICK SKIN).
