BY POPULAR DEMAND ANH RETURNS WITH HIS SMASH HIT SHOW!!
Comedian Anh Do brings his best-selling memoir, The Happiest Refugee, to life in a ground-breaking stand-up show.
Performing at West Gippsland Arts Centre, for one night only in November, this moving, inspirational and unforgettable theatre experience combines humour, real life stories, photos and filmed pieces to retell Do’s amazing story.
Anh Do travelled to Australia in 1980 on an eight metre fishing boat with 47 other Vietnamese refugees. Sick with dehydration and one person already dead, the journey was the first of many struggles for a young Do, who overcame all manner of difficulties throughout his life to become a lawyer and, in 2008, Australia’s Comedian of the Year.
Today he is one of Australia’s most sought after stand-ups, as well as a talented writer, actor, producer and Star of the ABC1 TV’s ‘Anh’s Brush With Fame”.
The Happiest Refugee: A Memoir, charts his journey from starving refugee to one of Australia’s best-loved entertainers, and was described by Russell Crowe as “the most surprising and inspiring read I have had in years,”. It has been awarded Book of the Year with sales in excess of 400,000.
Do’s struggles as a young refugee – his difficulties with English, divorcing parents, being bullied and broke, are brought to life in this hilarious but moving new stage show, garnering this happy refugee standing ovations across the country.
A-List Entertainment presents Anh Do, The Happiest Refugee – Live!!
Together for One Night Only, Ross Wilson and Richard Clapton bring you an evening of music that you will never forget.
From Daddy Cool to Mondo Rock and as a solo artist with no less than 26 ARIA Top 40 hits to his credit as a singer, songwriter and producer, Ross Wilson is one of Australia’s most awarded, respected and well-known artists! From the legendary band Daddy Cool whose number one anthem Eagle Rock smashed all previous sales records in Australia, to the 1977 formation of Mondo Rock, delivering 80’s hits ‘Cool World’, ‘State of The Heart’, ‘Chemistry’, ‘No Time’, and ‘Come Said The Boy’ and into the 21st century as a solo performer, Wilson has never been out of the limelight. Come Back Again to see an absolute solid gold legend of rock and his full band ‘The Peaceniks’ perform all his hits!
Richard Clapton is one of Australia’s foremost singer/songwriters and paved the way for three generations of songwriters to write about the experience of being Australian. Clapton’s songs are still omnipresent on the radio to this day, his records charting the political landscape of the nation and the turbulent lives of two generations.
In a career that now spans over 40 years he has battled everything from bad managers and capricious record companies to debt, taxes, personal tragedy and a thousand room service dinners. The fact that he's come through it all with his sanity intact surprises all who know and love him. But survive he has, with a tale to tell.
This iconic work for choir and orchestra, which combines classical principles with flavours of world and ethnic music, will be contrasted with the popular Messa di Gloria by Giacomo Puccini.
Symphonic Adiemus, which received its first UK performance in London in late 2017, is a challenging and innovative work, drawing on and extending earlier works which have all been world-wide favourites. Through his use of invented language, unusual rhythms and extensive percussion Jenkins pushes the boundaries of new music development.
Unashamedly operatic, the young Puccini's Messa di Gloria reflects the influence of Puccini's hero, Verdi, and provides a fore taste of his later major works. The joyous themes which run throughout the work complement the exuberant nature of Jenkin's work, and provide an orchestral contrast which will make this a concert not to be missed.

After a 7 year break from touring together they reunite to perform a limited amount of shows.
Australian music icons, BRIAN CADD and RUSSELL MORRIS, have been friends for over forty years and have been touring together from time to time over the past decades and are back after a 7 year break to perform a limited amount of shows.
Together, Brian and Russell deliver a dynamic show of not only their hits: “Little Ray of Sunshine”, “Ginger Man”, “Don’t you know its Magic” BRIAN CADD & “Real Thing”, “Sweet Sweet Love”, “Wings of an Eagle” RUSSELL MORRIS, but also a selection of seventies rock classics that will have the audience singing along with them. They may arrive on stage as 60 year old mates but they turn themselves, and their audience, truly back to 20 year old rockers.
Their show is a relentless sequence of hit songs, laughter and mockery. Never scared to take a jab at each other, on or off the stage, they now know each other affectionately as “The Turtle without a Shell” and “The Cheshire Cat”. You figure out which is which!!
Brian Cadd said “It is rare and enjoyable to spend ninety minutes on the stage every night with someone who has travelled the same musical road and number of years as I have. It makes the musical highlights, the songs and the silliness all that much more fun. Come and see what we mean!”
