PETER HELLIAR’S NIGHT OF COMEDY AT THE SANDBELT

For the first time in two years, and for one night only Friday, February 19th -
With MC Adam Rozenbachs, Opening act Dave Thornton
Hot on the heels of announcing his signing to Channel 7’s new AFL show, the one and only Peter Helliar will present a night of brilliant comedy at The Sandbelt on Friday, February 19.
Probably best known for his ten years alongside Rove McManus on ROVE, Peter Helliar is one of Australia’s most loved stand-up comedians.
Late last year, Pete’s scheduled Sandbelt gig had to be cancelled due to the funny man’s commitments with his forthcoming feature film, “I Love You Too”, but true to his word, the show must go on and fans will get the chance to see him up close and personal in just a couple of weeks.
