Legendary Austen Tayshus on way just for laugh

IF you could do with a bout of hysterical laughing, head to Panania Diggers RSL early next month and be mesmerised by legendary raconteur and social commentator, the one and only – Austen Tayshus (pictured)!

Every show is unique. He weaves politics, what’s happening in the room, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, semantics, religion and of course, sport and let’s not forget the Pope, all into the one gag.
Tayshus is a man of controversy. There is no subject he won’t dissect. Uncomfortable, confronting but always illuminating, an Austen Tayshus show is both hilarious and cleansing.
Tayshus has said that he sees his role as social agitator, as the prickle in the paw that makes people think.
He doesn’t need you to like him, in fact he would prefer that you didn’t.
Working as a stand-up comedian for over 40 years, his hit ‘Australiana’ broke single sales records in Australia.
Oozing Aussie puns, it includes all the now famous one-liners such as: “…my mate Boomer rang” (boomerang); “…do you wanna game of Euchre, Lyptus?” (eucalyptus); and “…how much can a koala bear?” (koala).
“I’m looking forward to being back in Bankstown, I always get a full house and a great response,” he says.
Join in the fun at Panania Diggers on Saturday, May 6, from 7pm.
Tickets: $25 ($200 for a table of eight), http://tix.yt/austen-tayshus-live-panania-diggers.
