Before Snapchat, before Instagram... there was Slide Night
Go back in time for the evening and experience a slide night but this time with a twist. Rescued photographic slides from attics and op shops from across the country have been repurposed to put a bunch of comedians to the test. Team captains Bridie Connell (We Interrupt This Broadcast, Tonightly With Tom Ballard, Whose Line Is It Anyway?) and Rebecca De Unamuno (Just for Laughs Australia, The Chasers War on Everything, Kath and Kim) will be joined by a revolving cast of Australia’s best comedians to face off in different games. The old slides serve as visual cues in these games - creating the absurd and outrageous settings for our comedians to explain the night away.
With special celebrity guests and different games each night, you never know what kind of hilarity will ensue.
Relive the nostalgia and book tickets to the hottest new comedy night in Sydney. With no two shows the same, we guarantee you'll want to come more than once.
Presented by Sydney Opera House
In association with Llandilo Pty Ltd
