Local comedian returns home

After sell-out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, critically acclaimed comedy talent Tessa Waters is returning to her hometown of Warwick for a one night only performance of her solo comedy show.
‘A little bit of standing up and a little bit of falling down’ is a poignant and entertaining exploration of the truly important things in life.
Narrated through the mediums of dance, clowning and stand-up comedy, Waters will delve into her awkward and colourful past to share her experiences of finding happiness and contentment in a world where we seem to have lost sight of attaining this simple goal.
From playing a bumblebee in the back row at the annual dance school concerts at the Warwick Town Hall, jostling for the best position at the Rodeo Parade, over-dramatic acting school dramas, to stepping out in black vinyl pants and enjoying the simple ritual of eating pea and ham soup with her grandfather, ‘A little bit of standing up and a little bit of falling down’ is a show about learning to laugh at yourself and being happy.
The performance will be combined with a two course meal prepared by staff at Café Jacqui’s.
It will be held on Sunday, May 20, at 6.30pm for dinner, with the show starting at 7.30pm.
Tickets are $45 for dinner and show or $20 for the show only.
Call (07) 4661 9022 to book.
