Mathew Kenneally on the Post Hope Express

With change in his pocket and a financial crisis in his shoe

Canberra: March 5 - 7 … Melbourne: April 2 - 26

Hope. Hope is what you turn to when you’re out of ideas. Hope is what you burn when all of the firewood runs out. Hope is what you feed the children when you live in Zimbabwe. In 2008 we faced a climate crisis, a financial crisis, and an alcopop crisis. Things looked dire. Out of the chaos the world turned to hope. Americans hopped aboard the Obama Express, while we piled on the Rudd trolley car.

Join Mat as he turns a critical eye to the people in charge: media moguls, energy executives, bankers, and of course politicians. Do these people know what the hell they’re doing? Are we foolish to keep trusting them? Is Australia’s cricketing supremacy finally over? (Respectively: no, yes, and thank god at last.)

And is there any light at the end of a post hope tunnel?

Mathew Kenneally at the 2008 Melbourne Fringe Festival

 Sept 26 to Oct 11 - BOOK TICKETS HERE

Mat is back with a brand new season of his hit Comedy Festival show, Mathew Kenneally’s ill thought through Plan for the World. Join him on the Hope Bus as he solves all the big problems of the world in one crazy hour of hair brained activity. From terrorist threats to Presidential politics, no issue is too diabolical for Mat to flippantly resolve on the spot.

Mat has reworked the show especially for the Fringe Festival, and it now contains 30% more hope!*

*By 30% more hope, we of course mean 30% new jokes. For more hope, visit the Hope Machine himself at www.barackobama.com

 Mathew Kenneally’s ill thought through Plan for the World - Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Mathew Kenneally, a self-described expert, has decided it’s time he solved the world’s problems. He didn’t get an invite to Kevin Rudd’s 2020 Summit, but that won’t stop him from saving the planet using only the power of stand-up comedy - and you’re invited

Join Mat as he goes to work on the big issues, such as Democracy, Religion, and the biggest issue of all, Britney’s Meltdown.
