O’Leary to bring laughs to Altona

Kiwi comic Ray O’Leary will bring his deadpan delivery and iconic grey suit to Hobsons Bay on Wednesday, May 28 when he headlines a night of comedy at the Altona Sports Club.

A staple of stages and TV screens on both sides of the Tasman, O’Leary has featured on Channel 10’s Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention?, Thank God You’re Here, Cheap Seats, and SBS’ Patriot Brains.

In New Zealand he regularly appears and writes for 7 Days and Have You Been Paying Attention? and has also been nominated two years running for Best Male Comedian by the New Zealand Comedy Guild.

In 2022 he picked up a win for the Best Joke and Best TV Comedy Performance, after being nominated for Best TV Comedy Performance the previous three years.

Additionally, he has been twice nominated for New Zealand Comedy Festival’s prestigious Billy T James Award.

In 2023, O’Leary made his Australian debut at Melbourne International Comedy Festival (MCIF) where his show, Everything Funny All The Time Always and was nominated for Best Newcomer.

Fresh off another MCIF run where he performed his show, Laughter? I Hardly Know Her! O’Leary will perform at the Altona Sports Club before heading off to tour the UK.

Special guests comedians Joe White, Daniel Connell, Jeremy Dooley and Leo Filipetti will support O’Leary on the night, with doors opening at 7.30pm and the first show starting at 8pm.

Pre-show early dinner is available at the Altona Sports Club bistro, but bookings are required.
