Joel Creasey: The Crown Prince

Did you miss Joel Creasey's Sydney Comedy Festival headline slot? You ought to be kicking yourself.

Within the first five minutes Creasey assures us that we're not the object of ire - he's not one of those comedians who makes fun of his audience. Everyone outside of these four walls though? Fair game for Creasey's sharp tongue and quick wit. It's bitchiness about Aussie celeb culture that comes from a place of absolute love of that culture - with Creasey himself most in the firing line. 

He talks us through the pride and pitfalls of his newfound fame, from finding himself talking for 50 minutes with a Real Housewife who didn't recognise him at the just-gone Logies, to being picked on by our Foreign Minister Julie Bishop at the polo, to having a breakup meltdown in front of Ellie Kemper at Just For Laughs Toronto, and finally determinedly stalking a Book Of Mormon cast member he was convinced was his true love.

A Comedy Festival highlight.
