Sweeney Preston & Ethan Cavanagh: Presentation is Everything | SPECIAL TAPING

26/08/2023 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm

$25 – $29

After sell-out seasons across Australia and New Zealand, Sweeney Preston and Ethan Cavanagh are coming to Ballarat for one night only to wrap up a 15-month tour with this special live taping of their award-winning show.

Presentation is Everything is an hour of fast-paced stand-up comedy that is visually complemented through the medium of Microsoft PowerPoint.

Written and performed by two of Melbourne’s fastest-rising and extravagantly overdressed comedians, this show is packed with slides full of images, news cut-outs, maps, animations and (you guessed it) graphs to punctuate their quick-witted stand-up.

Armed with outfits they can’t afford and a .ppt file they can’t attach to an email, this is a show where presentation truly is everything.


What the critics are saying:

‘A fast-paced, high-energy, knee-slapping good time. It can’t be missed. ★★★★★’ Milk Bar Mag

‘A delightful hour. Impeccable comedic timing and effective multimedia usage bolsters this artfully crafted script. ★★★★1/2’ Beat Magazine

‘Rapid-fire audience-slaying, comic delivery … with enough energy to power an army of Wiggles. ★★★★’ Weekend Notes

‘Wholesome, funny and bordering on family friendly. ★★★★’ Fourth Wall Media

‘A remarkable rate of gags per minute: a quick-talking, slide-clicking showcase of office application as comedy inspiration. Sheer charisma.’ Stuff (New Zealand)

‘Something worth getting very, very excited about. Choo choo.’ Theatreview (New Zealand)


Support act: Noah Szto

Doors open from 7.30pm


This performance will be filmed.
