Akmal: Not Dead Yet

Akmal returns because he was not careful with his money when he was funny and popular. He’s still funny, however due to the avalanche of brown and black comedians his popularity has waned a little. So, this year Akmal has finally succumbed to the thousands of requests to perform in the nude. Don’t miss this hilarious and highly erotic show. Every night a lucky audience member will win Akmal’s underwear! Touching is allowed but please be respectful. Private shows available behind the theatre at extra cost.

★★★★ ½’ ‘A fantastic night, I loved him.’

Movies, Sketch, Stand‐Up, Tv appearances, Radio personality and talk show host, improvisation and a published author, Akmal is one of Australia’s most respected, successful and accomplished comics. He displays an incredible ability to deal with hot topics in a hilarious and non‐offensive way. Being Australia’s only Arab comedian, his Arab heritage steers his comedy to issues of religion, honesty, hysterical looks at modern day life. His uncanny comedic gift means he is one of those gifted comedians who has the audience eating out of the palm of his hand as soon as he walks on stage.

This long weekend of wonderment happens at the Byron Surf Club, transformed into Australia’s most Easterly comedy Club, with comfy couches, dj’s, and impromptu art sessions with Pricasso, the man who paints portraits with his penis.
