Comedian Wil Anderson returns to Perth with his new show, Wilosophy, on Thursday 16, Friday 17 and Saturday 18 October 2008 at the Octagon Theatre at UWA.
Wil is rare in the world of stand-up comedy in that year after year his shows keep getting sharper, edgier and most importantly - funnier. The host of the runaway ABC TV hit ‘The Gruen Transfer’ and Triple M’s national drive show, Wil still finds time for his first love, ’stand up’, performing to sell out crowds at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and the Sydney Opera House earlier this year.
Tickets on sale from BOCS for $38.00. Get in quick, it’ll sell out!
