Top 10 Australia Revelry On this week 26/04/2020 (COVID-19 EDITION)

Fundamentally, you are unlovable. Superficially, we love that lipstick on you, honey! Damn!

 

10) Christopher Titus: Carrying Monsters

3rd May

What: In the midst of the stress and chaos of the global pandemic, achingly honest dyfunctional comedian Christopher Titus brings his newest show, ‘Carrying Monsters’, to a one-night only livestream event on YouTube at ChristopherTitusTV. This will be a professionally shot, 3-camera comedy show, not broadcast from his kitchen on his iPhone by his mom.

Why: Titus with the taut stomach and the learned holes is in currently quarantine and the whole 1.5m thing renders the majority of him useless anyway. Perhaps a loud string of hit-and-miss anecdotes in an American accent will distract you until the restrictions are eased.
