LA singer/songwriter/performer Daniel McFeeley at Beyond Q in Curtin shops from 4.00 to 6.00pm.

This guy is amazing. His songs are clever, insightful, witty, often hilarious. If you haven’t caught him yet, take this opportunity to hear him in the intimate atmosphere of Beyond Q.

Whoops. Saturday. Sorry.

I wish we could edit.

I can’t wait to see Mikelangelo with Tin Star at the Phoenix on Sunday night. I’ve only heard good things about Tin Star and love Mikel in his other guises. Such a showman!

Tommy Tiernan – Designer WinoSaturday

Bookings & Enquiries: http://www.canberratheatrecentre.com.au/

Multi award winning Irish comedian Tommy Tiernan returns to Australia following his hugely successful sold out tour of Australia & New Zealand in 2010. His observations about life are offbeat and thoughtful but most importantly, he’s a tremendous storyteller. He will challenge, he will engage and he will definitely entertain.

Tommy has the highest selling DVD sales in Ireland and he is second only to U2 when it comes to live ticket sales there. This controversial comedian is fearless in his delivery and famous for his insightful and frank views on just about any topic.

In America, Tommy has been invited to perform three times on the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’ to rave reviews. His DVD ‘Something Mental’ has been aired numerous times now on America’s huge Comedy Network, Comedy Central as part of their popular ‘Secret Stash’ comedy slot and has now been viewed by over 3 million people.

On 1 April the Opera House will turn blue for Autism Awareness week. As the Grandfather of a fine boy at the top end of the scale, I haven’t seen any activities in Canberra. It is apparently National Young Peoples Week (?) with lots of events but how about the one in 160 kids who have to cope with Autism?

The Canberra wine harvest festival has the food and drink situation pretty well covered this weekend at most local vineyards.

Come watch the Black ‘n’ Blue Belles go up against the Surly Griffins in their first rematch after last season’s grand final showdown THIS SATURDAY NIGHT!!

With new skaters joining your faves in the best season yet the new-look teams are bristling with excitement and anticipation at making this Saturday night one to down in history.

Tickets are only $10 + BF and are on sale NOW through OzTix

Doors open 5pm for 6pm skate off.
