Comedy Double Feature – Mike Van Acker & Steven J. Whiteley

Enjoy a night of professional, live stand-up comedy!

The Sit Down Comedy Club presents Mike van Acker & Steven J. Whiteley!

You know him as the ‘Mike’ bit of 97.3FM’s Bianca, Mike and Bob breakfast show, but did you know that Mike van Acker has spent most of his adult life trying to stay away from stand up comedy. It was easy when he left high school - there was no comedy in Brisbane. He became a singing telegram performer instead. Keen wasn't he? Mike continued to avoid doing stand up where possible - he even took a year off to sing and dance in a theatre restaurant on the Gold Coast, but always found his way back to stand up.

Stints as the audience warm-up comedian for Channel 7's Family Feud did little to dampen his enthusiasm, and after his fourth successful tour of New Zealand's comedy clubs (both of them) he decided to give the street theatre and magic gigs a big miss, and gracefully accept that he and stand up comedy are going to be together a long time. Mike's list of foreign countries worked in reads like a list of foreign countries worked in, and includes England, USA, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand.

Steven J Whiteley began performing in Adelaide in 1996. Since then he has toured everywhere in and around Australia and overseas. Nicknamed “The Bogan Prince of Australian Comedy”, he has performed with the likes of Stephen K Amos, Ed Byrne, Adam Hills, Steady Eddy and Jimeoin, to name just a few. He now performs extensively on cruise ships around the world, but likes to tour Australia when he’s back on home soil. His natural style and off centre observations on almost every topic including facebook, Australian town names and even dinosaurs have had audiences everywhere roaring with laughter.

Make sure you don’t miss out on your chance to see these two hilarious comedians on Saturday 19th October.
