Dave Thornton & Claire Hooper at Slovenian Club of Melbourne
About
Dave Thornton is a seasoned performer whose shows have been described as ‘devastatingly effective’ (Chortle) and he is back with a brand-new show, focusing on the small things that frustrate him and the large things that get on top of him…. more or less.Maybe you’ve seen him on Sam Pang Tonight, The Cheap Seats, hosting The Big Trip or really stretching his acting chops as Troy in Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix.
“An hour of quick wit and cheery anecdotes.” ★★★★ The Age
Claire Hooper is the least fun person she knows. She’s used to getting her dopamine from answering emails and getting places on time. But she is gonna do what it takes – joke t-shirts, family glamping, practical jokes, birdwatching, laser tag, rock concerts – to become fun again.
A rollercoaster of jokes from an adult who doesn’t want to die thinking; well at least I said no to everything.
As seen on The Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention and Claire Hooper’s House of Games.
2025 AACTA Nominee Best Stand Up Comedy Special
“Getting out to any comedy gig is a ‘type two’ endeavour, but if it’s Hooper’s, the effort is most certainly worth it.” ★★★★ Chortle
