Dawn French

Presented by: Live Nation

Dawn French, the Queen of British comedy, returns to the stage with her one-woman stand-up show playing across Australia in April and May 2024.

These mark Dawn French’s first Australian shows since her 38 sold out shows in 2016. “This show is so named because unfortunately, it’s horribly accurate,” French said, “There have been far too many times I have made stupid mistakes or misunderstood something vital or jumped the gun. I thought I might tell some of these buttock clenching embarrassing stories to give Australian audiences a peek behind the scenes of my work life…Roll up! Book early to see the telly vicar lady, live in front of your very eyes. And ears.”

Dawn French is a much-loved figure in Australia, having toured most recently in 2016 with her first solo stand-up show Thirty Million Minutes – performing a magnificent 38 shows across the country, due to overwhelming demand!

Few people are as firmly ensconced in the British comedy firmament as Dawn French. As one half of the ground-breaking comedy duo French & Saunders (with Jennifer Saunders) she blazed a trail that shaped TV comedy through the 80s and 90s, spoofing everyone from Oasis to The Corrs and brilliantly sending up films such as Titanic and The Lord Of The Rings series. In the early 90s, both French and Saunders forged separate but equally successful paths, creating two comedy institutions in the process. As Jennifer Saunders launched Absolutely Fabulous, Dawn French starred in multiple roles in the black comedy Murder Most Horrid, often playing both murderer and murdered in the same episode. This was followed by the enormously popular Richard Curtis series The Vicar Of Dibley, which attracted over 12 million viewers to its series finale. Dawn is also a successful author, having written six best-selling books. Her latest book, is published in October.

French has also enjoyed considerable success on stage, both as a stand-up comedian and actress, and on the big screen in films from Coraline to Death On The Nile. In 2022, she announced her return to the stage with her show Dawn French.

An Evening with Daniel O’Donnell

The Irish singing legend Daniel O’Donnell is promising a wonderful show full of Irish standards, and classics from the popular music songbook. As with Daniel’s previous tours, these concerts are certain to sell out.

Known for the close relationship he has with his fans, and his charismatic and engaging stage presence, Daniel is enjoying resurgent success in Australia with his new album ‘How Lucky I Must Be’. Daniel is the only artist in the world to score a hit in the UK album charts every year since 1988 – an unprecedented and unbroken 35-year span.

Daniel’ s concerts around the world sell out on a regular basis and after more than 40 years in the spotlight, he is still in love with performing and with audiences the world over. As he looks back on his legendary recording and touring career, Daniel can appreciate the pleasure he has brought millions of his adoring fans, his selfless philanthropy, and receiving his Honorary MBE for services to the music industry and charity.

There is no doubt but that Daniel intends to continue touring around the globe with his unique, life affirming shows of music, song and laughter, for a long time to come.

Perth Gem and Mineral Show

The annual Perth Gem and Mineral Show (PGMS), hosted by the Mineralogical Society of Western Australia (MinSoc WA).

A dedicated Committee organises the event to showcase many of the wonders that the mineral, gem and geoscience communities have to offer, with a special focus on Western Australia’s mineral heritage. The event targets a wide audience of mineral collectors, geologists, jewellers, mining professionals, students, hobbyists and commercial dealers.

The Perth Gem and Mineral Show strives to be the premier mineralogical and geoscience event in Australia. We successfully presented the inaugural PGMS in 2021 as the largest show of its kind held in WA in decades, featuring gem and mineral dealers, geoscience communicators, and industry professionals. This effort was matched to see PGMS effectively double in scale in 2022 and is anticipated to be bigger again this year in our new venue at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Participating in the PGMS provides an opportunity to promote and sell products and services while demonstrating a commitment to the broader development of the mineralogical, geological, and geoscience sectors. The event will attract delegates from all facets of the mineral, gem, and geoscience communities and provides a unique opportunity to share ideas and expand your business network.

Aside from the event itself, there will also be the opportunity to network at the exclusive Sundowner evening (separately ticketed). Featuring a charity auction, nibbles, drinks, and lots of rock talk!
