The inaugural GC Laughs Festival is on the Gold Coast from March 17 to 24, with a knee-slapping program featuring some of the best names in comedy. On Friday March 22 catch Dusty Rich in The Basement at HOTA.

Naturalist and comedian Dusty Rich has spent his entire life lying. With multiple awards in natural sciences but absolutely none in comedy, the Lying King is a hyena proof hour of stand up comedy from South African comedic prodigy Dusty Rich who was there when they filmed the Lion King. In an age of post truth the Lying King’s kingdom is everything the light touches but Dusty Rich prefers the shadowy places because that’s where the truth is told.
