About Kurt Sterling
The Big Aussie Showcase is a fast-paced hour hosted by Australian comedian Kurt Sterling, featuring a rotating lineup of stand-up and variety acts from across the festival. Described as a Fringe tasting platter with Aussie flair, the show is anchored by Sterling's sharp, offbeat and quietly unhinged comedy.

Why see this show?
A rotating bill of stand-up and variety acts means something different every night, and Sterling's offbeat hosting keeps things unpredictable. Good for those who want a sampler of Fringe comedy without committing to a single act.
