- **Event Name**: The MECC presents Always Was, Always Will Be... Funny! With Dane Simpson
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 26 Sep, 2026 at 09:30 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: Get ready for a night of guaranteed laughs with one of Australia’s funniest and most loveable comedians.

Dane comes from a long line of funny buggers. A wisecracking Dad, a cleverly cutting Mum, hilarious grandparents, and generations of jokers, pranksters and yarnspinners.

Now Dane is here putting the 'rad' into 'traditional'. He always was, always will be…funny. For 60,000 years of belly-laughs, book now.

★★★★★ ‘Side splitting down to earth humour… how often do you go to a comedy show where you laugh until your sides hurt?’– Glamadelaide

‘One of the most personable comedians in Australia…optimistic, upbeat and effortlessly charming’ – Chortle (UK)

‘Dane had me laughing so hard I had a hard time holding back tears of joy. Whatever you take from this review, please follow him!’ - Theatre Matters

Arguably Wagga Wagga's finest export, Dane has made countless TV appearances including the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Wil Anderson's Question Everything, The Hundred with Andy Lee, SBS's Celebrity Letters &amp; Numbers, and even on the big screen in zombie movie Residence and rom-com The Merger.

With a string of sold-out live comedy shows across Australia and in the UK, he’s heading your way with a whole lot of gutbusting jokes and damned funny stories.
