" who gets to make art and who gets to see it?""

TWISTED COMEDY!
Hosted by the ever growing popular, Larry Laughs Loud!
International Day of People with Disability aims to promote an understanding of people with disability and encourage support for their dignity, rights and well-being. Many celebrations around this time of year are very caring, loving... and to be honest... a little bit soft. Larry Laughs Loud is excited to be offering something a little different this year to celebrate diversity and embrace difference.... Who they have on the bill, is a number of performers who know how to 'tell it how it is', in their emotional, honest and down right HILARIOUS story telling and stand up comedy performances.
Be prepared for some very SPECIAL performances!
ART CAR TOURS!
Keep your eye out for some very unusual cars. These are cars are more than just 4 wheels. Book a ticket with Officer Calum for a ride in his US Highway patrol to and from venues or meet the Bass Bug, a Bass fuelled art car creating delicacies froot cocktails and rocking the party on her LARGE bass heavy sound system.
AVANT GARDEN PARTY
​
Join musicians, performers and movement artists in an avant garden party along the banks of our River, to celebrate in old fashioned Sunday Summer style. Bring a picnic. There will be water crafts carrying performers and lots of weird and wacky interpretations of life on The river.
