Ben Elton: Authentic Stupidity

March 13 and 14, Astor Theatre, Mt Lawley

Tickets to the comedian’s first Perth show are close to selling out so get in quick now that a second date has been announced. The funnyman, who splits his time between the UK and Fremantle, is currently touring this show around the UK telling audiences that the greatest threat to humanity is not AI but, rather, authentic stupidity. “The verdict is in, humanity is thick. Homo halfwit, the idiot branch of the ape family,” Elton claims. Gotta admit, we are intrigued.

Tickets from $101.85 from Ticketek
