Let PK entertain you!

Paul Kitching – aka PK – from Fuller Brand Communication has been out and about enough over his 50+ years to still have his finger on the pulse for the best things to see, do and enjoy in our excellent state.

Whilst we all know life starts at 50, we also know what we like right?! And yes, we are choosy about how we dedicate our precious spare time. With lots on offer, PK reckons these gems are all worthy…

1. Sara Pascoe

Hindley Street Music Hall

Fri Mar 14

Have you ever been awake in the middle of the night and thought something so smart and astute that you couldn’t wait for the world to wake up so you could tell them? This show is said to be that exact thought! UK comedian Sara Pascoe (pictured at top) proudly states that “Her children don’t sleep, her kitchen won’t clean itself and her husband ‘doesn’t want to be in it’…”. As seen and loved on such shows as Taskmaster, QI, 8 Out of 10 Cats… Sara Pascoe is gold.

Norwood Concert Hall

Thu Feb 13

When UK comedian Milo McCabe started complimenting shoppers to lift their post-pandemic stress little did he know his chipper ‘Troy Hawke’ character would go viral sending him on a stand-up tour around the world. The in demand dapper gent and his trademark purple smoking jacket with Insta-famous phrases like “You Sir are a master of hydration!” has perfected the knack to give others a boost and will deliver all and more with this show.

5. The Dictionary Of Lost Words

Dunstan Playhouse, Adelaide Festival Centre

Thu Apr 3 – Thu Apr 17

A typewriter, stacked books, and a bouquet of flowers elegantly arranged on a wooden table.

After delighting audiences and critics alike in sold out seasons across Australia, the highest and fastest selling show in the history of the Dunstan Playhouse returns. In 1901, the word ‘bondmaid’ was discovered missing from the Oxford English Dictionary. The Dictionary of Lost Words is the story of the girl who found it. Lovingly adapted by South Australian playwright Verity Laughton, from local writer Pip Williams’ acclaimed bestselling book, this is must-see live theatre.
