hat happens when Shane Jacobson, Fiona O’Loughlin, Michala Banas and Dave O’Neil get together with some of Australia’s best bands and musical talent? We’re not quite sure, but we know it will be hilarious and a lot of fun! More than 20 of Australia’s biggest names in comedy and music will feature at a three-day festival of laughter, tunes and food in August. That’s Not My Dog – The Festival will be staged from August 26 to 28 at the Kings Beach park, Caloundra. Australian entertainment legend Shane Jacobson, whose movie That’s Not My Dog inspired the festival, leads a stellar line-up of comedians and musical artists in three days hilarious storytelling, fantastic food and Aussie music. For his movie, Mr Jacobson gathered the cream of Australia’s comedy and
entertainment community on a country property with hilarious results. The festival draws on this concept. The festival precinct areas at Kings Beach will include a main stage, food and bar space, comedy and open-mic space, local musicians and large screens. Joining the comedic headliners will be Aussie music icons Joe Camilleri and The Black Sorrows, Killing Heidi and Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks. “That’s Not My Dog – The Festival is unlike any other festival in Australia,” Mr Jacobson says. “We are thrilled to be staging Australia’s funniest festival on the Sunshine Coast. “The festival will get Australians laughing again as we combine hilarious joke and storytelling with brilliant music and amazing local food, beer and wine. “A big thank you to the Sunshine Coast Council for supporting this unique event which will attract people from all over Australia to Queensland for a long weekend of laughter, fun and relaxation.” Sunshine Coast economy portfolio
councillor Jason O’Pray says comedy plus live music is a winning formula, sure to attract plenty to Caloundra. “This three-day weekend event will be popular for locals and visitors alike because winter is such a great time of year to enjoy our fabulous beaches, hinterland experiences
and outdoor events,” he says. That’s Not My Dog – The Festival tickets start at $66 per day, with three-day packages, concession and student tickets available. Book your tickets and find out more at thatsnotmydogfestival.com.au.
