SUMMARY:Festival of Small Halls Autumn Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Arcadia Theatre is an historic building in Guyra\, New South Wales\, that has been given a new life. Opened in 1929\, the theatre once hosted films\, boxing matches\, and other events. Today\, it is home to the Australian Poetry Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was established in 2020 and aims to preserve and celebrate Australian poetry and its poets. The venue now features a large auditorium for events\, a bookshop\, an art gallery\, and a cafe. From Your Hosts: (and if this doesn’t capture your interest – nothing will!) Guyra is famous for lamb\, potatoes\, trout\, ghosts and snow. \nFestival of Small Halls will be rolling into Guyra with Tullara (AUS) and Joe H Henry (CAN). \nOpening the show will be Richard Stanley! Raised in a musical household of eleven\, music has been a lifelong companion for this Guyra-based composer and instrumentalist. Inspired by his brother Pete\, part of the Sydney band scene\, and his father’s poetry\, Richard took up the guitar before the age of 15. After a career transition into Ecotourism\, he has returned to his acoustic roots with a renewed creative focus. Richard’s current work blends a technical appreciation for the New England landscape with a deep fascination for ancient spiritual history. Now composing freely on both piano and guitar\, he captures melodies that bridge the gap between the earthly and the ancient. He is a proud member of the creative community of the New England Tablelands.

SUMMARY:Central West Comedy @ Welder's Dog Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Two headliner high-profile comedians. \nNick Cody brings a comedic style that’s equal parts laid-back and blunt. He dives into topics ranging from personal disasters to the oddities of modern life with the kind of confidence that can only come from years of comedy experience. Boasting a sizable fanbase of Cody devotees\, Nick has sold out shows whilst racking up rave reviews\, not only at the biggest comedy festivals Australia has to offer including Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sydney Comedy Festival\, but also at Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, the invite-only Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal\, New York Comedy Festival and Johannesburg Comedy Festival. \nLizzy Hoo is a master of mining her life and family into material that leaves audiences left wanting more. A hilarious\, self-assured\, observational-style has resonated with comedy-goers around the world\, with Lizzy’s stand-up clips garnering millions of views online. With each passing year\, Lizzy has been exponentially growing her audience to sold out houses around Australia\, while exponentially stretching the ability to use her name as a pun with shows such as Hoo Dis?\, Hoo Cares and Woo Hoo.
