He’s ‘just wondering why?
Still wondering what to do in July? Carl Barron is bringing laughs and life’s big questions to Cairns with his hit comedy show ‘Just Wondering Why’ – for two nights only at the Cairns Performing Arts Centre.
A show for the overthinkers and the ponderers is coming to Cairns by the sharp tongue of comedy legend Carl Barron for two nights of absolute hilarity at CPAC on July 22 and 23 with Just Wondering Why.
One thing Mr Barron has heard his whole life is that he thinks too much. He thought about it, considered it and then realised he was doing it again.
What people called thinking though, he called wondering, something you are never accused of doing too much of and then Just Wondering Why was born.
If you're up for a night of wondering about the sound of a pin dropping, crumbs on your face, or the similarities between dirt and sugar ... then come along and hear Carl wonder out loud about the small things of life, which may happen to be the big things of life.
Carl Barron is known for his observational humour, physical comedy and down-to-earth delivery, as someone who often focuses on everyday life and its little quirks – those things that happen to everyone but we don’t talk about. He has reached a vast audience charmed by his relatable comedy and quintessential Aussie charm.
Through the years Mr Barron has managed to connect through his honesty, simplicity and Aussie flavour plus his decades of experience from his classic shows like Wog Boys or Walking Down the Street, and Cairns won’t be the exception as he aims to make his Cairns audience cry from laughter with the latest Just Wondering Why.
It’ll be one not to miss, it’s not everyday that Mr Barron holds two shows in Cairns, so if you’re still wondering about Just Wondering Why, stop wondering and start laughing.
