146-Give it a Crack to be MC'd by former life saving surgeon

Comedians have been booked for Give it a Crack, and they will be led by a really funny Aussie bloke with a really moving story to tell.

Andrew Barnett will MC this years Give it a Crack at Sydney's comedy Store on November 12, and he brings with him not only a brand of good natured Aussie hilarity, but a history of performing life saving surgery on malnourished African children.

When you see Andrew on stage, your first thought will almost certainly be "I want to go and have a beer with this bloke," but he has more layers than Shrek. 
Andrew spent the first years of his medical career in Africa, treating children suffering the effects of malnutrition, but after seeing his first episode of Letterman, he gave up his promising medical career, and is now one of Australia's most sought after comedians, and he will be hosting a huge talent pool of raw comedians at Give it a Crack.


The talent pool includes:

Paige Hally
Showed off her eclectic mix of observational comedy and deadpan humor in a recent co-production of "Intern Funeral"

Geoffrey Windle
started stand-up comedy in 2009, going on to win the Queensland State Finals for the [Melbourne International Comedy Festival and] Triple J RAW Comedy and Green Faces Comedy Competitions in 2010, also coming runner up at the RAW Comedy National Final.

Gearard McGeown & Tom Cashman 

Raw Comedy State Finalists and stars of Two guys, a girl, one cup
