Anthony Morgan

Anthony Morgan is now the only stand-up comedy legend turned shark boat repairman currently residing in southern Tasmania.

A few years back Anthony announced to the audience at the Moosehead Awards at the end of the Melbourne Comedy Festival that he was retiring from comedy. Amongst those to hear this for the first time on stage was his manager.

Since then he has largely kept to his word, venturing briefly into country music, but mainly focussing on boat repair as a way out of show biz.

But just like Michael Corleone, this one time godfather of Melbourne comedy is being dragged back to a career that he left suddenly and spectacularly.

Morgan comedy is magical, a high risk improvised rant-fest that defies logic and good sense.

A lucky pub load of folk got to see Anthony back on stage at the closing of the once legendary Prince Patrick Hotel in January of this year. The atmosphere was electric, a man who is possibly the most exciting comic this country has ever seen was back in form and back on stage.

Now a lucky few will get to cram into the tiny upstairs room at Bar Open in Brunswick Street to view the return of one of our comedy scenes true legends in the kind of room that he likes best – small, grungy and with tap beer.

We don’t need to get messianic about this, but it will be a return that you cant afford to miss.
