An old, tired-looking dog wandered into a man’s yard. He could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.
The dog calmly came over to the man and he gave him a few pats on his head. He then followed the man into his house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later, he went to the door, and the man let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted the man in his yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
Curious one day, the man pinned a note to his collar: “I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.”
The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar: “He lives in a home with six children, two under the age of three – he’s trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?”
You’re invited to the Starts at 60 Comedy Festival this Thursday— a special one-night-only comedy event especially for over-60s.
This fun-filled evening, held at Brisbane’s iconic Sit Down Comedy Club, is the culmination of Starts at 60’s nationwide search for Australia’s Funniest Boomer, with ten finalists flown to Brisbane to compete for the title live on stage.
Hosted by local Breakfast radio legend Terry Hansen and featuring headline comedian Fred Lang, this will be a wonderful evening celebrating the ups and downs of ageing gracefully (sometimes disgracefully), as lived and filtered (sometimes not-so-filtered) through Australia’s finest Grey Comic voices.
When: Thursday 5th September 2024 (doors open 6.00pm, show begins 7.00pm)
Where: Sit Down Comedy Club (The Paddo Tavern, 186 Given Terrace, Paddington, QLD)
