Ross is back

Local comedian Ross Daniels is bringing back his show for another stint, this time at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

“My show ‘Offline’ is back by popular demand as my previous shows went very well,” he said.

“This time around I have streamlined it and updated the jokes to keep it fresh for 2024.”

Bouncing off the positive feedback from his previous shows, Mr Daniels is bringing back the characters everyone knows and loves.

“Everyone enjoys the characters and that’s what they are expecting,” he said.

“But people said they also really liked the fact that I tied the show together with a thread and connected the story throughout , something that they weren’t expecting.”

The show will unfold as Mr Daniels puts on a show of his best characters, only to be held back by an unseen force sabotaging the show.

Returning to the stage will be Old Swampy, the die hard Doggies supporter.

His son Terry who is a “chemically damaged showpony” and a “very popular character.”

They will be joined by the omniscient neighbour , who is based on Mr Daniels own real life neighbour.

“He always seems to know everything that’s going on in the street and beyond,” said Mr Daniels.

And finally , the team is complete with a repurposed character which is the dosed creator of viral videos.

“There will be other voices and characters mixed in the show along with myself, but those are the main acts,” he said.

“I am really looking forward to it and playing at the comedy festival because you tend to get a slightly different audience.”

The show will begin on Thursday, March 28, and run until Sunday, April 7, at Speakeasy Theatre.
