He is completely willing to do whatever it takes to make an audience laugh, even if i...t does often times leave him with egg on his face However, it’s not all silly-buggers and tomfoolery when it comes to Nick Carr. He is a legitimate force to be reckoned with, garnering high praise from some of the biggest names in Australian comedy. Check out what all the fuss is about on 28 November, when Carr takes the CPAC stage by storm and brings his unique brand of chaos to what already promises to be a chaotic evening at Shad and Pete Save the World! https://bit.ly/366DQ7r
