Things to do in Murray Bridge: August 16-22, 2024
Your guide to comedy at Jervois, Mates on a Mission, a Kiribati cultural event and more.
Kevin Kropinyeri is one of Australia’s most established and popular Aboriginal comedians, with a long list of TV credits.
The proud Ngarrindjeri man is a high-energy performer, sharp, likeable, silly and measured, mixing keen observational standup with joyfully ridiculous physical comedy.
His engaging brand of comedy warmly invites both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal audiences to share his journey, his culture, his life.
You can catch Kevin Kropinyeri, Beautiful Bogan Marc Ryan, acoustic duo Bliss and all your friends at Jervois Institute this Friday night; or scroll down to see what else is happening in our region.
