Comedians’ Choice Award Winner – Melbourne Comedy Festival


Like a rolling ball of funny with bits flying out of it, Tony Law’s infectious comedy will leave you stranded in a hilarious field of ideas. Half Canadian, half Trinidadian, Tony spent many years developing his unique, scattergun, surreal style and is now established as one of the most exciting headline acts around.


His laid back ‘acid-casualty’ approach, combined with scorching jokes and incisive remarks, have endeared him to both live and TV audiences here and abroad. He’s a regular face at the UK’s biggest comedy clubs such as The Comedy Store and Jongleurs, and a favourite face at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In Spring 2009 Tony went on his first-ever national solo tour, with a second leg added for Autumn 2009. In addition to that Tony will support Stewart Lee on his latest tour in the second half of this year.


Along with Dan Antopolski and Craig Campbell, Tony created The Dinks, the acclaimed comedy troupe, which excited both Fringe audiences and critics alike with their inimitable style of slapstick and banter.
