Afternoons Tonight! features all the hilarity of Valentine’s daily radio program but after dark. And in a theatre.
Expect live versions of such legendary segments as This Is What I Live With, Ex, The New Normal and Petty Crime Stoppers … they’ll all be there. Who knows, maybe he’ll even attempt Nothing.
You’ll laugh, you’ll crack up and you’ll have something to talk about all weekend.
No one looks at the world quite like James Valentine, and just when you think it can’t get any better, it does.
Afternoons Tonight! is a fantastically funny and interactive night at the theatre and a great insight into how this radio show really works.
Tickets are $40/$45 and show starts 8pm. Phone 6333 6161.
