If you need a good laugh to distract you from the ârona, back to school shopping, and the harsh realisation that 2021 hasnât fixed everything 2020 broke, the Road Trippers have you covered.
Four Queensland comedians - Matt Ford, Anna Brennan, Ryan Anderson and Brendon Beltame - are hitting the road in a slightly knackered Prius to deliver fresh jokes to everyone who needs a giggle.
During the CQ leg of the trip, which starts Monday night in Yeppoon, they will be joined by local performers Tom Sayers and Jodie Van de Wetering.
In addition to her stand-up, Ms Van de Wetering has also been hard at work on her project Remotely Funny which has secured nearly $13,000 through the Regional Arts Fund to train regional Qld comics and create paid gig opportunities.

If you’re looking for a night of laughter, look no further, the Road Trippers are coming to you.
Putting on eight shows, four comedians (and some ring-ins) with a slightly dodgy car are making their way through regional Queensland for limitless laughs.

Tour organiser Anna Brennan said Road Trippers was a welcome return to live performing.
“Coming out of a year where almost everything was cancelled, it’s great to be back on the road,” Anna said.

“Coming out of a year where almost everything was cancelled, it’s great to be back on the road,” Ms Brennan said.
“Cancelling gigs isn’t just about lack of income, it’s also about lack of momentum. It’s hard to develop new material when you don’t have an audience to perform to.
“I’m so freaking excited to disgrace some stages up north.”
“We’re bringing some top comedy talent to regional Queensland, plus your first chance to see some new and emerging talent, and inviting local comics along for a guest spot at some gigs too.”
