Ray O'Leary: Your Laughter is Making Me Stronger

Kiwi comic Ray O’Leary will be coming to Bunjil Place with his brand new live show, YOUR LAUGHTER IS JUST MAKING ME STRONGER.

Every time Ray does stand-up comedy and people laugh he gets a little bit stronger. Soon he will be the most powerful man in the universe. At the end of this show he will be able to lift a car above his head.

Ray O’Leary is known for his deadpan delivery and iconic grey suit. His sharp wit and awkward bravado saw him sell out his 2023 show Everything Funny All The Time Always in his debut year in Australia. It also saw him nominated for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

He is a staple on Australian TV screens with regular and unforgettable appearances on Ten’s Have You Been Paying Attention? The Cheap Seats (on which he is also a regular writer), Thank God You're Here and Taskmaster NZ. In NZ, he regularly appears and writes for 7 Days and Have You Been Paying Attention?

Incredibly funny for someone who looks like an accountant who has accidentally wandered on stage, Ray is a two-time nominee for NZ’s prestigious comedy award, the Billy T Award, and regularly sells out his New Zealand International Comedy Festival shows.
