Colin Hay Has Australian And New Zealand Shows Planned For April and May

Colin Hay will return to Australia for shows in April and May.

The former lead singer of Men At Work will include an appearance for the Sydney Comedy Festival on the tour. Hay’s anecdotes after his career leave many a comedian’s set for dead. He is dead funny when the talks about his past, especially his time as one of Ringo Starr’s All-Starr Band stars when Ringo freaked out that Colin had a bigger clothes case than him.

Colin Hay will also perform at the New Zealand Comedy Festival in Auckland and Wellington.
