Political Asylum - Late Night Riot

Josie Long steals the show from Rod Quantock and Nazeem Hussain.


This one-off event was a celebratory slander of the Australian Liberal Party, stupid shit Tony Abbott says, bogans and reductive opinions of Muslims that we never question.

These comedians had a go at everything: ISIS, Islam, feminism, and even rich, white, middle-class male cyclists in Lycra. The line-up included Nazeem Hussain (Legally Brown), Aussie comedy legend Rod Quantock (from pretty much everything ever) and special guest, UK comedian Josie Long. The favourite would have to be Long. She proved that incompetent government and ludicrously, far-right candidates exist everywhere, and all we can do sometimes is laugh or cry.
