PLUS

This show has the best Coldplay joke ever told!

Brisbane comedian Chris Martin is coming to Ipswich with his hilarious show.

This show is not about the fact that he has the same name as the lead singer of mega band Coldplay, and how that has shaped every social interaction in his life... AHHH! Nah he's totes chill about that...

He's just funny and wants to do a show, and is armed to the teeth with new jokes and new stories that will leave you in fits of laughter.

Also, if Chris Martin from Coldplay turns up (which is possible), there will be a duel to decide who the best Chris Martin is!
