What is wrong with Adelaide?

The headlines flash: “Australia’s global comedy heavyweight, Jim Jefferies, will bring his internationally acclaimed Son of a Carpenter tour home in 2026 for a huge run of dates across the country, hitting arenas and theatres this July and August”.

The list of cities and towns included on the tour reads like a who’s who of Australia.

Brisbane, Bendigo, Cains, Canberra, Broadbeach (Qld), Glenorchy (Tas), Broadmeadow (NSW), Newtown, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

What, no Adelaide, must be a typo, again!

Richard Harris, Gawler
