After 40 years of performing, legendary comedian Rod Quantock reckons he’s now ready to pack his hatchet of humor and for the first time tackle the audiences: Way Out West.

Rod said: “With the ice caps melting and Williamstown so low in the water already, if I leave it any longer I’ll have to do the show on a pontoon.”

Ever the carbon-conscious performer Rod has figured it is better he goes to his audience than the audience drive in their droves to the city to see him. He thinks the newly refurbished Mechanics Institute is the perfect place to meet.

Like all Quantock shows, Way Out West will be wise, witty and wickedly funny.
