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.

Would you like to see Tassie’s forests pulped or protected?

Gunns Limited are planning on building a pulp mil in the north of Tasmania that will be a disaster for climate change, will be 80% native forest based and destroy an area forest equivalent to 100,000 MCGs.

The ANZ Bank can help stop the pulp mill by refusing to fund the development.

Help convince the ANZ Bank not to finance the pulp mill.

Join thousands of others who want to see Tasmania’s forests protected, not pulped, in a Rally and March on Sunday June 15 at 12 noon. 

Starting at the ANZ towers 55 Collins St and heading down to Federation Square, come for an afternoon of live music and celebration of Tasmania’s forests.
