The Secret Policeman's Ball
Amnesty decided not to present a benefit show in 1978 in order to consider how to make better use of the performing talent so favourably disposed to assist it in raising funds. Peter Luff left Amnesty in 1978 and the organisation's new fund-raising officer, Peter Walker, was deputed to work with Lewis on reconfiguring the show to raise more money and greater awareness of Amnesty. Lewis proposed to Cleese that in addition to the comedy performances the show should feature some contemporary rock musicians. Cleese delegated this responsibility to Lewis who recruited Who guitarist Pete Townshend to perform, as well as New Wave singer-songwriter Tom Robinson.

Lawrence Mooney: Moonman
Moonman is a sophisticated and disturbingly honest exploration of Lawrence Mooney's comic psyche. It's the coming of age story of a 50 year old man. In a year when everything was coming up roses for Lawrence, things started to fray at the edges. Why was this three time Barry Award nominee and happily married father of two doing 170 km/h in a 100 km/h zone? After being arrested at his home, he had his car impounded, faced a magistrate and, well - you'll need to see it for the rest of the story.

Jeff Dunham: All Over the Map
Jeff Dunham and his iconic creations, Achmed, Walter, Peanut, and Bubba J. have embarked on an unprecedented world tour through five continents, logging almost 100,000 miles and starring in arenas where few American comedians have dared to perform. Tell the wrong joke in Singapore or United Arab Emirates and risk being handcuffed before you ever leave the stage. Bring Achmed the Dead Terrorist on stage in Malaysia after a government warning forbidding his presence, and you may never leave Kuala Lumpur. While Dunham crafts pop culture references that can excite a local audience upon entering each country, Jeff shows that humor is truly universal. Most of the time.
