Luke Heggie is coming to Bendigo 6 June 2026 - tickets available at https://www.bendigoregion.com.au/arts-culture-theatres/event/luke-heggie
This show is a compilation of bits, lovingly curated from the last five years. If you don't like that, you can rack off.
The exact same people who pay three figures to watch legacy bands playing songs from back when they were happy, will never forgive hearing the same set of words from a comedian. If that's you, you can rack off.
There will be one new joke in this show. The rest is old. Most comics have this protocol anyway, while making up a new title. They can rack off too.
