“I gotta lot of problems with you people, and know, you're gonna hear about it!!” - Costanza, Frank (Festivus, 1997) 2016 is (nearly) in the book! Come and join a motley bunch of local Canberra comics – a ragtag bunch of atheists, agnostics, and at least one Catholic who finds tinsel ‘distracting’ – as they …
