Do you live in the Southern suburbs? Want to explore what the Southern suburbs has to offer? Or are you just interested to catch-up with like-minded people? Once a month Steph hosts our Southern socials. It is a great opportunity to meet others. Our emphasis is on fun whilst helping and supporting each other. The socials include drinks and chats, casual coffees, dinners and other activities suggested by members from time to time. Our socials are informal and open to all. We pay for own food and drinks individually and there is no charge for the organisation of the events. We hope to see you!

Get ready for an unforgettable night of belly laughs as we bring the best in Australian comedy right to our brewpub stage! ### FEATURING ARJ BARKER Arj is bringing his unmistakable blend of razor-sharp observations, absurd logic and effortless storytelling to the stage. Known from Flight of the Conchords, Thank God You're Here and countless sold-out tours around the world, Arj has a unique ability to find the ridiculous in everyday life and turn it into comedy gold. Whether he's unpacking modern technology, relationships, human behaviour or the strange quirks of life we all pretend are normal, Arj's laid-back delivery and brilliantly offbeat perspective will leave you wondering how you've never noticed it before. Smart, hilarious and refreshingly unpredictable, this is stand-up comedy at its finest. Don't miss your chance to see one of the world's most original comedians live at Bad Shepherd. ### Make a night of it and book in for dinner! Grab your tickets now, arrive early for American BBQ and house-brewed beers, and settle in for a night of world-class comedy.
