Expression Of Interest for the Funny Monday Project in Perth is coming to a close very soon. Shahar Hason and Yohay Sponder will be bringing their comedic brilliance straight from Tel Aviv to Fremantle. The event is live and kicking, with the current statement made on February 5th, 2024. The concept for this show came together just over a week and a half ago, and to ensure its feasibility and secure approval from the artists, a pre-sale was initiated. The goal was to reach a minimum of one hundred initial ticket sales. Initially, the event was scheduled for Friday, March 8th, but after valuable feedback from the community, it was decided to move the event to Thursday, March 7th to accommodate Sabbath observers facing scheduling conflicts. Both dates are being retained for now as the situation continues to evolve. If the event proceeds, it will be held on Thursday, March 7th, featuring two back-to-back performances with an intermission between sets for refreshments, cleaning, and organization. However, the vision is to do two shows back-to-back, but that will be decided once there are enough ticket holders for the first show. Achieving the initial ticket sales goal will determine the official operating hours. In the event of an overwhelming response, a similar schedule to that of Friday will be considered. The support of the community is crucial in bringing top Israeli artists to Australia. Flight tickets have already been secured and paid for upfront, except for Perth. Reaching the sales target will allow for confirming travel arrangements, covering associated costs, and securing accommodations. The venue has limited capacity, so the first one hundred tickets sold will be allocated to the first show, with subsequent sales earmarked for the second show. The team behind Funny Monday expresses their gratitude for the support thus far and looks forward to the possibility of welcoming everyone to this memorable and successful gathering.
