NEWS: Red Card Comedy arrives at Comedy on the Rox on Saturday 26th July
Simply Awesome!
 Australia’s newest musical comedy sensation, The Axis of Awesome, top the bill at Comedy on the Rox this Wednesday (July 9).
They are Sydney's self-proclaimed greatest musical comedy rock band.
They sing songs, tell jokes and receive awards.
They're also incredibly humble.
The Axis comprises lead singer Jordan Raskapoulos, Benny Davis who claims to have 85 per cent of the group’s musical talent and Lee Naimo who plays guitar, drums and bird-slide whistle.
In the short yet incredible time they have been a band, they have performed to sell out crowds across the country.
Their 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show “The Axis of Awesome Comeback Spectacular” won a Moosehead award, and played to packed houses and rave reviews.
Their debut album "Scissors, Paper, ROCK!" is out now, and they will soon be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
They leave men laughing and women gasping (and also laughing).
Get ready to have your face blown off its hinges.
``Their musical lampoons really hit the mark . . . they had the audience in stitches, hooting for an encore – 4 stars’’ -The Age.
MC for the evening will be one of Australia's brightest young comedians Eric Hutton who will host Heat#13 of Quest for the Best.
Quest for the Best is Australia's richest open mic contest with first prize of $5000.
The winners of each heat are decided by the audience's vote with first and second going through to the preliminary finals.
The winner and runner-up of each preliminary final goes through to the grand final.

- Nathan Meola

Word of the Week is Carpet.
Sharing the Joy
Comedy on the Rox changes the world one laugh at a time, and now we also helping to change the world one loan at a time by supporting Kiva.org.
Kiva is a microfinancing organisation that enables individuals to give $25 loans to low-income entrepreneurs in the developing world. You've heard the story, "Give a person a fish and they eat for a day, give them a fishing rod and they eat for life"...
Why do we support Kiva?
 We are gifted weekly with joy, fun, mirth and the removal of sorrow. These are the gifts we wish to share.
It's your entertainment dollar that helps Kiva lend money to people to buy the proverbial fishing rod so that they can make a living, expand their small businesses, and repay the loan.
The money repaid is then loaned to another person in need, and in this way your gift keeps on giving.
Since November 2007, Comedy on the Rox has made loans to one woman in Cambodia and three women in Nigeria. You can read Sam, Adesuwa, Esther (pictured on the left) and Helen's stories on our Kiva lender page, and find out how easy it is to make a difference in someone's life.
