Kath and Kim are back and they're live!

Funny girls Jane Turner and Gina Riley will bring their Kath and Kim characters to life in a new live show.

The comic duo will headline Sydney’s World’s Funniest Island comedy festival at Cockatoo Island on October 16 and 17 joining a line-up including Wil Anderson, the Umbilical Brothers and Julia Morris.

Event organiser John Pinder said Kath and Kim will be a favourite. “This really is a huge comedy coup for World’s Funniest Island,” he said.

“Gina and Jane are Australia’s biggest comedy stars and they are hosting their first-ever Australian live show with us. We’re feeling a little bit special.”

And what did Kath and Kim have to say about their up coming appearance?

“We are extounded to be invited to the World’s Most Yumerous Island,” Kath said.

“We are currently on a specific cruise as we speak and doing all the islands. We can’t wait to drop in to World’s Funniest and getting a couple more lays when we arrive. We hear it’s just like Ibiza … but funny.”
