With a reputation for “training the untrainable”, UK stand-up comedian and animal expert Emma Malik (The Jim Jefferies Show, Studio 10) is the world’s only comedian with a CV that boasts training everything from tigers, dugongs and crocodiles to bearded dragons and goldfish! Emma brings her wildly popular web-series Celebrities Patting Animals live to the stage for the very first time for Sydney Comedy Festival. 

Emma brings some of her closest animal friends & celebrity guests along to get up close and personal live on stage in a special fundraising show to help the Wildlife Conservation Fund to continue their incredible work supporting care & conservation of Australian native animals including the many affected by bushfires and drought. 

No animals were harmed in the making of this hilarious show. Tickets are not expected to last long!
