AJ Lamarque

A Beginner's Guide to Ancient Egypt

Pyramids. Pharaohs. Spells. Few civilizations capture the imagination quite like Ancient Egypt: a world of mystery, magic and mildly concerning burial practices. Now, award-winning comedian and amateur Egyptologist AJ Lamarque (Celebrity Letters & Numbers, ABC Radio Evenings) invites you to unwrap the myths in a crash course 5,000 years in the making.

After sold-out seasons at Sydney Comedy Festival, Melbourne Fringe and Brisbane Comedy Festival, AJ returns with an adults-only hour that’s part history lesson, part comedy and entirely entertaining. Expect gods, gossip and a few historically questionable practices along the way.
