SYDNEY comedian Becky Lucas is part of a new lie-down comedy offering at this year’s Sydney Comedy Festival that takes the form of a rickshaw-style bike with a full-sized in-built bed.
The free horizontal ride to the CBD festival gigs, complete with pillow and doona, comes complete with free chuckles, as Lucas joins passengers for the ride.
“Lie-down comedy is basically the new stand-up,” Lucas said.
“The Ubed is the perfect way to get guests and myself warmed up pre-gig. It’s a hybrid of travel, comedy and comfort – what more could you want?”
Festival partner Travelodge Hotels developed this novel mode of transport, the Ubed, which will operate in central Sydney. The Sydney Comedy Festival starts on April 23, with Travelodge Hotel Sydney’s own pop-up running from April 30. A ride in the Ubed is free, bookings travelodge.com.au
