JUDITH LUCY - NOTHING FANCY

The wait is over. Judith Lucy is back on stage with a brand new show - 'Nothing Fancy'.

No singing, no dancing, just gags about everything from meditation to beards.

'Lucy is one of our finest comic talents, of any sex, race or religion. It’s rare to see a display of such intelligence without ego' Sydney Morning Herald

'Great comedians have time for a sip of water after delivering a punchline. There were times when Lucy could have gone to the bar for a glass of red and we'd still be laughing when she got back.' The Age

TOMMY LITTLE - A FISTFUL OF APOLOGIES

  

"Just remember; no matter how wrong you are, you stick to your guns." Tommy long suspected his dad knew these weren't the wisest of words. The results are a life that is rarely well directed but always funny.

TOM GLEESON - GOOD ONE

Last year’s season completely sold out. So probably best to buy a ticket… Good one.

Countless television appearances, radio shows and live performances aside, it’s Tom’s honest and non self-deprecating take on everyday life and his relationships which make him a standup comedian amongst comics.

He’s toured the globe, sold out houses and made a name for himself as a sure bet where laughs are concerned. If you want to laugh, see Tom Gleeson.

HANNAH GADSBY - HANNAH WANTS A WIFE

This is a show about women as wives. It's a surprisingly funny show given that dinner won't cook itself.

Who wouldn’t want a wife? They do things for you. If Hannah had a wife she would have written a better blurb and would be wearing smarter shoes. If that wife were Liz Hurley then she would have had a facelift and a spray tan too.

Hannah Wants A Wife is the brand new show from one of Australia's most ladylike comedians. Man it will be good.

As seen on ‘Adam Hills In Gordon Street Tonight’.

DAVE THORNTON - THE SOME OF ALL THE PARTS

From five-star reviews in Edinburgh to sold-out shows in Johannesburg, the world is sitting up and taking notice of Dave Thornton.

If you know him from Network Ten’s The Project, you should probably also know that Dave’s day job is touring the world, telling jokes to people who pay to hear what he has to say. His easy going persona, honesty and turn of phrase make him not only a star on the rise, but also a damn funny way to spend an hour!

FRANK WOODLEY - BEMUSEMENT PARK

Australia’s most visually compelling comedian returns to the stage.

Frank is built from funny, it’s in his bones – from head to toe. Wide-eyed, he weaves physical comedy, whimsical songs and standup into a hilarious, slapstick, drop down hour of fun. A Frank Woodley show is like watching a bewildered child try to pack a giant octopus into a suitcase. 

“one of our greatest comic talents…at once dapper and goofy, Woodley marries classic comedy schtick with clever, modern material” The Age

“you must leap out of your chair and sacrifice life and limb to buy a ticket” Sunday Herald Sun

He has been nominated for the Perrier Best Newcomer Award (Edinburgh Fringe), the Barry Award for Most Outstanding Show (Melbourne Comedy Festival) and the Best Established Comedian (Adelaide Fringe).

Scotty is back with her award-winning show Regrets.

The smash hit of the 2011 Comedy Festival, Denise won the Directors' Choice Award and went on to also pick up the 2011 Helpmann Award for Best Comedy Performance.

She's Australian comedy's next big thing and she's been here for a while.

When she was sixteen an event took place or rather didn't take place in Scotty's life which caused her to forever wonder: "What if?" Forty years later at a chook meet, following the Black Saturday bushfires, she unexpectedly found the answer to her question. Sort of.

As seen on Winners & Losers, The Project, Talkin' 'bout Your Generation & Spicks and Specks.
