FULL CAST NOW ANNOUNCED:
Host- Carl Donnelly (UK) is an award-winning stand-up comedian known for his laid-back storytelling, sharp observational humour, and unique take on the absurdities of everyday life. With a career spanning over a decade, Carl has established himself as a favourite on the UK and international comedy circuit, earning critical acclaim and a loyal fanbase along the way.
Ben Hunter is a boyish, offbeat force in the Australian comedy scene. He has a tendency to get a little freaky with it and doesn’t mind getting a touch quirky with it too. He’s opened for comedians like Aaron Chen, Aunty Donna, Emma Holland, and Giamarco Soresi, as well as receiving rave reviews for his own work in sold out shows at the Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane comedy
festivals.
Con Coutis is an award-winning comedian from Melbourne. His mix of stand-up and sound effects has seen his 2023 show “Con vs Con Vs Con” nominated for best independent show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Best Comedy at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
Janty Blair is a deadly Butchulla, Mununjali and Woppaburra woman who loves bringing her brand of Blak comedy to the stage while showcasing the talents of an older First Nations woman, who never expected to land this comedy gig thing!
Meg Jäger exploded onto the Australian comedy circuit post Covid lockdowns and has quickly cemented herself as an emerging favourite around the country, with her National Raw Runner Up award in 2023 and a Best Newcomer Nomination in 2025. Her acerbic witticisms have been described by The Saturday Paper as pleasantly tart and casually delivered but biting observations.
