progress (or one hot
loose sexy ride)
Presented by Josh Glanc

going to be a hot loose mess, full of wonderfully off-beat
new characters and lots of surprises. A “master of craze
ceremony” The Guardian, 2019. “Bizarre, provocative,
random, clever...go see him” ½ The Advertiser, 2019.

Karen From Finance is heading
Out of Office! She’s hitting the
road and she’s hitting it hard. Say
goodbye to the 80 hour workweek, and jump on board the
Finance express for this one-woman journey of self-discovery...and
self-annihilation.
What do you do when, after 15
years of comedy, writing, activism
and championing human rights,
you’re still best known as ‘that
feminazi bitch off the telly’? The
Have I Got News For You writer
and international award-winning comedian is doing the only
thing that’s left: Owning It! “Fun, energetic and full of ideas”
John Cleese
Kel Balnaves and Leigh Qurban

punchy and relatable standup. A
show full of clever observations,
relatable stories and laconic
delivery. Go halves or go home!
“[Kel] Had the audience continually laughing”, “Leigh Kills it”
The Advertiser. “Punchy delivery, vivid mental imagery and an
engaging manner” Chortle.

Kelly Fastuca in Good
Egg
Presented by Kelly Fastuca
Stand-up stalwart Kelly Fastuca
presents a hilarious and revealing
new hour about what to expect
when you’re not expecting. She

produce a few. But don’t feel bad for her – needles are fun! A
fun and fast-paced show about dating disappointments, egg
harvesting and fried chicken.

Join Kieran Bullock (Big Hoo-Haa Melbourne!) for a quite
frankly baffling evening of interior decoration masquerading

set against the background of a man building a bookcase*
on stage. *won’t be a bookcase every night.

Krishna Istha. Directed by Zoe
Coombs Marr (Best Show Melbourne Comedy Festival, Edinburgh
Comedy Award nominee), Beast throws a refreshingly
daft non-sense bomb at the binary everything.
