Friday 3 July Doug Chappel

Friday 17 July Brett Nichols

Doug Chappel has been a professional comedian for over 10 years and is an energetic performer with hilarious facial expressions, astute observation and charm. He has toured internationally, been the headline act in every major comedy club in Australia.

A regular headline act on both the Sydney and national comedy circuit, Brett is a well-seasoned and highly versatile comic. Brett features at Sydney’s comedy hot-spots, The Comedy Store, Fox Studios and The Laugh Garage.

Friday 10 July Chris Radburn

Friday 24 July Steve Allison

With his hilarious observational style of humour, former lawyer Chris Radburn is one of the funniest comics on the scene today. Chris has made numerous television appearances including The NRL Footy Show, NBC’s Last Comic Standing, Stand up Australia and Joker Poker.

With a natural sense of humour and quick wit, Steve’s show is a wellcrafted mix of snappy one-liners, hilarious stories, funny home truths and current topics. It is Aussie humour at its best.

Friday 7 August Joel Ozborn

Friday 21 August Tom Siegert

Joel is a regular in comedy clubs across the country including stand out performances at Sydney’s original comedy store, where he continues to entertain audiences with his unique style of comedy. Joel has toured with fellow comedians Akmal Saleh and Arj Barker. He will leave you in stitches!

Tom has a unique style of comedy that has made him a crowd favourite all over Australia.

Friday 14 August Daniel Townes

Friday 28 August Dave Thornton

Daniel Townes began performing comedy in late 2003 and since emerging on the scene as one of the country’s hottest comedy prospects he has taken his gags global.

Based in Sydney and occasionally London, Townes is one of Australia’s youngest international comedians.

Bio-Human, comedian, sometimes actor and breathing enthusiast. With his accessible humour and free flowing style, Dave’s success as a comic has quickly broadened into a range of performance credits on TV, radio and stage.

He is a talented writer and this becomes obvious as you get hit with punch lines that no one sees coming. Tom is a very different ‘much see’ act.

Friday 4 September Harley Breen

Friday 18 September Mick Meredith

Harley Breen has blown away audiences from the sugarcane fringes of Queensland to the sweaty stages of the Edinburgh Fringe.

Regularly headlining around Australia, Harley has won over a legion of fans with his accessible and relatable comedy.

Mick always had a love for standup comedy and gave it a crack in the 1990’s at the legendary Harold Park Hotel. Since then he has appeared and headlined in every major comedy venue in Australia.

Friday 11 September Mick Neven

Friday 25 September Danny McGinlay

Mick’s first gig was at The Arts Centre Gold Coast in October 2003 when he qualified for the semifinals of the Legends of Laughter competition. Since then, Mick has been a regular performer at venues around the country.

McGinlay once described himself as a ‘slightly nerdy bogan with too much testosterone’ and while he’s matured, there is still the hint of your enthusiastic little brother whose only wish is to make you laugh and he succeeds.
