Featuring

Adam Bloom

One of the most sought-after acts in the country. Perrier Award Nominee and Polygram Award winner for best stand-up at the Edinburgh Festival.

'He's been one of my favourite stand-ups for about ten years (Ricky Gervais) 'In the premier league of comedy' (The Independent) 'He makes me laugh out loud, I can't wait to see him live' (Sir Ian McKellen) 'Bloom is perhaps the perfect comedian' (The List).

Esther Manito

After a sold-out, rave-reviewed tour last year, Esther is back - this time embracing the sheer joy of having absolutely no dignity. She’s tried elegance. She’s aimed for sophistication. But somehow, chaos always wins. Because really — how do you keep your poise when you’re juggling kids, aging parents, and the crushing weight of unmet expectations? Following the success of her last show, Hell Hath No Fury, Esther is done pretending. Labeled an “angry woman”? Fine. She’ll own it. Now, she’s leaning in even further — into the mess, the mayhem, and the gloriously undignified truth of it all. From failed attempts at being sexy, sudden hearing loss, and awkward encounters with dodgy drug dealers, to the brutal realities of a waxing session gone sideways — nothing’s off limits. Because when there’s war in the world and family back in Lebanon, there are bigger things to worry about than being a “slagbomb”. **** “Manito skilfully weaves her own personal story with a wider look at gender issues in society” Evening Standard **** “An absolute riot from start to finish” Everything Theatre **** “Effervescent…Incisivley funny’ The Skinny **** “Simply brilliant” Voice **** “Absorbing” One4Review **** Funny Women **** The List

Michael Shafar

Since leaving a career in law for comedy, Michael has been working hard to win his mother's forgiveness, and has (somewhat) achieved that, having performed around Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the US and on international waters. From 2015-2016 he hosted Channel 31's satirical news show The Leak and developed the viral sensation Round Squares, a satirical webpage and web series that has reached millions of Australians. In 2016, Michael reached the RAW Comedy National Grand Final, represented Australia in the Laugh Factory's Funniest Person in the World Competition and toured across Asia, headlining at some of the continent's largest comedy clubs. He also developed, produced and hosted the showcases Melbourne Comedy's Rising Stars and 3 Course Comedy, which continue to sell out shows. 2017 was another huge year for Michael, selling out his entire season and extra show of Jewish-ish at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, selling out shows at Sydney Fringe Comedy, performing on ABC's Comedy Bites, triple j's Good Az Friday, landing a gig writing jokes for Channel 10's The Project and appearing in the show's sketches, as well as being selected to perform internationally on Carnival Cruise Lines and Celebrity Cruises. In 2018 Michael toured his new show Kosher Bacon to sold out crowds in Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne to rave reviews. In 2019 he performed his biggest tour yet with 50/50, his darkest and funniest show yet, chronicling his diagnosis and treatment for testicular cancer.
