Undeniable tour de force of the comedy world South African-New Zealander, Urzila Carlson will kick off her Aussie Tour for YOU DON’T SAY (a show born out of sarcasm and storytelling) at Melbourne International Comedy Festival before taking on the rest of Australia.

Much loved Australian comedian Nazeem Hussain hot on the heels of his 2024 hit TOTALLY NORMAL will present his brand-new show YOU PAID FOR THIS, presumptive selling at its best! Ray O’Leary known for Taskmaster, Have You Been Paying Attention? and Best Show Nominee at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival will present sixty minutes of the finest stand-up he’s come to be known for with LAUGHTER? I HARDLY KNOW HER!
Melanie Bracewell (The Cheap Seats, Taskmaster (NZ), Have You Been Paying Attention and Thank God You’re Here) on the cusp of turning thirty will unpack her twenties with much hilarity in A LITTLE TREAT. Chris Parker is ready to face the drama queen allegations head-on in STOP BEING SO DRAMATIC whilst Guy Williams, Host of “New Zealand Today” (TV3 NZ/ Youtube) and Nominated for “Most Outstanding Show” at the 2023 Melbourne Comedy Festival will present the hilariously long titled IF YOU MILDLY CRITICISE ME I’LL SAY I’TS CANCEL CULTURE AND TURN TO THE ALT RIGHT.
