Ray O'Leary 'Laughter?' I Hardly Know Her!
Friday
Find Tickets
Ray O’Leary (Taskmaster, Have You Been Paying Attention?) pulled a man from a wrecked car and as the man lay dying, he used his last ounce of strength to ask Ray (Best Show Nominee at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival) to tell his children that he loved them. And Ray (who sold out tours to Melbourne, Edinburgh, and more) will get around to it, but first, he has to do this comedy show.

I’ve heard the expression ‘Stop being so dramatic” my whole life, but only now, at the culturally relevant age of 34, am I ready to address it and face these drama queen allegations head-on. Please join me, Chris Parker, for an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy. Sure, I’ve cried in every speech I’ve ever had to deliver publicly, and yes, there may have been a situation this year where I slept on my neck weirdly and bought myself an unnecessary neck brace. Still, I’m desperate to prove that I’m really chill and down to earth. So, what better way to get you to understand that than with a one-man variety hour spectacle chill stand-up comedy hour?
Building on this momentum, 2024 saw Chris host the New Zealand Comedy Festival Galas, tour his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand, make his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You’re Here (where he won the episode), and release the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked.
NZ Herald - “By the time the show ends, you will have sore sides from laughing”***** - Time Out "Chris Parker is the real deal, a brilliant comedian who will leave you scream-laughing”

Friday

Bron Lewis 'Who's Talking?!'
Saturday
Find Tickets
Ever wanted to know what your high school teacher actually thought of you? Or whether she believed your excuses? Or what she wanted to say to the Year 8 boy who refused to leave the class? Well, you’re going to want to see this show. Before Bron Lewis was one of Australia’s most promising new comedians, she was a high school teacher for almost a decade. It was an era where she both nurtured young hearts, encouraged kids to be brilliant, but she also made some lifelong enemies. You’ll hear more about them this show than the nerds.
Bron became a teacher because she hates learning - she would rather saw off her own legs then learn a new card game, and in her opinion, who ever coined the term ‘board game’ was bang on. Bron raises the question: what happens when someone tries to avoid learning at all costs? They teach. Sit down, and get ready to learn.
“Lewis has a skilful, natural delivery, in control of her material and holding the audience rapt without seeming to make an effort..” - ChortleBecky Lucas 'Things Have Changed, But The Essence Remains'

My name is Becky Lucas and this is the blurb for my stand up comedy show. I am the only female Australian comedian to have performed on the Conan O’Brien show in the US, I’ve hosted the MICF gala, I’ve performed my solo show at the Sydney Opera house and written my very own book called 'Acknowledgements'.
The thing is, I’ve listed my credits here for almost ten years and to be honest, I’m not even sure if anyone has ever read them. I don’t want to include quotes from newspapers about how funny I am because who cares?
