WHAT TO SEE IF YOU DON’T LIKE STAND-UP COMEDY

NEWBIES AND RISING STARS TO WATCH

If you’re new to MICF, tell us about you. If not, tell us what you’ve been up to since last time you were here.

I’m the king.

Spruik it! Who should see your show, and why?

Anyone with a sense of humor, if you don’t have a sense of humor, stay at home with your cats.

What’s your No.1 tip for people coming to see a show at the comedy festival?

Leave your kids in the car, windows slightly cracked if they have been good.

Which other comedians/shows are you keen to see at this year’s festival, and why?

Tommy Little — Funny guy.

Dilruk Jayasinha — He is also a funny guy.

Nick Capper — Funny hair.

What stands out to you about Melbourne?

Melbourne is a lot like Sydney if Sydney wasn’t a complete cluster f--k, that left a bad taste in every single person’s mouth that has ever visited it since the dawn of time ... does this make sense?

What I’m trying to say is Sydney is a s--t hole. Melbourne is pretty good, not as good as my show, you should come and see it.

Who or what is your comedic inspiration, and why?

Jim Jefferies, because he was not welcome at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

Clementine Ford, because she’s hilarious she always makes me laugh.
