What can people expect from your show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival?

I think the title probably says it all.

BRITISH AND IRISH COMEDIANS TO SEE THIS YEAR

TOP COMICS REVEAL THEIR FAVOURITE COMEDIANS

What have you been up to since last time you were here?

Since I last performed in 2017, I’ve been writing for Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell, writing and presenting Channel 31’s The Leak, as well as performing shows in the Melbourne and Adelaide Fringe Festivals.

Who should see your show, and why?

Certainly anyone who’s seen a newspaper in the last 12 months.

And if you haven’t, then come anyway cause I’ll explain everything as I go.

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

Loads. But Andy Matthews and Alistair Trembley-Birchall are doing a show called Magma. They always manage to take jokes in directions you aren’t expecting them to go.
