Dave thornton
With his accessible humour and free flowing style, Dave's success as a comic has quickly broadened into a range of performance credits on TV, radio and stage. His performance at 2007's Melbourne Comedy Festival in Melbourne scored him a "Best Newcomer" nomination for his solo show.
"He's razor sharp and very funny" (Inpress).
"A quick and self deprecating wit" (The Age).

Featuring:
Smart Casual
Smart Casual are Nick Mattick and Ben Mattick - brothers from Sydney. They have been performing as Smart Casual for 2 years and in that time have achieved remarkable success. Together they won the NSW final of RAW, recorded their first album "Fletcher Jones", wrote and starred in "Genesis: The 12 Steps", performed at the Sydney Comedy Store and gigged at most popular Sydney comedy venues.
"Immediately likeable... Aussie laconic humour is alive and well" (The Brag)
Featuring:
Lawrence (Loz) Mooney
"Rare to see an act so mature, refined and funny" (The Age)... but not so surprising when you consider the breadth of Lawrence Mooney's experience in television, radio, theatre and 13 years of live stand-up performances.
"Mooney has a wonderfully tilted world view. This is a meticulous hour of comedy bult on a foundation of compassion from an upbeat misanthrope. Hilarious." 4 stars (The Age)
Featuring:
Celia Pacquola
Celia Pacquola burst onto the Melbourne comedy scene in 2006. After only a handful or gigs, but a barrelful of laughs she was crowned the Raw Recruit, winning the prize for Best First Time Entrant on the prestigious RAW Comedy open mic competition as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Celia's candid and richly funny observations of the universe were lapped up by audiences nationally and noted by critics. Celia took out the 2009 Melbourne Comedy Festival The Age Critics' Award.
"Celia Dazzled" (The Age)
Featuring:
Colin Lane as Emcee
Best known as one half of Australia's favourite comedy double act, Lano and Woodley, Colin Lane has earned the adulation of critics and audiences alike. In almost 20 years together Lano and Woodley won the coveted Perrier Award for Best Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, starred in their own TV series and toured sold out shows across Australia. Since their "Goodbye" tour that sold over 125,000 tickets, Colin has worked in theatre, TV, radio and continued his live stand-up performances.
"...crackles with so much black humour" (The Age)
