Adam Hills (Australia) has achieved international acclaim as one of the world’s best stand up comics. His combination of positive uplifting comedy and rampant spontaneity have seen him receive a swag of awards (including three Perrier Award nominations), glowing reviews and a legion of fans around the planet. "Hills delivers stand up so effortlessly brilliant you wonder why some comedians even get out of bed." The Guardian, London
Hannah Gadsby (Australia) is something of an overnight success. And she owes it all to a friend who entered her in the 2006 Raw Comedy Competition, at the tender age of 28. In her own dry, self-deprecating manner, which is typical of her stand up style, she says, “I’m from Tasmania, we’re slow there.” Since her win in 2006 she has become a regular on the Australian and international comedy scene, having now performed all around Oz, as well as in New York, Edinburgh and this years Cat Laughs in Kilkenny. She’s currently touring Australia performing her latest show, Kiss Me Quick, I’m Full Of Jubes.
