DAVE HUGHES
Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes is perhaps one of the most important and significant talents to have emerged from the Australian comedy scene in the last ten years. A natural and unmistakably Australian comic, Dave’s laconic style thinly disguises one of the fastest comic minds this country has ever seen.
The most powerful testimony to Dave’s talent is his enduring popularity with audiences: he is one of the highest selling Australian comedy acts in the country. Along with Kate Langbroek, Hughesy makes up Melbourne’s Nova 100 breakfast team - and if that’s not enough, he can be seen each week on Network TEN’s Before The Game during the AFL footy season. He is a Melbourne International Comedy Festival regular and currently co-hosts The Project weeknightson Network TEN.
“Hughes is skilled, appealing to all and always in control. Excellent.”

THE CREW
The Crew is a collection of comics, actors and other talented types with very vivid imaginations and the amazing ability to create stories full of drama, action and comedy from a single-word suggestion from the audience. Masters of improvisation, The Crew are to able create a great scene in 10 seconds or keep it going for 30 minutes, delighting the audience with layered and hilarious tales, songs or quick-fire impro games.
The troupe started performing together at The Comic’s Lounge one Sunday evening during the 2001 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, with no name and no real idea as to what they were going to do. However, they soon realised they had something special - and so did their audiences, which steadily grew as word Impro Sundae got around. Impro Sundae is now the longest-running and most successful weekly improv comedy night in Australia, dazzling thousands of punters since its inception.

DAVE O'NEIL
Dave O’Neil has been in the business of comedy for over 20 years. The Age newspaper calls him “one of our most accomplished stand-ups”, and with good reason - he has performed at 12 Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, and at various comedy clubs around the country.
As well as his stand up career, Dave is a skilled radio broadcaster, and has been a part of successful teams on Nova 100, Vega 91.5/Classic Rock FM, and most recently on 774 ABC Radio in Melbourne. He has also become a regular part of successful TV shows such as Spicks and Specks, as well as Adam Hills in Gordon St Tonight, and Good News Week: not to mention that he is an Australian film and sketch comedy actor and the author of several books!
Dave’s observational humour and genuine humility have made him a much sought-after MC and corporate entertainer.

RUSTY AND ANOTHER GUY
After 20 years as half of Australia’s favourite musical comedy duo, The Scared Weird Little Guys, Rusty Rich (the little one) continues the musical hijinks and slick silliness that established The Scaredies as one of the most sought-after corporate acts in the country.
Rusty now joins with the fabulous Mike McLeish (the other guy) – an accomplished musical theatre performer and improviser who famously played Paul Keating in Keating: The Musical for three years. Together, they continue the tradition of high energy, musical skill and heavenly harmonies blended with quick-witted improvisation and song parodies.
They make an entertaining addition to any type of event and can even offer a specially written song, tailored to suit any company or message.

Jimeoin has appeared on many popular variety and comedy TV shows, and his self-titled show Jimeoin aired nationally on the Seven Network for three series.
Jimeoin wrote and starred in his own feature film titled The Craic (1999). In its opening weekend, “The Craic” became the second highest grossing box office movie in Australian-produced film history.
