MATTHEW HARDY

Matthew Hardy is a Melbourne-based comedian and comedy writer who was the first Australian to cement himself full-time on the UK live circuit. A regular at many international stand-up comedy events, he is renowned for his sly, sarcastic one-liners.

Matt’s TV credits include hosting two series of The Big Schmooze, Foxtel's only Tonight Show on The Comedy Channel and appearing as a panelist/roving reporter on ABC-TV's The Fat. He was part of the UK The Sketch Show writing team, and subsequently for Kelsey Grammer's sketch series on FOX in the US. Hardy also appeared in the last Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his own take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, along with special guest Julie Dawn Cole, who portrayed Veruca Salt in the 1971 film.

"In heaven, everyone will be as naturally funny as Matthew Hardy".

LEHMO

Lehmo is one of Australia’s most experienced and well travelled comedians. Lehmo’s live work has seen him headline at comedy clubs for well over ten years and work all corners of the globe – the USA, the UK, Ireland, South Africa, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Thailand.

Lehmo is no stranger to TV, having appeared on many popular shows including Good News Week, Rove Live, The 7pm Project, The Circle, The Glasshouse, Stand Up Australia, Hey Hey It’s Saturday and Before The Game. He has also played cameos in two feature films, played a guest role on Neighbours (as himself) and has starred in a string of TV ads.

Lehmo is a regular on the festival circuit, having performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Adelaide Fringe Festival and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He also holds the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in an hour (549).

MICHAEL VEITCH

Michael Veitch has attempted, and occasionally succeeded, in a wide range of endeavours, all loosely affiliated with the entertainment industry. He became famous for his impersonations of politicians and individuals, as well as a sizeable array of comic characters (including the brilliantly observed ‘gay airline steward' alongside Steve Vizard, in a small cardboard set made up to look like the interior of an aircraft).

More recently, Veitch has turned his attention to stagework and writing, with a lead role in the Broadway musical version of The Full Monty, and several roles with the Melbourne Theatre Company alongside people such as Geoffrey Rush.  

RACHEL BERGER

Rachel Berger is widely acknowledged as one of Australia's finest stand up comedians. Her material is political, psychological and socially conscious. It encompasses contemporary lifestyles, offering a hilarious and poignant expose of human foibles. Her dynamic presence and engagingly sharp observations have made her an extremely popular performer both live and on television, across Australia and overseas.

PAUL MARTELL

Paul Martell’s client base reads like a corporate "who’s-who". He is a multi talented performer who adds impact to any occasion with fast pace Irish wit and an abundant array of Hollywood impressions.

Whether he is Master of Ceremonies at a three-day conference, compering an awards presentation, creating a "Hoax Character" at a seminar or performing his Cabaret Show with wife Jane Scali at a Gala dinner, Martell stands alone as the consummate professional!

He is the only Australian performer to have been voted Comedian of the Year at the Australian Variety Artists Mo Awards on 12 occasions.

ANH DO

After bagging every comedy award in town, including the Sydney Comedian of the Year, and appearing on every television show featuring comedians including Rove Live and The Footy Show, Anh Do finally realized his regular gigs at Rooty Hill Bikers Club would one day get him killed. Since then, Anh has turned his hand to acting, film producing and writing.

Ahn is clean, uplifting, positive and clever: a real treat for comedy fans, corporate guests, and everyone from 8 to 80.
