Idiots of Ants
5. What do you do when you get sad?
We don’t get sad. Life is good. We do comedy for a living! We do a 7 hour week, we don’t have a boss and we can drink beer at work. We can’t believe our luck!

Alex Horne – Seven Years in the Bathroom
8. What do you want to be when you grow up?
An army (that was my stock answer aged 3 and I’m sticking with it).
Party for A Living – Kirsten Law
An amusing satirical take on the health, beauty and “wellness” industries, this is not a stand up act, it is an entire performance! Complete with a plethora of interactive characters as well as powerpoint presentations and visual aids (such as rocks that are hand sourced by underweight Javanese orphans, available to purchase – of course!).
Extreme Rambling (Walking The Wall) – Mark Thomas
1. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less!
UK bloke tries 2 walk Israeli wall in W Bank, arrested, stoned by kids, meets nice ppl + nutters, weird funny bit sad eats too much humus.
Livin’ The Sweet Life – DeAnne Smith
2. Since you’re a comedian, is there a lot of pressure to be funny on a first date?
I love how you assume I go on first dates.
The Shelf – Justin Hamilton & Adam Richard
Our compare was the incomparable Adam Richards, who got more and more outlandish as the night progressed, perhaps due to his self proclaimed love of alcohol and the inability to say no to people, once even coming on stage shirtless to announce the next act!
East End Cabaret
I wasn’t sure what to expect from East End Cabaret – was it meant to be set in East Germany, some kind of black comedy play within a play that would end up annoying me and making me feel dumb?
Troubadour – Asher Treleaven
1. Describe your show Twitter style, 140 characters or less!
An autobiographical show that asks if my life is interesting enough to talk about for an hour.
The Axis of Awesome – Lee Naimo
6. When and/or why did you decide to become a comedian?
I wanted to be a lawyer but my parents constantly pressured me to get into the arts. “Make sure you study how to be a singing clown so you have a backup career” they’d say. They were right.
