From shooting a child with a bow and arrow to being held hostage in a foreign country, Fleet has obviously (and astonishingly) had his share of super heroic moments.
Ali McGregor’s Late-Nite Variety-Nite Night
This show is a great opportunity to see seven acts for the price of one or decide what your picks of the fest will be.
Stephen K. Amos – Laughter Is My Agenda
He’s the bitchy, fabulous man we all wish we had as a best mate – a rare combination of cultured, low-brow, ridiculous and the terribly sublime.
Lindi Jane – Chicken Pox!
Lindi Jane and her troop of peculiar puppet friends make for a superb evening of entertainment at Wonderland Fun Park on the Docklands. In keeping with the best of children entertainment, the show is a jam-packed mix of laughs and educational material as Snap’s Kakadu Club teach their young audience right from wrong.
Phi and Me Too
Dealing with language barriers, family expectations and cultural differences, Phi appears to be a typical Vietnamese boy who studies hard to make his mother proud, but deep down inside all Phi ever wanted in life was to be a superstar.
Tom Ballad – Doing Stuff
Adventures of the offensive and hilarious are where Ballard rules and Doing Stuff hits the high notes.

Hannah Gadsby – Hannah Wants A Wife
Gadsby is deliriously funny and delivers a thrilling, heady mix of sarcasm, intelligence and insight.

DAVE Callan delivers an epic retrospective of his radio career working the late night graveyard shift at Triple J.
Luke Heggie – Master of None
As a former Raw Comedy champ, I was keen to see something a bit removed from what I’ve come to expect from other emerging comics. Heggie has an air of weirdness about him: he talks like he’s missing a few screws and then surprises the audience with his unusual intelligence.
Wanda Sykes
From the moment Sykes took the stage she had the audience under her slightly self-deprecating spell, stalking the stage with her instantly recognisable afro.
Girls Night
ONLY on Girls Night would you find yourself cackling over waxing salons, swinging babies, ukulele and Cindy Lauper. With Cath Styles hosting the all-lady event over the Comedy Festival season, this is a show that not only compliments your evening, but also asks you life questions: Kids vs the iPhone.
Chris KP – Pre-Coital: The Science of Dating
A slick production that was familiar and eye-opening at the same time, this is the show to see if you want to take something away with you. Stay away if you want to switch off your brain and sit through an hour of fart, dick and drunk jokes.
