TWO HEADLINER HIGH PROFILE COMEDIANS FOR ONLY $50
YOU WOULD NORMALLY NEED TO TRAVEL TO A CAPITAL CITY TO SEE THESE FESTIVAL AWARD WINNING SHOWS, BUT WE ARE BRINGING THEM TO YOUR DOOR
Claire Hooper is the least fun person she knows. She’s used to getting her dopamine from answering emails and getting places on time. But she is gonna do what it takes – joke t-shirts, family glamping, practical jokes, birdwatching, laser tag, rock concerts – to become fun again.
A rollercoaster of jokes from an adult who doesn’t want to die thinking; well at least I said no to everything.
As seen on The Gala, Have You Been Paying Attention and Claire Hooper’s House of Games.
2025 AACTA Nominee Best Stand Up Comedy Special
“Hooper is silly, self-deprecating, manic and sweet. I defy anyone not to be charmed.” Theatre Matters
“Getting out to any comedy gig is a ‘type two’ endeavour, but if it’s Hooper’s, the effort is most certainly worth it.” ★★★★ Chortle
Usually described as a ‘New Zealand-born funnyman’, Tony Martin has been pissfarting about in Australian comedy for the last 35 years. On TV, he worked on ‘The D-Generation’, ‘The Late Show’, ‘The Panel’, ‘Kath & Kim’, ‘Thank God You’re Here’, ‘Upper Middle Bogan’, and the current hit ‘Have You Been Paying Attention?’
On radio, he was one half of ‘Martin/Molloy’ and the creator of ‘Get This’. On film, he wrote and directed ‘Bad Eggs’ and appeared in ‘Crackerjack’ and ‘The Castle’ (for nine seconds). He is the author of four books including the recent bestseller ‘Deadly Kerfuffle’. He co-created the award-winning podcasts ‘Childproof’ and ‘Sizzletown’ and since 2015 has performed with (ex-TISM singer) Damian Cowell’s Disco Machine. Oh, and he’s been doing stand-up since 1990 and reckons he’s nearly got the hang of it.
