A stacked lineup of Sydney's funniest comedians 🔥
📍 Buddy's Bar, Newtown
📆 Thursday 20th August
🕢 Doors 7pm | Show 7.30pm

Imaan Hadchiti is an Australian-based, Lebanese comedian that you must see. His comedy is one that will have you laughing out of your chair. If he wasn’t a comedian, he’d be outside in a food van flipping burgers because food service, like being a comedian, provides an instant reaction.

Kiyanosh Sahebi is an Iranian-Australian comedian and 2024 RAW National Finalist. He has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the country.

Tavis Harrod was a finalist in the Sydney Comedy Championship 2025 and has had a hand in numerous interstate festivals including Perth Fringe and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. A Sydney local, who has been performing across the country bringing laughs with observational humour, wordplay and relatability.

Jordan Bryce is one of those Sydney comedians who's somehow everywhere at once, and for good reason. Kookaburra's Comedy nights, Buddy's Bar in Newtown, The Sands in Narrabeen, the Nelson Hotel in Bondi Junction, The Drummer in Glebe — if a room's worth showing up to, he's probably already on the bill. Crowds love him before he's even hit his first punchline. That's not a small thing. Hosting is where he really shines, and good MC work is way harder than people give it credit for. Jordan has a natural warmth that makes a room relax immediately. Cold crowds, chaotic Friday nights, a headliner who needs a hot room — he handles all of it without breaking a sweat. Kookaburra's called him a "big goof" and yeah, that tracks, but in the best possible way. The kind of goof who's also quietly, genuinely excellent at this. Right now he's sharing bills with national headliners and keeps getting booked from the inner west to the eastern suburbs to the northern beaches. Venues don't keep calling you back unless you deliver. Jordan delivers.
Our headliner is the super funny Imaan Hadchiti 🔥
