Lineup
Sam Bowden
Sam Bowden is a writer, actor and comedian who’s been plying his trade both here and in the UK since 2012. Having worked alongside the biggest names in comedy and opened for the likes of Danny Bhoy, Brian Posehn and Lawrence Mooney, Sam has taken shows to nearly every major arts festival in the country. His debut solo hour The Epicurean Shark enjoyed a sell-out weekend at the Wonderland Festival in 2018 at the Brisbane Powerhouse, after which he was invited back to perform as part of the Brisbane Comedy Festival showcase and Queerstories. In 2019 he opened the MELT Queer Comedy Gala alongside the likes of Rhys Nicholson and Demi Lardner. After a stellar 2019 which saw him also appear on ABC’s Utopia, Sam now resides in Sydney where he’s a staple of the Sydney comedy scene, performing regularly at the iconic Giant Dwarf Theatre and The Comedy Store. Sam debuted his hour “DandyLion” at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2022 with great success. Not just a performer, he works as a writer helping production companies punch up their projects and secure funding. He recently helped secure ScreenQLD funding for web series APPS, and worked alongside K29 Studios on an unreleased project for Snap Originals. Alongside writing partner Steph Tisdell and Kylie Sparrow, Sam is building a new dramedy series exploring lateral violence and modern colonialism in remote Australian communities, with the project entering pre-production in 2022. Come see him do the world’s best job at comedy.
Deano Sheeran
Widely regarded as the greatest dancer and comedian to come out of Wollongong, Deano has spent the last five years performing at the best comedy clubs and theatres across South-East Queensland, including numerous showcase performances at Gold Coast Home of the Arts and the legendary Sit-Down Comedy Club. After a recent stint of sold out shows in Queensland, he is excited to be bringing his unique brand of self- deprecation to Sydney Town for some fun shows.
Kim Snow
Kim Snow’s comedy is a blend of awkwardness, honesty, and chaos. Kim embraces the journey of trying to be ‘normal’ without any point of reference. Her perspective and humour invites audiences to laugh along at the unpredictable ride of figuring things out.
Adam Campbell
Adam Campbell is a Sydney comedian who began his comedy journey in early 2025, since then he has honed his craft and become a regular face across Sydney’s comedy scene. As someone who seems to be a magnet for unpleasant interactions, Adam uses this as inspiration for witty anecdotes and cutting observations. Having recently felt comfortable enough to go public with his new endeavour, you can now follow Adam’s journey on Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
Sam Bellwood
Sam Bellwood is a Sydney-based comic known for his dark, twisted sense of humour and love of all things ridiculous. Believing no topic is off-limits, Sams brings an unapologetic and unpredictable style to the stage. Since beginning stand-up in 2025, he’s performed alongside some of Sydney’s top comedians and established Australian comedy acts. In 2026, he appeared as a contestant on SBS’s MasterMind. Outside of comedy, Sam has a background in Twitch streaming, podcasting and music, while also pursuing his passion for filmmaking.
