  Edan McGovern

  It is safe to say Edan Mcgovern has solidified herself as an all rounder, if not, just an indecisive libra... stand-up comedian, singer, actor, dancer, playwright and director.

Then in 2019 together with Aaron Robuck, Edan co-wrote, co-directed and appeared in “We Are The End Of The World”, an original musical that reviewed a Sydney Fringe nomination.

• More details about Alexandra Hudson

  Alexandra Hudson

  Alexandra Hudson is a Sydney comedian, keynote speaker, and disability advocate with a story that honestly sounds made up — but isn't. Born one of triplets and the only one with cerebral palsy, she grew up watching her twin sister go on to become a judo world champion in 2019. Yes, really. Yes, she talks about it on stage. After attending a stand-up workshop in July 2020, she threw herself into the Sydney comedy circuit and hasn't looked back — building a profile that now stretches from Sydney to Edinburgh to the United States. What sets Alexandra apart is the combination of sharpness and genuine warmth she brings to subjects that rarely get stage time. Disability, sexuality, family dynamics, the everyday absurdities of living with cerebral palsy — she goes there, and she makes it funny in a way that also makes you think. Her 2022 TEDx Byron Bay talk on owning her sexuality with cerebral palsy is well worth your time, and her writing for ABC Everyday brought that same voice to a much wider audience. Audiences in Sydney know her well — she's a familiar face at Kookaburra's Comedy shows and has appeared at the Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase in 2022, 2024, and 2025. The accolades have followed. Joint first place at the RAW Comedy National Final at Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2022, a So You Think You're Funny finalist spot at Edinburgh that same year, and a sold-out run of her solo show Making Lemonade at Edinburgh Fringe 2024 — supported by a Creative Australia Arts and Disability Initiative grant. She's opened for Hannah Gadsby, appeared in the M&M's Comedy Spotlight Night, and toured nationally with the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow in both 2024 and 2025.
