Imaan Hadchiti

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.

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. In 2018 Edan competed in the RAW Comedy Competition and advanced to the NSW State Finals. 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.

Andrew Barnett (Headliner)

Andrew Barnett, Barney to literally everyone, walked away from a promising medical career to do stand-up full time. Medicine's loss, your night out's gain. He hit the ground running in 2010, reaching the NSW State Final of RAW Comedy, and he's barely been off stage since. Sydney crowds know him well from regular spots at The Comedy Store and Happy Endings, and he's taken his act to Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Perth Comedy Festival and Sydney Fringe. His comedy lives in the everyday stuff: parenthood, the small absurdities of being a functioning adult, the moments you didn't realise were funny until someone points them out. You'll also know him from Fox Sports' Sunday Night with Matty Johns and The Back Page, and from presenting on SEN Radio.
