Subletting My Room for an Hour with Max Flett and Montana Papadinis
Fresh from the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, comedians Max Flett and Montana Papadinis bring a stand-up show about moving out of your parents’ house and how hard life is to be young and cool.
Max moved in to the spare bedroom of a 75 year old lady’s house for cheap rent.
Montana went on a donation based meditation retreat to “find herself”
Both of them are still scabbing cigarettes and telling everyone they’re “looking for a new job”, they’re not..
If you’ve ever stretched a paycheque for a pint, or if you’ve got a vape they can use for a bit, this shows for you!

Tim Batt: Left To His Own Devices
NZ comedian/podcaster Tim Batt makes time between releases of his impossibly long-running, smash hit podcast The Worst Idea of All Time (co-hosted by Guy Montgomery) and being the only political commentator in NZ not being paid by lobbyists (unverified but likely true) to return to Adelaide with a brand new hour of standup!
Turning 40 later this year, Tim isn’t the same drug-promoting Leftist cracking wise at Right-wing politicians and the hyper wealthy that he was in his 20s. Now he’s also a dad! So he’s also very tired now.
Prior shows from Tim were reviewed:

CHRIS PARKER – I’VE SAID IT ONCE AND I’LL SAY IT AGAIN
I’ve started reading 6 books last year and even finished 2 of them, I’ve taken up knitting and got my daily screen time down to 2.5 hours. In the year 2027, that is as close as we can get to enlightenment.
Truly, I’ve even beaten off some of the undiagnosed ADHD accusations with just sheer willpower.
If there was any year that I was going to say something truly profound, and beyond my usual low bar of “it was like totally like random vibes”, it would be this year.
My 2027 tour I’ve Said it Once and I’ll Say it Again” is my gallant, if not slightly vain, attempt to say something on stage that is worth repeating. Failing that, it will be the usual frantic, fast-paced stand-up, but I might chuck in some smart-sounding words in the mix, like “hubris”.
See you there!
