Gig Guide

Urvi Majumdar has spent her whole life trying to be normal. It’s not going well. Whether she’s trying to gain respect from teenagers as a Casual Relief Teacher, from her Indian family who are permanently concerned, or from the men in the deep dark pits of hell (Hinge), Urvi always kind of feels like a freak. Like the time she got a flesh-eating wound, and had to go on literal leprosy medication, and in the process, fell in love with her doctor just because he listened and nodded his head in a kind way. This freakshow will have you saying “It’s a true! It happened to a friend of a friend of mine..”

“She recounts like a Tina Fay fever dream”  ★★★★ The Age

Ally Dent (32) and Chelsea Finlayson (23) are two of Adelaide’s most exciting emerging comedians, and they’re going exactly 50/50 on ‘Type B²’, from production to performance.

Chelsea is a 2026 Raw Comedy State finalist, Generation Fresh 2026 winner and host of the Work Day radio show on Fresh927. Ally is also a 2026 Raw Comedy State finalist, with her own segment on Fresh927.

A ten-year age gap, besties, total chaos. Expect party times, heartbreak and muscling through a man’s world, with stories from hospitality, sales and now comedy. Type B personalities always get it done… eventually.

One minute you’re on one of Australia’s biggest TV shows, the next you’re single, living in a camper trailer and cooking sausages in a sandwich press and praying it doesn’t rain because there’s a f**king hole in the roof.
Brett Blake is back with a comedy show about the wild gap between appearances and reality. It’s about finding the funny in failure, suburban life, and how looking successful doesn’t mean you’ve got your shit together.
We all pretend life’s going great on Instagram. But sometimes it all goes to shit. And when it does, you might as well laugh about it!
“Blakey is also one of the sharpest minds in contemporary Australian comedy” Wil Anderson
“Brett’s like an energizer bunny loaded up with relatable funny jokes, he can tear the roof off. I love him.” Mel Buttle

So how do you want to go – with a bang? A whimper? A snooze?

In this heart-warming, side-splitting hour, meet 90 year old Willy, along with a host of weird and wonderful characters, as he tries to pad out his obituary before it’s too late.

England 1606.

William Shakespeare must write a tragedy for the ages or forever be relegated to open mic sonnet nights.

The audience and a special guest performer must use video game controllers to get that blood-soaked tragedy to the stage.

or not.

I mean if everyone survives, it’s no tragedy, right?

I’ve got a brand new hour of stand up which I’m bringing to Adelaide – the last two years I came to the Fringe was for “Michael Chamberlin’s Completely Incomplete History of Australian Rules” – people had fun – it sold out a bunch.

This time I come back for an hour of stand that I reckon is really good. Like genuinely good.

Look – it’s about break up – therapy – but it’s also has good stories about how I once hung out with the band Oasis – got revenge on a real estate agent – met a bloke who once told The Beatles to stop being The Beatles – so there’s a lot going on…

“Entertaining and intelligent – this guy is funny” Adelaide Advertiser

“You enter his word with confidence – what he sees is worth sharing” Herald Sun
