Experience the fun of Australia’s largest comedy festival in your own backyard. Grab your mates and get on board the Roadshow.
Dilruk Jayasinha is one of the most beloved and in demand comedians in Australia. After moving from Sri Lanka to Melbourne to attend university, Dil completed a degree in accounting and started working for one of the ‘Big Four’. However, after being let go and then performing at an open mic night in 2010, that all changed.
His style of personal, upbeat and effervescent stand up is renowned for providing audiences with glimpses into his life. Highly relatable and introspective, his ability to charm a crowd is second to none.
On top of selling out his stand-up shows around the country, he is a welcome regular on TV and radio – appearing on our most loved shows such as Utopia, MasterChef Australia, I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, Spicks & Spicks and Have You Been Paying Attention?. You’d be hard pressed
not to be familiar with his wit, charisma, and honesty.
He has performed stand up on numerous Melbourne International Comedy Festival Galas and Just For Laughs, hosted the RAW Comedy Final on SBS and recorded his own special Bundle Of Joy for Prime Video in 2020, available worldwide.
In 2018, Dilruk received the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent at The TV Week Logie Awards and in 2022, he suffered a heart attack. Both were life changing.
Fresh off opening for Aunty Donna, with appearances on Grouse House and Channel 10’s Talkin’ ’Bout Your Gen, Con Coutis is an award-winning comedian from Melbourne. His mix of stand-up and sound effects has seen his 2023 show “Con vs Con Vs Con” nominated for best independent show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Best Comedy at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
His 2024 show, CON 2077, had a sold out season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and won the Sound and Technical Excellence award at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
Kate Dolan is an award-winning comedian and rising international talent. She is the 2025 MICF Golden Gibbo Award winner, the recipient of the Skinny x Fest Breakthrough Award and was longlisted for Best Show at the Edinburgh ISH Awards.
Kate has appeared on the BBC New Comedy Awards and is the star and creator of the sketch show History Untold on Grouse House. Hailed as a future star with multiple four and five-star reviews, Kate’s bold, offbeat comedy and sharp storytelling have quickly established her as one of the most exciting emerging voices on the circuit.
Kuah Jenhan is one of Malaysia’s leading stand-up comedians, known for his quietly disarming presence and razor-sharp storytelling. A regular international performer, he has appeared on Comedy Central and was part of the inaugural Comedy Zone Asia at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. He is also featured in the festival’s Asian Allstars Gala. His comedy shifts seamlessly from big laughs to unexpected depth.
Maddy Weeks is an award-winning comedian and a 2024 MICF Best Newcomer nominee based in Naarm, Melbourne.
Described by the ABC as having ‘bucketloads of joy and energy on stage’, Maddy is quickly becoming one of the most captivating acts on the Australian stand-up scene.
