Your ringmaster extraordinaire Peter Helliar (AUS) will host a congress of colossal comedians in an international comedy spectacular!

Marvel with wonder as the most marvelous Boy With Tape On His Face - Sam Wills (NZ) creates a world of possibilities where the only certainty is laughter, returning from the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with 5 star reviews and a “Best Newcomer" nomination.

Be astounded by stand up comedian & TV star Ben Hurley (7 Days), winner of both the Billy T & Fred Awards, as he reveals his most ‘Excellent timing, belly laughs and an easy charm’ (The Christchurch Press).

Be enthralled at the mastery of Australia's Sammy J & Randy, as they dazzle you with their ‘filthy, frenetic and gloriously funny’ comedy (Chortle - UK). They boast 5 star reviews from Edinburgh and the Barry Award for “Most Outstanding Show” at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Witness with astonishment the staggering sleight of hand of 2010 Billy T Award nominee Jarred Fell, as he commands the stage combining fast-paced razor sharp wit and a tornado-like approach to magic, gore and comedy.
