September Line Up 

Tommy Dean

If you have never seen Tommy Dean you are genuinely missing out on a master of the language comedy. We refer to him around here as the “Good Will Hunting” of comedy. He seems to see life as an enormous equation in front of him and solves it in an instant with a mind bending laugh. With the unique edge of being an American who understands Australia!

Ben Kochan

Ben Kochan is a comedian who possesses a keen observational eye while maintaining a somewhat unhealthy commitment to being as silly as possible. Combine this with sharp writing and a phenomenal moustache, it’s a good time.

Ben was selected as part of the prestigious Comedy Zone at the 2019 Melbourne Comedy Festival, performed stand-up at Triple J’s Good Az Friday, Splendour in the Grass, and supported Tom Gleeson and Wil Anderson. It’s quite the hot streak, and one that’s seen him become a favourite at comedy clubs around Australia.

Rohan Arneil

Rohan Arneil is a former garbo/current stonemason. As a comedian he has performed all over Australia and internationally, starting his career in Sydney before moving to America for double the amount of gigs and a lower minimum wage. In 2020, COVID sent him spiralling back to Sydney to work as a garbo.

He has since appeared by invitation at the legendary Comedy Store in Sydney, opened for Sam Taunton at Newcastle Comedy Club, toured with the Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase (2023), and broadcasts weekly with Billy D’Arcy on ‘Get Around Me’.

Marty Bright

Over the past decade Marty Bright has taken his unique brand of physical, observation stand up performed around major cities across Australia, USA, Canada and New Zealand at the top clubs including the Sydney and LA’s Comedy Store, Caroline’s and Broadway Comedy Club in NYC and The Comedy Nest in Montreal.

Having been hand chosen for the prestigious FRESH, BREAKOUT and ROADSHOW productions at Sydney Comedy Festival, Bright has established himself as an affable and charismatic performer that is in demand around Australia. 

He has opened for Akmal, ARIA nominee Luke Heggie, Steve Hoffstetter and Daniel Muggleton as well as sharing stages with Matt Okine, Ronnie Chieng, Dave Hughes, Rhys Nicholson, and Fiona Oloughlin to name a few. 

Doors at 7:30pm with the show commencing at 8pm. Food available in the lower levels of the venue.
