ROD QUANTOCK
Rod Quantock is one of Australia's most loved comics and identities. Rod sprang from architecture revues in the early seventies, going on to create the landmark series, Australia: You're Standing In It.
He is one of the reasons that Melbourne is the live comedy capital of Australia. Rod's Melbourne Comedy Festival live shows are fast sell-outs, and he received the Green Room Award for Best Fringe/Comedy Event for his show Sunrise Boulevard. He was a regular on the Network Ten’s Good News Week.

BRAD OAKES
Brad Oakes is a popular and versatile performer; a veteran of thousands of shows, television appearances and other media. Despite this list of achievements, he constantly strives to perfect his performances, adding to his extensive repertoire as he goes.
His take on comedy is that it will be best for the audience if they can "see jokes through his eyes" and accordingly takes time to craft his material. His technique incorporates adapting his speaking to match whichever audience he is working to entertain. The resultant 'natural style' provides access to his humour that makes crowds listen and shut out the outside world.
Whatever the event Brad has the experience that provides humour that all can enjoy. He combines clever concepts with simple language to provide laughs and an experience to be talked about long after the event. He is also a trained public speaker and a highly sought after Compere.

JOSH THOMAS
After only a few short years of performing stand-up, Josh’s unique talent has the Australian Comedy Industry abuzz. His innocent face and cutting dialect combine to create a voice that is genuinely distinct and exciting. For a performer so young to have such an honest and developed sense of who he is on stage is quite remarkable. He picked up the Gong for Best Newcomer at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for his first ever solo show, Please Like Me, and followed this with 6 weeks touring with the Comedy Festival Roadshow.
Josh has been a regular favourite on Talkin’ Bout Your Generation, Good News Week and ABC TV’s Q&A – he is a frequent and entertaining contributor to the world of Twitter and has charmed and engaged audiences of all ages via TV, radio, the internet and, of course, his live performances.
