Contentious Election Night
2025-05-03 18:30 - 21:30 | Contentious Character Urban Winery, 1 Dairy Road, Fyshwick, ACT, 2609, Australia
Join us at Contentious Character Urban Winery on Saturday, 3rd May, for an election night with a twist. Sure, we will have the coverage on TV. It is not election night without Antony Green calling it for Australia. But it’s time Australia had a panel of analysts who are more laughable than the candidates.
For you, the people of Canberra, Fenner, Bean and Eden-Monaro, we’ve got a panel of legendary Canberra comedians for your election night. Some with plenty of political nous. Some with none at all! Diverse as you can get across the political universe they will be entertaining and engaging you with live, unfiltered, and outrageously funny commentary on the election coverage, the campaign, the political players and the pundits.
Our panel has been curated by the Canberra Comedy Team who have brought you the wildly popular Contentious Comedy Debates. Early polling suggest this will sellout fast!
What’s in store?

Absurd and witty political analysis from the panel throughout the night

Political games sillier than those played by the politicians

A room full of strangers to share the chaos (because why stress alone?)

The perfect excuse to drink wine and heckle the TV.

Tickets: $29 (show only, drinks & food sold separately)
Where: Building 4, 1 Dairy Road, Fyshwick ACT 2609
When: Saturday, 3rd May | 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Of course, you can come early. The bar will be open! And if we don’t have a result by 9:30pm you can stick around and keep watching it on tv until late. And yes, the bar will still be open then too!
No matter which side of the political fence you sit on, let’s raise a glass, ruffle some feathers, and make election night actually entertaining.

2025-08-07 19:30 - 20:30 | Canberra Theatre Centre, Civic Square, London Circuit, Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia
Back in the day, Sarah Ison turned to the wisdom of Tumblr to “live, laugh, love” her way out of the creeping existential dread. Despite all her efforts at following the advice of the spiritual leaders of the age and just “shaking it off” or Marie Kondo-ing her way to happiness, she still doesn’t have the answers. So she’s turning back the clock to the OG’s. No, not Kelly Clarkson. From the classic thinkers of Plato and Socrates to the canine-obsessed Pavlov, this uproarious stand up-sketch show takes you through hundreds of years of philosophy and psychology to answer the question all the great thinkers tried to solve: What the f***s the point?

Get ready for a night of laughter, wit, and unexpected perspectives at “The Unholy Trinity of Music, Death, and Politics.”
This one-of-a-kind comedy show will have you laughing at life’s darkest and most ridiculous realities, featuring three unlikely performers who know their stuff. Stell Muses, a real-life death doula, will take you on a hilarious journey through the end of life, proving that even death has its lighter side. Seany Boy, an aspiring politician, delivers the inside scoop on the absurdities of government with sharp humour that hits close to home. And rounding out the trio is Nathan, a musical comedian by night and IT nerd by day, using his guitar to deliver side-splitting songs that combine tech geekery with catchy tunes.
There’s no better way to laugh about death than from a death doula, to chuckle about politics than from a politician, and to enjoy hilarious songs than from an IT guy with a guitar. Join us for a show that promises to be funny, thought-provoking, and wildly entertaining.

The Women’s Room – Underestimated
2025-08-08 19:30 - 20:30 | Canberra Theatre Centre, Civic Square, London Circuit, Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia
They’re back for the third iteration of the Women’s Room at the Canberra Comedy Festival. They know what you’re thinking – is anything good on its third go? Take the movie Die Hard 3 – what was that about? However in this threequel, Trish Hurley, Tan Losanno and Jacqui Richards break the curse with their brand new show Underestimated.
Trish Hurley has a new job – she’s the personality hire. She’s been travelling the world with her reluctant uni student son and a husband hell bent on getting the best deal ever. Tan Losanno is balancing her hormones and her teenagers (don’t ask). She’s marrying anyone who turns up after doing her duty by checking that they’re not being secretly coerced; and Jacqui Richards is dodging match makers and public servants whilst wondering whether her kids have actually ever told her the truth about anything.
They’re women of a certain age. They know what it is to be underestimated and it’s a gift. Who was it that said “Never underestimate women; there’s a good reason the queen is the most powerful piece on the chessboard”?
These queens of comedy draw on their busy, active, funny lives and dare you to underestimate them.

2025-08-09 18:00 - 19:00 | Canberra Theatre Centre, Civic Square, London Circuit, Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia
Sarah Stewart’s past 40 years have been a roller-coaster of birthing babies, corralling a hopeless husband, and wondering where her kids ‘parked’ themselves this time. Now, on the wrong side of 60, she’s traded delivery rooms for bucket lists and swapped forceps for funeral plans (organized in a Google Doc, naturally). This seasoned midwife will be dishing the dirt on life, love, and the Labour Ward.
Sarah’s been selling out standup comedy shows like hot scones at a Country Women’s Association meeting, including the North Australian Festival of Arts in October 2024 and this year’s Adelaide, Newcastle and Darwin Fringe Festivals.

Tom Gibson – Bored & Scared
2025-08-09 19:30 - 20:30 | Canberra Theatre Centre, Civic Square, London Circuit, Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia
Tom Gibson spent his childhood alternating between feeling bored and feeling scared. Not that he’s complaining. His generation had better childhoods than this current crop of kids…or did they?
Tom bellyflops into the age-old debate about which generation had it best – but also hardest but also the most special but also the toughest – by calling out the contradictions, cliches and complete historical re-writes of each side of the argument. Filled with hilarious stories about the pitfalls of youth, the frustrations of adulthood, and how to find inspiration to achieve your best, this show will appeal to anyone who’s ever argued their childhood was the best…or worst.
Join Tom for an hour of fun and nostalgia as he delves into the shallowest of topics to uncover the least meaningful of insights in the most unnecessarily animated ways possible. And you never know, somewhere beneath the trivial observations and silly jokes, a deeper message may be hiding.
(You do know. There isn’t.)
