This month at Polit we will be entertained by the great Harris Stuckey (the great)! Harris is great, and he has done it all - and due to having a strong bias for routine - is happy enough to do the same venues again! He’s performed all around the country, he’s performed in …
Back by popular(ish) demand! Join Canberra’s finest comedians as they awkwardly create smutty but humorous stories based on randomly drawn pop culture topics. It’s going to be hilarious, filthy, and certainly memorable. Featuring Josh Glass, Liv Sparrow, Frances McNair, Danny Bensley, Cy Fahey and more!
This month’s Polit headliner is Ian McCarthy! Originally a Canberra boy, Melbourne has been his home for the past few months where he has been honing his powers of observation, aiming to eat at least twice per day, and making the rent (to varying success). Join us as Ian takes us on a …
This June at LolPol we are joined by everyone’s favourite cheeky thespian, Riley Bell! Riley has unparalleled energy, absurdity and an acute desire to entertain, pretty much all of the time. If there’s something happening on a stage, or there’s a microphone around, odds are you’ll find him there. Join him this month …
Joining us this month at LolPol is the one-time Canberra local but still-time funny man Andrew Bensley! If you love stories, if you love self-deprecation, if you love slick social commentary, if you love hearing truth (or lies that blow up), Drew’s going to go there. We’re never sure of the exact ratio, but …
The Canberra Comedy Festival is in the rear-view mirror but do not despair! LolPol is back in April with local folk hero Josh Glass! Josh has been honing his impressive storytelling and observational style, complete with always astute (and often ridiculous) observations. Join Josh for what promises to be a fun-filled evening! He will …
This month's headliner is local legend Shahed Sharify. His dry wit and natural style has seen him perform all over the country, sometimes more than once! Join Shahed for a Summer evening of thought-provoking and intelligent social commentary that stops short of being preachy because it's inherently laced with apathy and a (barely) lukewarm desire …
Danny Bensley is a Canberra comedian with a tendency to overthink the mundane things in life. He is public servant (just like you!) by day and an off duty public servant by night, so he has plenty of time to get down to the nitty gritty of the pointless. He has been part of sold …
“I gotta lot of problems with you people, and know, you're gonna hear about it!!” - Costanza, Frank (Festivus, 1997) 2016 is (nearly) in the book! Come and join a motley bunch of local Canberra comics – a ragtag bunch of atheists, agnostics, and at least one Catholic who finds tinsel ‘distracting’ – as they …
Anthony Tomic returns for the November edition of LolPol! Join him for an evening of one-sided conversation on topics and themes on which he’s aching to share his perspective on. (It’s better this than ranting on the street, which he might still do to be honest). His January LolPol show sold out, so be …
Having become a regular of the Canberra Comedy scene for the past 18 months, Phill Carruthers is ready to take the mic for longer than usual as he headlines at this months LolPol. Phill has been described as a thoughtful, witty and an impressively self-effacing comic. When you're done laughing at his jokes, you'll probably …
Codie Bell is a comedian and social media tragic who has been offending sensitive men in comedy rooms across Canberra since the beginning of the year.

Back by popular demand, it's COMPETITIVE EROTIC FAN FICTION! With brand new story tellers and brand new childhood idols to randomly pluck out of a hat and make do the nasty. It's the cheapest, dirtiest and safest show in town where you can't actually get in trouble from your spouse if they find out you …
It's not every day that Canberra's best comedians write steamy and sexually explicit stories about your favourite characters and national treasures doing steamy and sexually explicit things. But by George that day is going to be the 16th of June, 2016. Featuring Harris Stuckey, Vanessa Conlin, Riley Bell, Anthony Tomic and more.
Ian Worst is not a comedian as he is more a 'New Millennial Word Artist.' His jokes are not jokes but rather splashes of paint across the canvas of the human condition. That is of course in a universe where the human condition consists entirely of eating Arnott's Cheddar Shapes and smoking rolled cigarettes outside …

One night only! Featuring the Knights in White Satin: Harris Stuckey, Andrew …

Join Anthony for his first ever headline set as he explores humanity from a variety of angles, none of them straight on. If you’re after an emotional rollercoaster that only a passive-aggressive, self-deprecating captain can steer; Anthony also drives for Über.
A staple of the Canberra comedy scene for the past four years, Simon Bower is the annoying little brother you never had. He giggles at his own jokes, he's bad at girls and he's writing this bio in third-person like a pretentious ass. But he's also disarmingly honest and willing to tell very embarrassing stories …
Andrew Bensley has been pottering about the Canberra comedy scene for a year and a half, delivering half-baked premises and awkward punchlines with aplomb. Come hang out and watch him fumble through 30 minutes stand up and then buy him a beer please, he's very hard up for cash at the moment. Supported by the …
Tony Bradford's meandering through life have seen him live in various parts of west and Central Europe and Africa, where he has performed stand-up comedy to often bemused locals. Now it's Canberra's turn. Tony's musings on the life of an Englishman in Canberra, his extremely belated fatherdom and the origins of wagyu beef have been …
