Get ready to laugh your heart out.
The quick-thinking queen of ventriloquism and British Comedy Award winner, Nina Conti brings her five-star smash hit show to Sydney for the Just for Laughs comedy festival, direct from sell-out seasons in London’s West End and at the Edinburgh Festival. In this dating infused live show, there’s no promise that true love will be found, but a firm guarantee of big laughs will be had in the reign of this ‘voice-throwing queen’ Conti has stormed Live at the Apollo (BBC), The World’s Best (NBC), made the BAFTA-nominated film Her Master’s Voice, and enjoyed sell-out shows across the world – all without moving her lips!

22 Nov 2025

Hosted by the brilliantly chaotic Demi Lardner, this cult comedy favourite assembles a knockout lineup of Australia’s most unconventional and inventive performers: Dan Rath, Sez, Tom Walker, and Neel Kolhatkar. This isn’t your average stand-up show. The Alternative Show champions the strange, the surreal, and the side-splittingly unexpected. It’s a place where punchlines twist into absurdity, routines turn into rollercoasters, and nothing is quite what it seems.
