Evin Donohoe
Evin’s standup mixes an innocent, wide-eyed view of the world with interludes of aggressive cynicism to create orginal, surreal “what if?” scenarios. He also nurses a healthy obsession with Harry Potter, fueled by a typical Sydneysider’s addiction to coffee.
Evin currently divides his time between Sydney and London, with occasional lapses of judgement in Paris and New York, as outlined in his festival show International Homewrecker.

Fiona O’Loughlin
Fiona O’Loughlin is the funniest working mother in Australia today. Based in Alice Springs, Fiona has spent the past 15 years working as a stand-up comedian and a columnist as well as writer and presenter for ABC Radio. She has performed many television comedy spots including popular guest appearances on ABC TV’s Spicks and Specks, produced her own shows for Australian and UK comedy festivals and earned acclaim at Montreal’s invitation-only Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.
Fred Lang (QLD)
Freddo is one of the big hitters of the Aussie comedy scene. There have been too many years, venues and audiences to remember them all – but he does seem to remember cutting his comedy teeth around the club circuit in Sydney before making Brisbane home in 1999. Appearances on ‘Headliners’ (The Comedy Channel), and various radio spots (Sea FM, MMM) have served only to increase his profile.
Fred has performed for Aussie Troops in East Timor, and The Solomon Islands, and Iraq. He’s performed in front of our Prime Minister… Fred was very restrained that night! Also hosted the opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics National Games of 2006.
