Poop Joggers - Improvised Comedy Show
Brisbane improv comedy juggernaut Poop Joggers are hitting the stage!
Between 2017-2018 the quiet Brisbane suburb of Greenslopes was preyed upon by a corporate executive (CE) and his foul behaviour. On at least 30 different occasions this CE would go for a jog in the wee hours of the morning and defecate on a residential apartment block. After a successful sting operation by the residents, the CE was caught and given the nickname Poo Jogger.
From this story, four of the best improv comedians Taylor Edwards, Chris Milne, Coen Gilbert and Chris Martin (all from Greenslopes) teamed up and the improv comedy juggernaut that is the Poop Joggers was born. They have been tearing up comedy stages around Brisbane for 2 years now PLUS they sold out their show at the 2023 Brisbane Improv Festival. Their shows are always wild and so so funny!
The Poop Joggers are the true definition of the proverb - "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." They are hilarious lemonade!

Kelly Mac: Pimp My Son!
🎤 Kelly Mac: Pimp My Son! - Trial Show 🎤
Be part of the miracle! Award-winning comedian Kelly Mac is back with her latest show, Pimp My Son! – a raw, raucous, and pop-your-bra look at middle-aged life in the gig economy, and why her youngest son is living the dream on charm alone.
Off the back of her Best Comedy win at Newcastle Fringe 2023, Kel’s not pulling any punches. At 55, she’s broke, sober, and still hustling. Meanwhile her son seems to be shagging half of Europe with the other half lined up eagerly waiting, and for free, no less. If children really are the future, it’s time for Kel’s youngest to finance hers. It's a comedy hour that’s equal parts brutal honesty and belly laughs – with a side of pure grit.
Expect wit sharper than a knife, stories that’ll make you laugh and wince at the same time, and an unapologetic look at the chaos of life, love, and surviving marriage with the same bloke for 34 years.
💥 “Australia’s next comedy genius” - Tim Ferguson, Doug Anthony All Stars
💥 “Mac delivers. The laughs kept coming from the rapt audience” - NOTA

Someone In This Crowd Will Betray Me
I've got a terrible feeling about this show. Like somehow the whole thing is doomed. I have this recurring dream where I'm on stage, thousands of miles from home and the crowd has turned on me. There are thousands of them and they are all booing me and Sofia Vergara (from Modern Family) is there and so is Simon Cowell and he’s slamming his fist into a red buzzer and the sound splits the air like a gunshot and the ceiling rips open and confetti rains down like debris but the booing only gets louder and louder and louder and louder and then I wake up, and realise that all of that actually happened to me.
This show has nothing to do with that story. I doubt I'll even mention it.
As booed on America's Got Talent
'Offers nothing personal and almost no actual content.' ★★★★ Chortle (UK)
'Egotistical delusions.' ★★★★ The Scotsman (UK)
'Indescribable.' ★★★★ The List (UK)
'Disorderly.' ★★★★★ Isolated Nation
'When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?”'

And if that’s not the best compliment for Culprits, I don’t know what is" - Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane

Ridiculous Human Being w/Stuart Foreman
I’ve always known I’m a ridiculous human being—clumsy, absent-minded, and one bad decision away from being a walking PSA. But then I became a parent, and the universe threw me a curveball: a daughter who seems destined to follow in my chaotic footsteps.
This show is about my desperate, hilarious attempt to break the cycle and give her a fighting chance at normalcy. Can I teach her the life skills I’ve never mastered? Or am I doomed to raise the next generation of lovable disaster?
Come laugh at my misadventures, and find out if chaos really does run in the family

Poop Joggers - Improvised Comedy Show
Brisbane improv comedy juggernaut Poop Joggers are hitting the stage!
Between 2017-2018 the quiet Brisbane suburb of Greenslopes was preyed upon by a corporate executive (CE) and his foul behaviour. On at least 30 different occasions this CE would go for a jog in the wee hours of the morning and defecate on a residential apartment block. After a successful sting operation by the residents, the CE was caught and given the nickname Poo Jogger.
From this story, four of the best improv comedians Taylor Edwards, Chris Milne, Coen Gilbert and Chris Martin (all from Greenslopes) teamed up and the improv comedy juggernaut that is the Poop Joggers was born. They have been tearing up comedy stages around Brisbane for 2 years now PLUS they sold out their show at the 2023 Brisbane Improv Festival. Their shows are always wild and so so funny!
The Poop Joggers are the true definition of the proverb - "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." They are hilarious lemonade!

SKETCH FEST 2025: Buried Away & Woman Woman Sketch Sketch
Buried Away (a cemetery drama) (Ben Snaith & Alt City)
“Do you remember that old soap opera set in a cemetery called Buried Away? Well, we’ve found an old episode of it taped off the telly! In my opinion, the best part of old tapes like that is all the ads and community announcements from back in the day. But the soap opera was pretty good too: Remember how Rad Angel got worms in their brain while carrying out a shady deal with the towns’ mayor while also looking after their baby Samsung who speaks telepathically and who was now next in line to inherit the cemetery caretaker position since Rad’s younger half relative Sullivan needed time off to try to rescue their mum from the clutches of the Mineshaft Mermaid? Mayhaps you need a refresher, comedy-seeker!”
Woman Woman Sketch Sketch (Rosa Sottile & Friends)
A sketch show featuring Brisbane's funniest women writers, from new writers to old hands! Come see a showcase of some of the best women comedy writers and performers Brisbane has to offer. These sketches will explore neuroses, social mishaps, bizarre characters, and more.

SKETCH FEST 2025: Mom Help, Nothing Is Making Sense & That's Showbiz Baby!
Mom Help, Nothing Is Making Sense (Sammy Baumgartner)
They say the older you get, the wiser you get, but is this true? Before deciding, take a quick second to think about the everyday situations and interactions that surround you and the answer should reveal itself. As a society, we have really grown too accustomed to the everyday oddities and weirdness just to make it through another day. It is time to revamp our outlook, have a laugh, and view these scenarios for what they really are, weird enough to make you call your mom and ask her “what the heck is going on?”
That's Showbiz Baby! (Garth Remington)
All aboard the fame train. See what it takes to break a leg. Meet the absurd characters you'll find behind the curtain call. Learn how to be the lemon of the limelight. There will even be a few big name celebrity cameos.

Square Pegs
Square Pegs is a split bill stand-up comedy show by Georgie Row and Louisa Jones.
As two (neurodivergent) thirty-somethings, Louisa and Georgie each bring their own take on the decade. The show addresses the highs and lows of new motherhood, tales from a career in HR, dating, and an addiction to health fads that promise quick fixes with minimal effort. This show brings the laughs with a mix of the strikingly relatable and utterly unhinged.
Louisa is a comedian, writer and improviser based in Brisbane who has written and performed in the Anywhere Festival, Brisbane Fringe Festival and Brisbane Comedy Festival. She spent two months in the United States in 2023, training at iO Theatre and Second City as well as performing stand-up comedy in Chicago and New York. Louisa appears regularly on the Big Fork Theatre stage and Brisbane stand-up scene.
Georgie is a comedian and writer from Brisbane. An ex-lawyer with a background in theatre performance and direction, she has also written and produced sketch comedy. Georgie has undertaken training with the National Institute of Dramatic Art and the Cours Florent theatre school in Paris. She appears regularly on the Brisbane stand-up scene.
Together, Georgie and Louisa bring you a comedy hour that will keep you wildly entertained, whether you're preparing for, living in or fondly remembering the exciting (and often confusing) ride that is your thirties.

Get It* Inya - Same Day Delivery (Rosa Sottile & Liz Talbot & Friends)

Get It* Inya is Big Fork Theatre's long-running monthly experimental sketch comedy show - and at Sketch Fest 2025, the stakes are high and the turnaround time is tight. This sketch comedy show will be written, workshopped, rehearsed and performed on the same day. Brisbane's most brave, impatient and productive sketch comedians will bring you GI*IY: SAME DAY DELIVERY merely hours after first forming their ideas, guaranteeing:
Raw, fresh concepts
Chaos
Incredibly topical jokes

SKETCH FEST 2025: Matt Funn & Slow Cooked
Matt Funn (Matt Nunn)
Matt Nunn is a huge man with huge ideas. One time he got scammed in Runescape and thought "Oh so that's just how you make money" and he immediately started scamming people. Years later he would say of the incident "oops". Unlike Matt's primary source of gold pieces, this show is not a scam. Matt Funn is a lovingly (and legally) crafted compilation of Matt's favourite sketches from the last 12 months. If you enjoy weird, wit, and whimsy, this is 25 minutes of comedy you cannot miss.
Slow Cooked (Sam Loewenthal & Will Cook)
Slow Cooked is a brand new sketch comedy show featuring Brisbane comedic duo Sam Loewenthal and Will Cook, two twenty something hasbeens who probably should have let their comedy dreams die at uni.
Sam and Will have cooked up a show featuring all sorts of wacky characters, from clueless business consultants, to zany choir conductors and everything in between.
Slow Cooked has the perfect recipe for a night of silly, saucy and spicy fun for everyone - bring your dad, your dog or your doctor for a night of sketch comedy fun!

Exciting things come in petite packages, and these bite-sized sketches will be wasting no time before making way for the next premise. Audiences will be granted short opportunities to catch their breath in between bursts of quickfire comedy that are all killer and no filler.
Produced by prolific sketch-writer Liz Talbot (Brisbane Comedy Festival, Anywhere Festival, ITS Comedy Festival, Bris Funny Fest, Brisbane Fringe) and delivered by a cast of Brisbane’s cheekiest writers showcasing their quickest routes to punchlines, Expresso is a delightful show to kick off Sketch Fest 2025.
The Brotherhood Of The Travelling Clipboard(Drew Buchanan)
When 4 best friends come across a magical clipboard that fits them all despite their various body types, they can’t believe their luck. For their first ever summer apart, they decide to share its magical capabilities as they each embark on a daring new adventure.
Debuting at Big Fork Theatre’s Sketch Fest 2025, ‘The Brotherhood of the Travelling Clipboard’ is a one-man character sketch comedy show about that beautiful time in every man’s life when he must decide between what to let go and, more importantly, what to write down.
