HARLEY BREEN

Harley is one of the most commanding comedy performers touring the country today. Harley was blessed by the comedy gods with the mind of a confused nice kid who voluntarily helps senior citzens, but the physical appearance of a hells angels bikie. Harley is one of the most forceful comedy figureson the club and festival circuit but has more than enough grace to headline our small candle lit room by the fireplace.

ADAM RICHARD - MC

He began his gossip queen career as Triple J’s Mister Bitch and has spent the last six years as The Fabulous Adam Richard, part of Melbourne’s Number 1 FM breakfast team, the Matt and Jo Show on 101.9 Fox FM. Adam has appeared as a guest on such embarrassing ventures as Celebrity Dog School, Hole in the Wall, and The Footy Show. He has also appeared in more classy fare, like Sleuth 101, Rove and Spicks and Specks. We’re thrilled to be graced by fabulous Adam Richard as our host this Sunday.

MATT KENNEALLY - SUPPORT

Matt Kenneally is far and away Melbourne’s funniest political comedian. Kenneally’s skill is in his ability to present insightful, hilarious commentary from a point of view that you hadn’t even realised was available until he told you.
