| Andrew Barnett – Barney
Andrew “Barney” Barnett returns to the Sydney Comedy Festival with his
best show yet. Known to the audiences of Fox Sports and Kayo for his
work on Fox League (The Professors Late Hit, Sunday Night with Matty
Johns), Fox Cricket (The Night Watchmen) and The Back Page, Andrew is
also an award winning stand up comedian and a “passable” husband and
father.
In his latest show, Andrew tackles all (some) of the
issues both big and small (mostly small). From navigating an expanding
generation gap, to modern romance and the tedium of homeschooling an 11
year old in “unprecedented times”, Andrew finds the funny in all of it.

unbelievable findings with you all.

| | | | Akmal - The Best Of Akmal
Akmal returns to Sydney by popular demand. Although we’re not sure
who made these demands and how popular they were. Akmal is one of the
funniest comedians in the world. The fact that he has written this blurb
does not take away from his genius. He will be doing a best of show, bringing comedic gold selected from
the previous 25 years. Some people have suggested that he’s doing this
because he is lazy and could not be bothered writing a new show. These
people are ignorant and most likely lesser comedians who are jealous of
his talent and good looks. Happy ending guaranteed (for an extra twenty
bucks).

You’ve seen him on T.V, you’ve seen him Online, you may have even seen him down the pub – but have you seen Jimeoin LIVE?
Jimeoin
LIVE is unlike anything you’ve ever seen. A ferocious onslaught of gags
and a constant stream of laughter, all with inimitable facial
expressions (and yes, those world famous eyebrows) – it’s the ultimate
comedy show.

| | | Jacques Barrett – You Woke The Bear!
Hello, I’m Jacques Barrett: Actress, Writerer and 14 yr veteran of the
world comedy circuit. I am cordially inviting you to an hour of peace
talks between the following warring parties: the “Woke” and the
“Asleep”.… It will be a casual dialogue, a friendly negotiation, a fun
little round table discussion where I will be the only one talking.
Everywhere
you look, it’s The Left vs Right, Millennials vs Boomers, The
Toodlepips V The Buzzqweefs. All these groups at each other’s throats,
everyone yelling and no one listening! It’s such a crapshoot out there…
but perhaps I can help.

| | | Ross Noble – On The Go
Science has proved laughter can induce a Zen-like state similar to meditation but can contemplation, reflection and self-discovery be achieved by thinking every and all the thoughts at once. Nobody knows or cares but let’s hope so because Ross is always on the go and will be
smashing ideas together in the pursuit of fun. When it happens you can be there. WARNING: Ross is not a scientist.

| | Lovely By Sophia Morrison
We all have parts of ourselves we don’t like to think about. For some
it’s poor time management, horrendous haircuts or terribly bad breath.
For Sophia Morrison, it’s her dyslexia (also her extremely long nose
hair). Sophia Morrison re-envisions her 2021 solo show, Lovely. The
show takes us on an absurdist journey through her experience with the
learning disorder. Performing an ensemble of silly characters, Sophia
travels through time and place as she tries to find a Sophia-shaped hole
for herself in a world not built for a dyslexic mind.
