Since beginning stand-up in 2017, he has written and toured a new full-length show every year, with highlights including Don't Call Me a Wog! (2022), Heart of Darkness (2023), and the critically acclaimed Pappou (2024–25). Pappou toured twice around Australia and internationally to London, New Zealand, Canada, and New York, before being filmed at a sold-out Enmore Theatre and released on YouTube in 2025. His debut special Confirmation (2020) was distributed worldwide by Comedy Dynamics on Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

Self-managed from the start of his career, Anthony has built a loyal following online and on stage, working across comedy clubs, community festivals, corporate events, and screen projects for brands such as Nando's, NexGard, and Pedestrian TV. His mission is to challenge clichés around "wog comedy," representing his Greek and Italian heritage with a modern, nuanced voice that resonates far beyond those communities. Divine Comedy is now out! Blurb below: World Tour. Sold-out Enmore Theatre. Dream wedding on the horizon. 2025 was set to be the best year of Anthony's life - then everything fell apart. With his heart in ruins, desperation (and destiny) pushed him into a Vipassana meditation retreat. The Divine Comedy is the story of ten gruelling days of silence, where Anthony journeyed to the depth of his mind and battled the hive of evil clowns behind his lifelong misery, and somehow returned with his soul intact. We chat about acting, 10 day silent retreats, radical honesty and accountability, love of musicals, integrity, pain, misery, honesty and suffering, acceptance, big mindset and mental shifts, love of musicals  + more!

Fabiola Valtolina esordisce sui palchi del Sydney Comedy Festival con il suo spettacolo "Emotionally Intense".

This episode was recorded live at SXSW 2024 - and it might be a very different example of what a politician sounds like from what you've been hearing recently. Here, Allegra not only reveals to Osher and an eager crowd the realities of political life in Canberra, the best and worst things about the job and why some other politicians are focused on the wrong things, but also the importance of empathy, having hard conversations, how she personally stays mentally strong and how we can focus more on people to find solutions.

Andrew Hamilton is a stand up comedian, author and podcast host. In 2021, Andrew spent four months in two of Sydney's maximum-security prisons for the commercial supply of psychedelic drugs. While incarcerated, Andrew began noticing the transportive power of laughter. After all, if a joke can make you forget you're in prison, what else can it do? Upon his release, Andrew took up stand-up comedy, initially under strict bail conditions where his parents had to come with him to shows, and he had to be home in time for curfew. Since then, Andrew has become a regular in Sydney comedy clubs, recently completing sold out shows at Sydney Comedy Festival, and Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Andrew's critically acclaimed debut solo show, “Jokes About the Time I Went to Prison”, earned him a nomination for Best Newcomer in Melbourne. He is also a co-host of the popular podcast ‘Flog Cabin' and author of ‘The Profound benefits of a stint in prison'. His new comedy channel, the OG crew is now out. The Profound Benefits of a Stint in Prison is a sometimes confronting, more often hilarious insider's view to life inside. Andrew left prison a changed man, determined to turn his life around. This is the story of what happens when max denial collides with the reality of max security. We chat about being a drug kingpin, change, lessons from prison and making profound change, his many new comedy ventures and love for comedy, moving forward and resilience, how comedy was the answer, Yeah nah, his passion for pizzas and his new book.   The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!

Hosts Colton Dowling and Dylan Carlino bring Jamie Kilstein into the fold to come full frontal into the history of Hawaii and other things in history Dylan has never heard about. Jamie Kilstein is a comedian, podcaster, and writer, who lives in Austin, TX with the rest of the comedian podcasters.Jamie has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience three times. Two of them were good and the other we don't talk about anymore. He has also performed standup on Conan, Showtime, the BBC, and more.He was fortunate enough to be mentored by Robin Williams. In 2009, Williams listed Jamie and Joan Rivers as his all-time favorite comedians.Robin said, "Jamie Kilstein is amazing, and I will be spreading the word. He has the spark that energized my conscience. We need more comedians kicking it like he does every night."Jamie got his start opening for comedic greats such as Marc Maron and Doug Stanhope after dropping out of high school, illegally squatting in NYC, and living out of his car playing coffee houses around the country for two years. Nobody approved of this very bad plan but it made Jamie funny, as most trauma does! Speaking of trauma, Jamie has also publicly talked about depression, anxiety, suicide attempts, rock bottoms, affairs, divorce, and soft cancelations.After being discovered by Paul Provenza (The Green Room and The Aristocrats), Jamie was quickly flying around the world performing at world-famous comedy and arts festivals, including: the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Melbourne Comedy Festival, the Sydney Comedy Festival, Bumbershoot in Seattle, Lowlands Music Festival in Amsterdam, and Latitude in London. He's done standup in Hong Kong and Beijing, and co-headlined with Reggie Watts at the Sydney Opera House and Lakeshore Theater in Chicago.He was the first comedian to appear on Montreal's Just For Laughs prestigious New Faces in 2007 and returned the next year with his own solo show alongside Bill Burr and Patrice O'Neal. He has opened for Bad Religion, Talib Kweli, and Sarah Silverman. He has also sat on MSNBC panels with Pulitzer Prize Nominees and has become a frequent guest on the show of his former enemy, Glenn Beck,Interview Magazine listed him as a comic to watch alongside Aubrey Plaza, Kristen Schall, and Reggie Watts. He was Punchline Magazine's “One Comic to Watch in 2009,″ as well as a Timeout Chicago, Sydney, and London's Critics Pick.In 2022, Jamie performed at The Beacon Theater in NYC, somehow got a Times Square Billboard, headlined clubs around the country, and was featured on Dr. Drew's and Adam Carolla's shows.Jamie's goal is to show that through humor we can always find stuff to laugh at, even if we vote differently. He is determined to use all of the mistakes he made to help people come together, laugh, grow, and love each other more."Watching Jamie reminds me of why I got into comedy. It's like watching a combination of George Carlin and Bill Hicks." - Janeane Garofalo"Hilarious and scathing." - Rolling Stone★ ★ ★ ★★ "Kilstein is to me eerily reminiscent of Bill Hicks and not in the sense of an astute impersonation but as if we were witness to some sort of Second Coming. Eloquent intelligence, razor-sharp wit, and unconventionally convincing arguments. Kilstein is a special talent.” - Broadway Baby★ ★ ★ ★ "This is beautifully, intelligently crafted stuff. Kilstein is possibly the most impressive writer/performer I have seen–his set is so well written it could have a life apart from him and still be brilliant. Performed by him gives it an assed oomph, but I have not been so aware of the writing quality of a comedy set this year." - Kate Copstick, The Scotsman★ ★ ★ ★★ "Kilstein's savage intelligence and razor-sharp wit will make you think as much as laugh … damned funny.”  - Andrew P Street, Time Out SydneyJamie Kilstein is a comedian, podcaster, and writer, who lives in Austin, TX with the rest of the comedian podcasters.
