Angella Dravid - Enticingly dark and perfectly strange. As seen on Funny Girls, and winner of Best Newcomer at the 2015 Comedy Guild Awards.



Brendan Kelly - Captivating audiences with his unique mix of heart-felt stories and absurdity. Brendan was a Raw Comedy Quest Finalist in 2014.



Dave McCartney - Self-deprecating but with a contagiously charismatic personality, Dave was a finalist in the 2015 Raw Comedy Quest.



Donna Brookbanks - Irresistibly quirky, Donna’s stand-up is a colourful explosion of curiosity and intrigue. A core member in the improv show Snort.



The Fan Brigade - A musical comedy duo armed with a stringed instrument – and not afraid to use it. As seen on TV3’s AotearoHA and 7 Days.



Frickin Dangerous - Bro NZ’s brownest, funniest and cockiest sketch comedy trio. As seen on TV3’s AotearoHA.



Louise Beuvink - Delightfully dry and with welcomed darkness, Louise was nominated Best Female Comedian in the 2014 Comedy Guild Awards.



Melanie Bracewell - With goofy observations and natural stage charisma, Melanie is a master of anecdotes. She won the 2015 National Raw Comedy Quest.



Scott W Long - An outgoing introvert, Scott’s wit, tomfoolery and honesty will have you in stiches. He was a finalist in the Raw Comedy Quest in 2015.
