It’s an incredible afternoon of quick wit\, master storytelling\, and side-splitting stand-up—the ultimate way to wrap up your weekend! R ichard Stubbs Richard Stubbs has spent more than four decades making Austr alian audiences laugh\, and he remains one of the country's most accomplis hed live comedians. Richard Stubbs began performing stand-up at Melbourne' s legendary Last Laugh in 1983. His intelligent\, anecdotal style quickly established him as a distinctive comic voice\, taking him from comedy room s around Australia to stages in Montreal\, Los Angeles\, London and New Yo rk. I n 2026\, Richard returned to the Melbourne International Comedy Fest ival for a sold-out season\, demonstrating that his connection with live a udiences remains as strong as ever. He is still very much a working comedi an: performing regularly\, writing new material and bringing the timing\, storytelling and crowd instincts of a seasoned stand-up to every room. His comedy finds the absurdity in relationships\, family\, ageing and everyda y life\, delivered with warmth\, intelligence and a wonderfully dry edge. Alongside stand-up\, Richard became one of Melbourne's best-known radio pe rsonalities through his years at Triple M and ABC Radio Melbourne. But liv e performance has always remained at the heart of his career. Forty-plus y ears on stage haven't slowed Richard Stubbs down - they've made him better . Chris Franklin Chris Franklin is the kind of comic who doesn’t need a spotlight to stand out\, he just walks on stage\, opens his mouth\, and th e crowd knows they’re in for something uniquely Australian. With a laid- back style and razor-sharp wit\, he’s built a career out of saying what everyone’s thinking\,but funnier. He first burst onto the scene with a p arody that turned a pop hit into a cheeky anthem for the everyday Aussie b loke. The song became a cultural phenomenon\, earning massive airplay and cementing his reputation as a clever lyricist with a brilliant sense of hu mour. Since then\, Chris has continued to mix music and comedy with a dist inctive voice that captures the spirit of the suburbs\, the pub\, and the footy field. But his talents go far beyond parody. Chris has a natural gif t for connecting with audiences. Whether he's in a packed theatre or a cou ntry town club\, his material always feels personal\, relatable\, and unap ologetically real. He champions the underdog\, celebrates the ridiculous\, and finds the funny in life’s simple moments. With years of touring und er his belt\, a comedy album in the bag\, and countless laughs shared acro ss the country\, Chris Franklin remains a staple of the Australian comedy scene. He’s not trying to be fancy or polished—he’s just being himse lf. And that’s exactly why people love him.
