5 Good Reasons to See Sean Murphy – Kids’ Party Confidential

1) It’s the best party at the festival. Full stop.

2) The show is incredible value: you’re entertained by Sean AND his inspirational alter-ego.

3) The kidless laugh thinking it’s fiction, parents cry knowing it’s true and everyone conquers their fears.

4) You learn DOs and DON’Ts that could save your life (at a kids’ party).

5) It sold out at the Sydney Fringe festival because, let’s be honest: if you’re not into tying your own balloon sword, you’re probs just dead, yeah?

Sean Murphy is performing Kids’ Party Confidential at the Clean Comedy Hub in Carlton and Bluestone Arts Space in Footscray. Suitable for ages 10+.

5 Good Reasons to see Joshua Glanc’s 99 Schnitzels (Veal Ain’t One)

1. The show features my (recently deceased) pet cat preserved by a taxidermist

2. Characters. Characters. Characters

3. There’s music and singing and dancing, and who doesn’t like a shitload of that?

4. It’s silly, ridiculous, “what-is-he-even-doing”, “why-am-I-even-watching this”, “why-am-I-even-here”, “who-am-I?” fun.

5. No really, this show is really fun.

5 good Reasons To See Dave Eastgate in I Wish I Had a Band

1. Cause I’m in it and I’m famous… On facebook.

2. Cause the show got 4 star reviews in Edinburgh and 4.5 stars in Adelaide, so at that rate it would appear that you’re about to see a 5 star show.

3. Cause I rock SO fuckin hard! I will tear that place apart! I’ve got mad ninja skills when it comes to shredding (acoustic rhythm guitar) and also for turbo-charged-power-metal-rock-kicks! Seriously, ever seen a reverse-double-fly-kick done without looking? Come and see my show!

4. Cause I play an acoustic Flying V! The rarest guitar known to man. Enough said.

5. This is my 18th year in comedy and my first at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, I’m like a giant sling shot that is about to snap and launch my good times into your beautiful face, Melbz! I promise it’s gonna be epic and you don’t wanna miss it! Be there so you can tell your grandkids you were there!

I Wish I Had a Band is on at Trades Hall. For more information and bookings visit the website:

5 good Reasons To See Jesse Carroll in 9 Lives

1. It was written by Jesse Carroll and features stories from his very unusual life growing up in Canada. From being wrongfully placed into a mental institute at the age of 9, becoming a juvenile delinquent and breaking into houses by 12, volcano boarding in Nicaragua, managing the most notorious strip club in North America, having a hit put on him by the mafia to the insane parties in the Aussie run Canadian ski/party town of Whistler BC… This will be one of the most unique and high energy shows of the fest.

2. A dark humour delight.. If you laugh in the theatre during horror movies than this is for you!

3. It’s part of a very ambitious and elaborate master plan to remove Tony Abbot from office.

4. My opening act, Jimmy Mitchell, moonlights as a male stripper.. THAT IS NOT A JOKE! A MALE STRIPPER! And if you pay him he will get naked for you.. and he’s very cheap.

5. It’s in an intimate tequila bar… And we’re all doing shots after the show! Come be apart of the carnage!

9 Lives is on at Amigios. For more information and bookings visit the website:

5 good reasons to see Tim Driver in Where Did This Bruise Come From?

1. Tim is darned attractive, and it won’t be painful to look at him for 45 mins.

2. Tim is barely famous, so if you’re a hipster, you’ll be seeing him WELL before it’s cool.

3. Tim’s first solo MICF show got a four star review, and the reviewer seemed to want to marry him.

4. Tickets are pretty cheap, so if you’re cheap like Tim, then it’s essentially a match made in heaven.

5. Where Did This Bruise Come From is awkward over-shared comedy at possibly it’s finest*

*In Tim’s own opinion.

Where Did This Bruise Come From? is on at Highlander Bar. For more information and bookings visit the website:

5 good Reasons To See Dave Thornton in Spit & Polish

1. there will be no added flavours or preservatives.

2. the entire show is in 3D.

3. ad breaks will be minimal.

4. no animals were harmed in the making of the shows jokes (although a cockroach was flattened with a Haviana thong when it ran across my keyboard. That incident was responsible for writing the joke ‘^%fhgthr’).

5. We’ll have fun.
