Warehouse Comedy Festival

Hannah Gadsby features in the first of the best and brightest of the comedy festival stand-ups on the circuit. She is one of the sharpest and funniest of Australian comedians who pour blood, sweat and tears into the circuit every year, then have their shows disappear at the end of the season.

Tom Gleeson features in the second part of the best and brightest of the comedy festival stand-ups on the circuit, filmed at the Warehouse Festival's sawtooth warehouse venue.

Hilarious personal storytelling from comedian Tom Ballard at the Melbourne sawtooth warehouse venue that housed the Warehouse Comedy Festival. Ballard is one of the festival's brightest acts. He is gay, from Warrnambool and his gig is a candid account of coming to terms with his private bits.

Sammy J's earned his gig among the cream of Australian stand-ups winning the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Best Newcomer award. His '58kg of pure entertainment' set in the Warehouse Comedy format is a piano-based mix of popular songs and some new surprises, a testimony to his reputation for being one of the most exciting and inventive comedians on the circuit.

Taken from comic legend Denise Scott's highly-acclaimed memoir, Number 26, this is the stage version of her hilarious tales of moving into her first house with her husband, John, his circus equipment, a king-sized futon sans base, a ventolin inhaler, no savings and a new baby. After two years' hard slog writing, Denise says she was buggered if all she ended up with was a book. So the stories move to a live venue where she tells them as part of the warehouse of brilliant comedy, coming from the cream of the stand-ups at last year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Dave Thornton has been described as one of the hottest rising stars of Australian comedy, hence his inclusion in the Warehouse series, showcasing the best and brightest of the Melbourne International Comedy event.
