Award-winning Kiwi comedian, podcaster and improviser Guy Montgomery brings his new stand-up show I’ve Noticed So Many Things, It’d Be Unfair To Keep Them To Myself to Australia in 2025.

Montgomery said, “People often wonder what I get up to when I’m not relaying my observations about the world to them and I’m finally ready to talk. The truth is whenever I’m not relaying my observations, I am out in the community, harvesting a fresh crop of bespoke observations. That’s what this show is about.”

The shows follow Montgomery’s sold out 2024 tour Over 50,000,000 Guy Fans Can’t Be Wrong that saw him perform in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. In addition this year, Montgomery’s growing popularity in Australia led to him hosting the Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and saw his TV series Guy Montgomery’s Mont-Spelling Bee premiere on ABC TV.

Join Guy for a chance to think “I’ve also noticed that” or “I had not noticed that but now I think about it, that is a bit what it is like.”

A three-time nominee for Most Outstanding Show of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and well as a one-time Pinder’s Prize Winner, Damien Power is widely regarded as the most talented comedians on the Australian circuit.

Hosted by Nona Mona and supported by some of the funniest comedians in Adelaide. Vida is previewing the show she is taking to Edinburgh.

How do you measure wealth? A mansion? A European ski holiday? For me, it was always the size of the Nutella jar. Tiny jar? Struggle town. Family-size tub? You can retire.

As a kid, we couldn’t afford Nutella. We had “chocolate spread,” which was just sadness in a jar. I’ve got teenagers of my own now, and I can afford to buy them the big Nutella. But times have changed, and they don’t want it. They prefer skincare and an iPhone instead.

The Nutella Wars is my third solo show It’s about Nutella, but also about growing up in war (hilarious, I promise!) migrating to Australia, raising teenagers and thinking you’ve found ice cream in the freezer just to find it’s leftover lentils. There’s also a 1976 Holden Kingswood named Bertha. She’s the emotional support vehicle.

The Nutella Wars is on for one night only at the Rhino Room before I drag it all the way to the Edinburgh Fringe, where ticket prices are higher and I’ll be performing next to a man playing a flute through his nose. Please come. Bring a friend. Don’t forget your spoon.

Australia’s reigning champion of cheerful comedy, Kirsty Webeck, is heading back to Adelaide to share everything she needs to say about sea creatures.

“I love sea creatures; I learn a lot about them (sometimes organically but often because of some aggressive googling) and I want to let you know about them. Octopuses are out there punching fish for fun and using tools. They’re coming for our jobs, next. This is the awareness raising show the world needs this year.” — Kirsty Webeck

A regular panellist on The ABC’s Question Everything and a favourite in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Galas, Kirsty heads back to Adelaide after a massive 2024 tour which ended with the release of her second standup special on YouTube.

But if you like the mental state of laughing, you won’t miss his show 2 Truths, 1 Lie & 17 Slight Exaggerations touring Australia and New Zealand in 2025.

In 2024, Tom successfully toured his new show, Everything to sold-out audiences throughout Australia and Edinburgh and his debut comedy special, PESTS, premiered on YouTube.
