Comedy News - More stars and more laughs for the 2025 comedy festival season as Live Nation & Jubilee Street Management announce more shows
/ Megan MossPresented by: Live Nation & Jubilee Street Management
Live Nation and Jubilee Street Management have added to their already impressive line-up for the 2025 comedy festival season even more outstanding comics from Australia and New Zealand.
Recently announced comics with tickets on sale now include shows from Nazeem Hussain, Ray O’Leary, Melanie Bracewell, Chris Parker, Guy Williams, Bron Lewis, Cameron James and Becky Lucas. Joining the line-up are the equally impressive and hilarious, Anisa Nandaula, Joel Creasey, Hayley Sproull, Paul Williams, Tom Cashman, Wilson Dixon, Paul Taylor and Josh Berry. Adding to the laugh-fest are the recently announced tours for Urzila Carlson and Guy Montgomery now on sale.
Anisa Nandaula hilariously navigates the complexities of being a black girl in Australia intertwining her experiences with relationships to her new home, Uganda, and the people she loves in You Can’t Say That. Joel Creasey, co-host of Australia’s number one national drive show, Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel will present his 15th solo show. Thanks For Being Here presents an hour of Joel’s signature delivered with his trademark sass. Winner of Taskmaster NZ and nominated Best Show at the 2024 NZ Comedy Festival, Hayley Sproull will present Wild Flutters a show guaranteed to get the audience quite hot and a little bit bothered. New Zealand’s affably hilarious Paul Williams (Taskmaster New Zealand) will present Don’t Look At Me, a show he optimistically assures will be fantastic, to say the least. Tom Cashman presents 2 Truths, 1 Lie & 17 Slight Exaggerations, in a new hour of stand-up that may or may not include the secret to happiness. Cripple Creek’s greatest country music singer Wilson Dixon will present a brand-new show, with brand new songs about his not-brand-new extended family with Love Don’t Live Here Anymore, You Do. After 3 sell-out bilingual world tours, Paul Taylor will share his story of being a British expat in France, presented 100% in English, audiences will need to hold on to their berets in F*** Me I’m French. Last but not least, Josh Berry having recently entered a half marathon (for more material we are sure) will present Best Man, a standup show about modern masculinity inspired by his experience of being the best man for his best friend earlier this year.
