Grace Jarvis

Her style has been described as "hilarious, stinging and outrageously dark." She has written and performed three much-acclaimed hours of stand-up comedy at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and made her Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2023 with This is the Last Goldfish That I Am Going to Eat for You (directed by Laura Davis). She has appeared on Australian stages and television including Comedy Up Late, The Upfront Gala & the Woodford Folk Festival's comedy programme. In 2024 she provided UK tour support for Josh Thomas (Please Like Me, Everything's Gonna Be Okay). Grace’s life experiences as a queer, autistic Gen Z woman raised by veterans have had a significant influence on her comedy style and she's excited to perform for Queensland audiences and behold a variety of iconic Large Objects.

Kate Dolan

Originally from the UK, Kate first gained recognition in 2019 as a regional finalist in the prestigious Funny Women UK competition. She has become a prominent figure in the comedy circuit, earning accolades such as the Emerging Artist Award Winner at the 2024 Adelaide Fringe Festival and featuring in the Metro (UK) as a comedian to remember from the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe. Her unique, high energy style and boundary-pushing comedy were highlighted in The New York Times: Australia’s feature, The Women Changing the Local Comedy Scene.

Leon Filewood brings a fresh and dynamic perspective to the comedy stage, blending sharp wit with compelling storytelling. With a previous career in law, his unique professional background adds depth to his observational humour and social commentary. Winner of the 2018 Melbourne International Comedy Festival's National Deadly Funny Competition, Filewood has since performed at premium comedy clubs and festivals across Australia. His style connects with diverse audiences through relatable experiences and clever insights into contemporary life. His performances demonstrate his natural ability to find humour in everyday situations while tackling larger themes with both levity and insight. As he continues to build momentum in the comedy circuit, Filewood's engaging presence and intelligent humour mark him as a distinctive voice in Australian stand-up.

He has sold out shows at festivals all over the country, as well as at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Wellington Fringe, and has headlined shows in London, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Singapore & Kuala Lumpur. He co-hosts Breakfast on triple j alongside Concetta Caristo & has been seen & heard on Channel 9, ABC TV, SBS, the BBC & more. The Age once described him as “quality… like jazz” and Chortle said he is “charming, easy-going company, marking him out as a comic on the rise” which is very nice of them.
