With Matty B Moulded from the school of hard knocks (that is the Newcastle comedy scene.) Matty’s dry, likable, country charm is raging up the Australian comedy ranks as a force to be reckoned with.
‘Brilliantly rambling.’ – Timeout Sydney
And Dave Smiedt– Described by Adam Hills, host of “Spicks and Specks” as “a living breathing joke machine”. David is the author of six humorous books and writes for a wide range of magazines. In fact, he is the only journalist in Australian publishing history to be in concurrent issues of lads-mag Ralph and Your Garden. Topical, charming and equally comfortable in all mediums, David’s comedy will entertain and uplift. If you dont believe us, listen to what these people have to say…..
