Can you give us a tweet-length summary of your show? Five of Sydney’s best new comedians battle for comedic supremacy, by the end only one will leave alive! The rest will probs leave earlier…

How do you unwind after a show? Depends on where I am on the run sheet – either watch the other comedians or listen back to my set and take notes on the way home.

Do you have any topics you avoid making jokes about? As a white, middle-class man I feel like there’s no shortage of other white, middle-class men in Australia who are keen to give you their two cents, so I try to stick to personal experience. That said, I don’t do sexist, racist, or homophobic material – punch up, not down.

Is there anyone else in the festival you’re hanging out to see? Cyrus Bezyan, Michael Hing, Steen Raskopoulos – I went to uni with these guys and they’re all inspirations. Penny Greenhalgh, Michael Workman, Ray Badran, Rhys Nicholson, Matt Okine. So many!
