Michael Hing
REAL HUMAN MANA brand-new hour of jokes and stories from a man who has spent a lot of his life having to convince people he's not a robot. He's also a new father, but as you'd expect, that barely gets a mention. As heard on triple j and Double J and seen on channel ten's The Project (which he wants to be very clear he left before it was cancelled). Also, by the time this show happens Hing should have had laser surgery on his eyes, so if you come and he's wearing glasses things have not gone to plan.“Endlessly funny.” ★★★★½ The Sydney Morning Herald

DUSTY RICH
Oh! I SEE NOWDusty Rich was the golden god of chaos. Destined for the stratosphere. Instead, he’s a domestic hostage. A white-hot beast, caged by the suburbs. The microphone is gone. Swapped for nappy cream. He doesn't do comedy. He is comedy. But nobody cares. The headliner is a blue cartoon dog. The manager is Mrs. Rachel. Dusty is just the opening act in his own living room. An extra in the movie of his life. Dreams? Gone. Needs? Irrelevant. The beast is quelled. The diaper is full. The tragedy is hilarious. The world makes sense until it doesn’t. You’re young. You’re fast. Then you’re 41. The speed is still there, but the destination has changed. Dusty Rich is a frantic, chaotic anomaly. For one hour, he’s tearing down the philosophy of the last four decades, destined for the greatest comedy stages and heights the universe had to offer, he is a stay at home Dad now. Every thought you’ve had? Challenged. Every stance you’ve taken? Crushed. It’s loose. It’s loud. It’s the sound of a mid-life crisis hitting the speed of sound. Come watch the collision.
