  • Summary

  • This series contains coarse language and adult themes.

    At a time when live comedy has never been harder to find you've come to absolutely the right place. Audible Presents: Australia's Funniest Stand-Up features six of our most awarded and best-loved Australian comedians doing what they do best, making people laugh in their own, unique ways. Originally recorded live at the Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne, the stand-up specials are also available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

    This is an Audible Original Podcast. You can download all 6 episodes to your Library now:

    Celia Pacquola: All Talk

    A true Australian comedy luminary, Celia Pacquola is sharp, frank and smart as hell, a multiple award-winning writer-performer. The stand-up stage is where the journey began for Celia and it's where she happily returns in the triumphant All Talk.

    Judith Lucy: Judith Lucy vs Men

    Single again, Judith concludes that maybe it's time to shut up shop. "Whatever it is that I'm selling, a lot of straight men simply aren't interested in buying it." In this show Jude recounts her history with the opposite sex and asks the audience: Should she hang up her vagina for good?

    Tom Gleeson: Joy

    2019 Gold Logie winner. Chief celebrity interrogator. Host of the highest-rating quiz show on TV. There's not much Tom Gleeson hasn't been up to lately. One of the sharpest minds in Australian comedy, his shows are relentlessly hilarious. Experience him live on stage, in his natural habitat and in the form of his life. Taste the JOY.

    Anne Edmonds: What's Wrong With You?

    Welcome to the debut special of Australian's newest comedy rock star. Anne Edmonds is an unparalleled observer of the simmering tensions of everyday suburban life. In just one hour, she's going to tell you what's wrong with you and everyone else.

    "The best comedian in Australia" (Herald Sun)

    Dilruk Jayasinha: Bundle Of Joy

    Sri Lankan-born Dilruk Jayasinha is one of the most in-demand headliners on the Australian scene. His small-screen star continues to soar thanks to his appearances in Utopia and Have You Been Paying Attention? but it is on stage that the full breadth of his talent is most obvious. A positive, upbeat stand-up, he'll leave you feeling better about yourself and the world.

    Tommy Little: Self-Diagnosed Genius

    Idiot or genius? Sometimes the line between the two is very thin, as the irrepressible Tommy Little shows in this raucous hour of stand-up. Would an idiot sign up to run an Antarctic marathon with no previous experience or training? Find out in this incredible tale of one man against the odds.

A great laugh

Six great stand up comedians. Just what I needed at this time.
Some of the issues discussed are quite confronting. Don't listen if you are into political correctness. Whether the comedians crossed the line is up to you to decide. I enjoyed it.

Hilarious Series

The audio mixing is great, the sound of the crowd doesn't drown out the comic like some other audiobooks/podcasts. Fun lineup!

Funny, confronting, and sometimes brutal

Stand outs for me were Celia and Judith. This type of humanistic humor appeals to me. Judith had me in fits of laughter at times, and dropped a teary or 2 at others.

Brave and confronting stories, but bloody funny !
