Who are you most looking forward to seeing?
CAL WILSON: Claire Hooper, All The Rage
Great Australian Bake-Off host Claire Hooper.
Photo: James Penlidis"Claire's talking about anger, which I love, because she is such a warm, lovely, beautiful radiating presence, then she gets f---ed off!! She's doing a whole hour on being angry and it's so funny."
ZOE COOMBS MARR: Helen Bidou, Enter The Spinnaker Lounge
"From all reports, that's going to be bonkers."
STEPH TISDELL: Kaitlyn Rogers, Can I Get An Amen?
"Absurdist, quirky, silly comedy with a message that is really subtle and powerful. Really, really good."
VICTORIA FALCONER-PRITCHARD: Natalie Palamides, Laid
"She's a physical comedian from LA exploring the absurd in birth, death and motherhood – she won the Best Newcomer in Edinburgh last year."
GERALDINE HICKEY: Betty Grumble, Love and Anger
"I once saw Betty lather herself in soap and use the bar like a slip-n-slide in a Sydney nightclub. She's in your face and terrifying and I love her."
