Ivan Aristeguieta
Hola, I am Ivan Aristeguieta, the ‘Maracas from Caracas’, a Venezuelan-born
comedian, or as what Aussies call me – ‘Mexican’. I get it, we all sound the
same.
For 10 years now, I’ve lived in Australia - living amongst you, observing
you, learning about you, and now I make a very good living taking the piss out
of you. I am a true blue, dinky di Venez-stralian. Nah, she’ll be right! (Who
is she by the way?)
I left Venezuelan after I was carjacked at gunpoint (true story!). Thank you
for giving me a citizenship, Australia!

I am also a trained cook, food technologist and brewer. I’m a loud and proud
food nerd. When I’m not performing, I’m probably making my own chorizo at home,
or experimenting switching Vegemite for Miso paste. Don’t tell anybody this,
but I was making bread at home before Covid. During the pandemic I hosted “About
This Much – Live” an online ‘follow-along’ cooking party, where I
bring my kitchen to yours, via Zoom.

Andrew Portelli
Based out of Melbourne, Australia, Andrew combines the learning of an scholar with the wisdom of a child. A teacher, a philosopher and a leader, Andrew prefers to be known simply as a comedian however.
In 2021, I was in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s “Comedy Zone” showcase, which showcases the top up and coming comedians. My debut solo show “Tough Guy” received 4 stars from The Age. And this year? This year I am presenting my second solo show “Hey Great To Catch Up” (tickets at the link).
I mostly post on Instagram so have a look at that.

Lloyd Langford
Langford was born in Baglan, Neath Port Talbot.[3] He studied film and television at the University of Warwick; he chose this because film interested him, he wanted to live somewhere new and did not want to lock himself into a vocation so early on.[5] He was regularly MC at Warwick Comedy's weekly Sunday night stand-up show.
Langford was a regular panellist on Ask Rhod Gilbert and has written additional material for TV shows Live at the Apollo, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and The King is Dead. He has provided audience warm-up on QI[6] and been a contributor on Rhod Gilbert's Work Experience. Langford has appeared as a guest on several comedy and panel shows, including Russell Howard's Good News, The News Quiz, The Now Show, 8 Out of 10 Cats, QI and The Dog Ate My Homework, Have You Been Paying Attention (TV2 New Zealand), and has written for other shows.[7]
In August 2010, Langford made the move to television when the BBC commissioned eight episodes of Ask Rhod Gilbert, following a successful pilot earlier in 2010. The show featured Rhod Gilbert, Greg Davies and Langford answering random trivia questions, such as 'Who would win in a race, Usain Bolt or a grizzly bear?', posed by the public and celebrities, with additional celebrity guests on the panel.[8] The show ran for two series.[9]
Langford had been a guest comedian on The Jon Richardson Show. He co-hosted the radio show Rhod Gilbert's Bulging Barrel of Laughs and played Rhod Gilbert's brother on pilot sitcom Rhod Gilbert's Leaving Llanbobl. He occasionally co-hosts Gilbert's weekly show on BBC Radio Wales. Langford has appeared several times on the BBC Radio comedy panel show The Unbelievable Truth and is a co-writer and performer on the BBC Radio Wales sketch show Here Be Dragons;[10] the show won the 2014 Sony Award - Bronze for Best Comedy.[11] He has written jokes for Gilbert, Frankie Boyle and Simon Amstell.[12]
Langford occasionally tours as part of comedy collective GIT with Dan Atkinson and Jon Richardson;[13] his first solo tour was titled Rare Bit, a reference to his Welsh heritage. He has performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe multiple times.[3]
In October 2012, along with 463 other players, Langford took part in BBC Radio 5 Live's attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the 'most players in a continuous 5 a side exhibition match'. This was for BBC Children in Need, along with former footballer and TV pundit Robbie Savage and BBC Radio 5 Live travel reporter Lindsey Chapman.[14][15]
In the early months of 2019, Langford toured his most recent Edinburgh show, Why the Long Face?, in Australia and New Zealand.

Cameron James
Cameron James is an award winning comedian, actor, writer and podcast guy.
With his laid back demeanour, instinctive improvisation style and seamless crowd work, Cameron has gained a reputation as one of the must-see performers on the comedy circuit today.
When it comes to podcasts, Cameron is best known as the co-host and co-creator of the ABC’s investigative mystery podcast, Finding Drago, with Alexei Toliopoulos. A comedy spin on the true crime genre, Finding Drago was nominated at the 2019 Australian Podcast award for Best TV, Film & Pop Culture Podcast, and has been described by The Australian as “tremendously bonkers” and by The AV Club as “brilliantly silly”. It’s found Cameron a cult fanbase in the UK, the US and even Sweden and South America.
You can also hear Cameron and Alexei on their weekly film podcast Total Reboot, or tune into Cameron and comedian Becky Lucas for their iTunes chart-topping podcast series, The Becky and Cam Hotline.
Cameron’s comedy career began when he was named national runner-up at the 2012 Triple J Raw Comedy Competition held at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Since then, he has toured many times across the Australian comedy festival circuit and even featured as a writer and performer with SBS’s The Feed and ABC’s Win the Week and Gruen.
In 2022, Cameron embarked on a national tour with his hilarious show, Electric Dreams. It tells the story of Cameron’s teenage years when he dreamt of becoming a famous rockstar and features performances of the cringe-inducing songs he wrote growing up in his family home.
The hysterically awkward show filled with “sweaty waves of noughties nostalgia”, was met with critical acclaim and saw Cameron take home the 2022 Sydney Comedy Festival’s Directors Choice Award and receive a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at the prestigious Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Currently, Cameron and Alexei are working with Screen Australia and the Aunty Donna team at Haven’t You Done Well Productions, to create the third instalment of the Finding series. Finding Yeezus will be released on YouTube channel, Grouse House, in late 2022.

Ty Gray
Ty quit his full-time role as a teacher to make comedy 'happen'. Now, after returning home after midnight from gigs each night, he has to turn up to a new school each day and face a new group of kids ready to tear him down every chance they get.
After starting comedy in Melbourne, Ty moved to Darwin in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic to escape lockdown. There, he made an immediate impression on the Darwin comedy scene, hosting and headlining gigs around town and touring his debut solo show Those Who Can't Do to Adelaide Fringe Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Darwin Fringe Festival and Perth FRINGE WORLD, all while juggling his role as a full-time teacher. Now, he's moving teaching to the side and putting comedy to the front, but to support himself he still has to be a Relief Teacher.
