A Good Laugh closes its debut season in style at the magnificent Mount Barker Town Hall - a proper Gala night to wrap up a very good May.

The Lineup

🎤 Damian Callinan takes the MC chair for the Gala - and there are few better suited to the job. An acclaimed comedian, actor and writer, Damian is a three-time nominee for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and best known for Skithouse, Backyard Ashes and The Merger - the film adaptation of his award-winning solo show, which took out Best Film and Best Screenplay at the IF Awards and received dual AACTA nominations. His new narrative solo show Spoons opens at Arts Centre Melbourne in March. Prolific, sharp and genuinely one of a kind.

🎤 Nona Mona is a comedian and washed-up burlesque star. We found her under a pile of cats and sequined gowns, looking at old newspaper clippings of herself. She's agreed to do this gig for a jar of Nutella. Charming, charismatic and often full of champagne. RAW Comedy State Finalist, Weekly Fringe Award Winner and five stars from Upside Adelaide - smart, sexy, hilarious.

🎤 Kevin Kropinyeri is one of Australia's most established and popular Aboriginal comedians and a proud man of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. High-energy, sharp, likeable and genuinely silly, Kevin mixes keen observational stand-up with joyfully ridiculous physical comedy, warmly inviting everyone in the room to share his journey, his culture and his life. A Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow regular and a bona fide star of the Australian comedy scene.

🎤 Lori Bell - better known as Granny Flaps - has been making audiences laugh for years with a confident stage presence, a vast repertoire and an infectious enthusiasm that brings the whole room along for the ride. As the Melbourne Herald Sun put it, even prudes will find themselves revelling in this granny's dirty little secrets. She's had decades to perfect the perverse, and it shows.

🎤 And closing the Gala - Alex Ward. A Queensland expat with whip-smart punchlines and a dry yet warm delivery — something she credits to growing up through droughts. A regular panellist on Network Ten's Have You Been Paying Attention?, Alex walks the line between humour and honesty with effortless precision. Her writing credits include The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Big Brother, and Guy Mont-Spelling Bee. Approachable, quick-witted and refreshingly real, the perfect way to close a festival.
