Myra DuBois, the self-declared siren from South Yorkshire, has been described as a “most gloriously monstrous and beloved creations on the UK comedy circuit.”

Famed for her withering wit, brutal honesty and cult following, DuBois is an act not to be missed.

Irish comedians Enya Martin, Mike Rice, and Alison Spittle make their Australian debuts. One of comedy’s fastest-rising stars, Rice recently completed his first full tour of the UK and Ireland.

Spittle arrives fresh from her award-winning, sell-out hit at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, while viral sensation Martin has sold out theatres across Ireland and the UK with her fiercely relatable material.

Alison Spittle
