A great night of stand up comedy featuring some of the best acts going around Melbourne happening every last Tuesday of the month at the iconic Bar 303 in Northcote!

This month’s lineup features four brilliant comedians who are sure to leave you in stitches:

Andrew Portelli

Originally from Spearwood, WA, Andrew is now a Melbourne-based comedian and writer. He was selected for the prestigious Comedy Zone at MICF 2020, and The Age gave his debut solo show ‘Tough Guy’ 5 starts. In 2025, he's touring his new show ‘The Natural’ across Australia. You've seen him at clubs and festivals across Australia and NZ — and heard him on your favourite comedy podcasts.

'Portelli is witty, self-deprecating, and effortlessly funny - a rising star of Australian comedy.'

Laura Bruce

Originally from Canada and now calling New Zealand home, Laura was named ‘South Island Newcomer of the Year’ in 2020 and was a Wellington Raw Comedy Quest Finalist. Her witty, observational style dissects relationships, culture, and language with surgical precision. Her solo show ‘How to Cook a Kiwi’ earned rave reviews across NZ and Australia.

“Clean, sharp, and highly entertaining comedy.” — Theatreview NZ

Mathew Hespe

Mathew Hespe was a ‘Raw Comedy National Finalist’ in 2021 and is a master of understatement. His minimalist, absurdist style has earned cult status — and his performance of ‘School of Rock’ in Year 6 is still talked about today.

“After a couple more years of experience he’ll be a force to be reckon with.” — Funny Tonne

Jaxson Garni

Comedian, actor, drag artist and serial key-loser, Jaxson is a natural storyteller with a magnetic stage presence. A graduate of The Space Dance & Arts Centre, Jaxson blends heart, humour, and flair in every performance.

“Jaxson has an easy manner and is a storyteller.” — Weekend Notes
