After more than a decade away from solo performance, beloved Australian comedian Denise Scott is making a triumphant return to the stage with her most personal show yet.

Famous for her razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Scotty promises audiences a show unlike anything she’s delivered before. So much has happened recently, so boy does she have a lot to tell you.

It’s no secret that the last three years has involved one hell of a time for Denise: “It’s a very powerful thing that’s happened in that it feels like anything I’ve talked about on stage, before cancer, is now pretty irrelevant”.

Tickety Boo promises to be Scotty at her authentic best, blending her trademark observational comedy with reflections on sanity, resilience, and the truly unexpected places where laughter can be found. In a cancer ward for one, who knew? Also, why is she feeling so goddamn positive all the time?

Lizzy Hoo

4 – 6 Feb 2026

Lizzy Hoo is back with a brand new hour of stand up… actually it’s just the same 10-minute set on repeat. Jokes! Okay, so have you ever felt like you’re just going through the motions? You have trouble savouring the moments when everything is so transient? You’re kind of stuck on repeat? This show is about the things we do (okay, maybe the things I have done) to get out of that: golf lessons, piano, pickle ball, overcommitting, overnight hikes, scuba diving, bungee jumping, first dates, dinners at fancy restaurants, jobs I’ve never dreamed of and romantic holidays all on my own.

Lou Wall

7 & 8 Feb 2026

Featuring Wall’s signature meme-fueled PowerPoints, and pop musical comedy, Breaking the Fifth Wall is a forensic and frankly ludicrous deep dive into the space where performance and reality collide. Nothing and everything is as it seems. Fresh off a sell-out season at Edinburgh Fringe and about to take on New York – Lou Wall’s genre-defying, internet-fuelled comedy is not to be missed. Directed by Zoë Coombs Marr. Presented by Sydney Opera House and Token Events
