Jenny Tian
12 – 14 Feb 2026
Jenny’s had one of the most original experiences ever: moving to London as an Australian. She’s frozen her eggs, re-downloaded Hinge and is ready for an adventure. Join her as she shares her stories of phone snatching, cultural oddities and ~finding herself~.
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
