“The funniest woman in the world”
—Judd Apatow

Bamford’s unique comedy style and sharp observations on family dynamics and human eccentricities has won her praise from peers and audiences the world over. Combining sharp humour with empathy, Bamford’s comedy is unafraid to lean into the personal, as she weaves stories about her life and her own mental health journey in with wickedly funny comedy.

Tracey Cosgrove
Tracey has been a fixture of the comedy scene since winning the Tasmania heat of Raw Comedy in 2009. Since then, she has performed at a wide variety of events and festivals including taking her 2012 solo show Half a Wake to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Blending light hearted humour with a nod to the darker side of life, Tracey is the kind of person that will bake you biscuit’s but you might not want to eat them.

Stephanie Hare
Stephanie is a promising new comedian who recently came runner-up in the 2024 RAW Comedy National Grand Final, with a performance that was reviewed as "Amish" (She isn't, just rural Tasmanian). She began performing stand-up in 2023 on the Scottish comedy circuit, and has since gigged all around the UK, including at the Edinburgh Fringe, and has been invited to support several popular comics.
