    #3 - Hannah Gadsby: Kiss Me Quick, I'm Full of Jubes

    S1:E1

    Hannah Gadsby features in the first of the best and brightest of the comedy festival stand-ups on the circuit. She is one of the sharpest and funniest of Australian comedians who pour blood, sweat and tears into the circuit every year, then have their shows disappear at the end of the season. This series, introduced by Adam Hills, was filmed in an old sawtooth warehouse in Melbourne, and captures their brilliance, and laughs, before they are lost forever. Gadsby, whose set is called Kiss me Quick I'm Full of Jubes, has her trademark droll, deadpan, self-deprecating observations about herself and her family that has delighted audiences everywhere. A former winner of the Raw Comedy event, she is now also a regular on Adam Hills Live in Gordon Street Tonight on ABC1.

    3.5/10(10 votes)

    #4 - Hannah Gadsby: Mrs Chuckles

    S2:E9

    Hannah Gadsby doesn't smile much and she laughs even less. For a comedian, that's like being a transformer that doesn't fancy driving. She hates talking and is not much chop when it comes to listening. She is a rock, an island, and a lone ranger. She knows all this yet she was still utterly miffed when a friend told her she was woeful at chatting and was borderline rude. In the face of criticism she vowed to change and decided to train in the art of small talk. Hannah Gadsby: Mrs Chuckles is a tale of self discovery and of general failure.

    #5 - Tom Gleeson: Get It Into Ya!

    S1:E2

    Tom Gleeson features in the second part of the best and brightest of the comedy festival stand-ups on the circuit, filmed at the Warehouse Festival's sawtooth warehouse venue. Aptly named, the festival is an attempt to store the laughs and brilliance of the performers from the festival circuit, normally lost forever once the gigs are over. Gleeson has performed at all three major comedy festivals in Melbourne, Edinburgh and Montreal and the 'invite-only' Kilkenny Comedy Festival in Ireland. He has performed at every capital city in Australia, in London, Dublin, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Jakarta and also in Iraq and Afghanistan. He seems to be everywhere on television, from Good News Week, to The 7pm Project and Thank God You're Here and is the cool, calm funny man behind the desk on many a panel show doing the rounds. But it is performing on stage where he really shines.
