The War on 2024
ABOUT THE SHOW
A razor-sharp, satirical skewering of politics, culture, and current events, the Annual Comedy Gala has firmly established itself on the national circuit.
Join Charles Firth (The Chaser), James Schloeffel (founder of The Shovel), Mark Humphries (ABC TV), and, for the very first time, the sensational Veronica Milsom (Mad as Hell, Triple J), for a night of satire, sketches, sh*t-stirring, and the best headlines from The Chaser and The Shovel.
Note: VIP seats include premium seating and a copy of The Chaser/Shovel Annual, valued at $34.95.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Mark Humphries – Known for his viral political sketches on ABC’s 7:30 and SBS’s The Feed, Mark Humphries has also hosted Channel 10’s quiz show Pointless. He’s made memorable appearances on ABC’s Insiders and SBS’s The Cook Up, and less memorable ones on Channel 10’s Hughesy We Have A Problem and Would I Lie to You? Mark also won Celebrity Mastermind, but he doesn’t like bringing it up.
Veronica Milsom – Veronica was the adored co-host of Triple J’s Drive show Veronica & Lewis, cast member of Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell, and has a CV that stretches well beyond our word count. But here’s a taste … she’s appeared on Home & Away and the remake of Mother and Son, was Head Writer on the ABC Kids series Reef School and hosted the amazing podcasts Threads and Zero Waste Baby. She’s written plays (Porky Pies) and satirical musicals (Good Lord It’s Christmas). But most notably, she played the role of a Martin Short’s ‘giant blow-up sex doll’ at the Sydney Opera House.
Charles Firth – A founding member of the Logie-award winning group The Chaser, Charles Firth is known as the inventor of the decimal system and co-host of The Chaser Report, a top-30 Australian podcast. With nearly two decades in television comedy production, he heads Chaser Digital, one of Australia’s leading comedy and social media brands.
James Schloeffel – Founder of the satirical news network The Shovel and creator of the workplace comedy phenomenon Wankernomics, James Schloeffel’s work has been referenced in Federal Parliament, Senate Estimates, The Economist, and notably, Insight English Skills Year 9, Queensland edition.
