Melbourne Festival Funhouse Comedy Club

Actor, writer and comedian Barry Castagnola has firmly established himself as an accomplished comic performer. He has been performing stand up round the country and internationally for over four years. He started off by blagging his way on to the stage at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles and has never looked back.

'His blokey charm and willingness to make himself look ridiculous carry him through the trickiest of subject matter' (Edfest)

'Lucid urban storyteller' (Chortle).

'George Zach went down well with the crowd and got some of the bigger laughs of the night. Really likeable act should go far' (GiggleBeats)

'George Zach... after gaining a degree in England decided not to return to his home on a Greek Island. Instead he chose to follow his passion for comedy, live in Newcastle and now entertains audiences with his funny Geordie observations' (Funhouse Comedy).

A larger than life joker, who playfully teases the audience into laughter one minute, and then blasts them with comic energy the next. As a musical comedian, Ashley has a guitar case full of comic songs and musical observations. The perfect act to add variety and energy to any line up.

'An award-winning commercial radio presenter and stand-up comedian his laid back attitude, dry sense of humour and sharp tongue are a rare mix that always fascinates his audiences' (Funhouse Comedy).
