With 2023 nudging into the rear-view mirror, a host of the brightest names in Australian stand-up comedy – including Janty Blair, Scout Boxall, Nat Harris, Zoë Coombs Marr, Vidya Rajan, Dane Simpson and Alex Ward – come together to gaze into the Wheeler Centre’s crystal ball and answer your burning questions about what the next year holds. What will 2024 bring for pop culture, fashion and politics? Our stellar line-up of comics will share playful, insightful and at times deranged predictions. With the bar in full swing, our in-house tarot reader Velma Vouloir on hand to read your fortune, and a performance by host Karen from Finance to close the evening, this is an end-of-year-comedy showcase not to be missed. Forget the ambiguous notifications from Co-Star – the comedy crystal ball will tell you everything you need to know about 2024 (no guarantees).
