Dane Simpson presents

Best Of The Bush 2026

  • Australia

Get ready to swap your city slicker latte for a pub schooner – Best of the Bush is rolling into Melbourne!

Handpicked by professional comedian Dane Simpson, this all-star lineup features the funniest up-and-coming comics from Wagga Wagga, Albury, Wodonga and Canberra. They’ve driven the long roads, dodged the kangaroos and written killer punchlines somewhere between the paddocks and the pub.

This show brings a fresh, country spin to stand-up comedy – honest, unpredictable and packed with heart (and maybe a little dust). It’s your chance to catch the next big names of Aussie comedy before they blow up – or at least before they make it back to Wagga.

So, grab your mates, park your tractor (or Uber) and come see why the bush is producing some of the best laughs in the country.

Best of the Bush – because funny doesn’t stop at the city limits.

Suitable for audiences 18+

Language – occasional coarse language
