The night’s line-up is: 

Amna Bee is a Melbourne-based comedian, hailing originally from Pakistan and Canada. She started out in a small outback town in Australia and has since performed all around the country and in major festivals. Her solo, debut show premiered at the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival with a sold-out run and rave reviews. 

Sunanda was created in New Delhi, corrupted in Bangkok, came out in New York and came out (as a comedian) in Los Angeles, so don't ask them "where're you from?". Sunanda moved to Melbourne two years ago for love so, let's hope they at least stay together cuz they’ve blown their savings at Ishka (problematic, we all know). Broadsheet named their Fringe 2020 show, Yes, We Tan! their top comedy pick. 

Urvi Majumdar is a comedian, writer, actor and producer. She has performed to sold-out crowds at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Melbourne Fringe and Melbourne Writers’ Festival. You can see Urvi in Channel 9's comedy series Metrosexual and hear her often in guest spots on Triple R radio. Urvi is a regular writer for Channel 10’s The Project. 

Swati Vats is an illustrator+designer+comic artist and improviser living in Melbourne. Her work is inspired by the humor and intimacy found in fleeting moments shared with friends and strangers alike. Raised in four continents, by the age of 18, Swati had come to celebrate the body of work that was her art exploration, until one day the portfolio that contained all of her artwork got drenched in the monsoon.. Ever since that soaking wet day, her approach towards art and creativity has been marked by ephemerality and the humor of starting from scratch repeatedly. 

Don’t miss this glorious, gut-busting show featuring four stand-up women comedians who will focus on highlighting the funny side of being different.
