I CAN TELL

[MELT FESTIVAL 2025]

The Trans Comedian’s first-ever Brisbane show!

What started as a writing exercise turned into a global movement. For the past six months, Chris McAllister—AKA The Trans Comedian—has been posting a funny video a day on Instagram about life as a trans person. Those sharp, relatable, and wildly funny clips have racked up thousands of fans worldwide, proving that humor is one of the best ways to break down barriers. Now, Chris is bringing their hit stand-up show I Can Tell to Brisbane!

With a mix of rapid-fire one-liners, razor-sharp observations, and hilarious personal stories, Chris takes audiences on a journey through identity, absurdity, and the everyday moments that make life both ridiculous and joyful. “I Can Tell” is a comedy special packed with insight, warmth, and a whole lot of laughs.

Chris made waves with their sold-out debut at the Sydney Fringe Festival, and now they’re hitting the road, bringing their unique and fearless comedy to new audiences. Whether you’re trans, cis, or just love a damn good comedy show, this is one you won’t want to miss.

“Terrific stand-up, replete with some needle-sharp one-liners that puncture all parochiality.” Paul Gilchrist, Theatre Red

The post JIMMY DORE: Australian Tour 2025 appeared first on The Paddo.

Daniel Muggleton is an Australian comedian in a tracksuit.

His live shows frequently sell-out at comedy festivals around the world, have earned him numerous five-star reviews and a couple of industry awards. Daniel’s comedy specials White & Wrong and Let’s Never Hang Out have aired on Channel 7, Amazon Prime and ABC TV. He’s also been hand-picked to support Steve Hofstetter, Jim Jefferies and Ismo on tour, and was invited to perform at Just For Laughs in 2023. Through a combination of red hot word-of-mouth and viral stand-up clips, Daniel has become one of the most in-demand live acts in Australia. Daniel is also one of the hosts of ‘Flog Cabin’ which is a comedy podcast you should start listening to immediately.

A quick note from Daniel: “Hello, I’m Daniel Muggleton, I’m the guy. I just wanted to let you know that unlike previous years there’s a chance this show is about something. If I had to choose a word to describe what that is I’d say ‘family’ but remember, the Fast & Furious franchise is also about family so there’s an equal chance this show is about street racing or about me finally becoming a father. Cheers.”

– Squatting in your childhood bedroom: Can your prolonged stay turn into a case for adverse possession?
– Mens Rea and Res Ipsa Loquitur: Is it time to swap out the ancient Latin legal vibes for some phresh Gen Z lingo?
– Handyman horrors: Can you sue your parents for DIY disasters?
– Doth protest too much: How to shoot yourself in the foot like Ben Robert-Smith
– Work-Life Balance: Making my billables… while buying Taylor Swift tickets
