After a successful season at the Melbourne international Comedy Festival,
Keith Flipp was seduced by the razzle dazzle of the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, the lager louts and his 3pm time slot. Now he continues the carnage by rattling the sensibilities of all his Hillsong friends and heading north for a one off performance at the BIG JOKE COMEDY FESTIVAL in Bangalow 17th feb and a two week stint in the city of churches and bizarre sex crimes....purrfect!

Originally from Darwin, Amelia is now a Sydney based comedian with exquisite
bogan grace who believes comedy is revolutionary and can save the world.
Her unique brand of energy filled character comedy provides hilarious insights
into the wicked and wily workings of a well bred, lateral thinking mind.
Her humour is both confonting, sensitive and intelligent, a hearty grain fed,
well rounded, full bodied flavour with lashings of laughter and a generous side
of political profanity.
'Roadhouse is a triumph!' Chortle UK
'Brilliantly portrayed and utterly hilarious' The Pun
'Intelligent,
caustic and very, very brave...a one woman Tour de Force!' The Scotsman
'Deceptively sweet, strong and hilarious. The sweetest Glasgow kiss I ever
had!' Glasgow Herald
In 2006 Amelia was selected to be a recipient of the prestigious and much
coveted "Moose Head Award" and showcased her new show at
the 2007 Melbourne Comedy Festival - "Amelia Jane Hunter is Keith Flipp (The Girl
from Belkendowns Flat)"
In 2007 Amelia was once again given the fabulous 'Moosehead Award' to perform a groundbreaking new show with the sublimely talented raw Comedy winner- Hannah Gadsby. Their show MEAT the MUSICAL is a butchered tale with more meat than music and will preview in Adelaide before moving to Melbourne for the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
