Pilbara Kimberlys Comedy Muster....Bringing Comedy to the Outback!

Featuring Matthew Hardy (feature), with Julia Wilson and Harley Breen!

Matthew Hardy is a Melbourne-based comedian who is a regular headliner Australia wide. In the 90s, he spent 8 years full-time on the UK live circuit, which included regular appearances at Jongleurs and The Comedy Store.

TV credits include Spicks and Specks, UK Live JONGELEURS, hosting two series of The Big Schmooze, and appearing as a panelist plus roving reporter on ABC-TV’s The Fat. Matthew was also a part of the BAFTA-winning The Sketch Show writing team for ITV in the UK, and subsequently wrote for Kelsey Grammar’s sketch series on FOX in the US.

Matthew wrote the best-selling book Saturday Afternoon Fever (Random House), a light-hearted and hilarious look at his life in the 1980s as a fan of the St Kilda Football Club, a famous Aussie Rules team, which became a sold-out multi-media one-man show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Hardy also appeared in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his own take on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, along with special guest Julie Dawn Cole, who portrayed Veruca Salt in the 1971 film version.

Described by many as the toughest woman in comedy, Julia Wilson tours the world with her dubious morals.

Appearances on stages around the globe, TV (Stand Up Australia, Love My Way), radio (JJJ, Nova) and film have honed her dynamic personality to a gutsy edge that can’t be rivalled.

She doesn’t just take to the stage, she owns it. Her unique style of storytelling is delivered with such honesty and energising pace that a shirt full of sore ribs is guaranteed.

The highlight of any bill, Julia has been winning audiences all over the world - Britain, Australia, South Africa, Croatia, Germany and Canada. Julia’s humour refuses to be pigeonholed and her personality refuses to be ignored!

Harley Breen is becoming a major player in the Australian and International comedy circuit as he delivers his bizarre and absurd takes on the world.

Harley has performed in various roles on local and international TV shows, ads and movies, including Scooby Doo, Swimming up stream, and Blurred.

He has been a major part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for the past 5 years, and has also toured extensively with the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow in 2006 and 2007.

2007 saw Harley invited to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival by Gilded Balloon Productions to perform his first Solo Show “Son of a Preacher Man”. While in Edinburgh, Harley was nominated and won a peer voted award the “Tronny” for Best new comer. He remained in the UK for an extra month working at the Famous London Comedy Store, Up The Creek, as well as various other gigs around England.
