Latest News
Sydney Comedy Festival 2025
I am sad to say that for the first time since its inception I won’t be doing a solo show at the Sydney Comedy Festival 2025. I’m kinda bummed because it is the big 20 year milestone festival but unfortunately I have had too much going on for the last freaking too long to be able to give a new stand-up show the attention that it deserves.
I hate these kinds of posts, but I’ve been quiet online for quite a while and wanted to share that I won’t be taking part with a solo show this year. I was lucky enough to be the first independent act to be offered a spot on the inaugural SCF Gala Show at the Enmore Theatre and since then the festival very quickly became one of the highlights of my comedy year.
Like every other year the Sydney Comedy Festival 2025 will be full of loads of great shows from local, interstate, and international comedians.
Below is the first 3 shows I’ll be seeing myself:
Jen Carnovale – Treat Me Like Your Mother
Stephanie Broadbridge and a whole bunch of other talented comedians – Breaking the Musical
And Luke Heggie – Yuck
Outside of the shows it is a great hangout with plenty of space, excellent atmosphere, and very cool vibes.
If you’re looking for a fix of stand-up from me you can check out some short clips hereI also have my first two full length recordings available on YouTube here and here.
They are also available quite cheap and ad free at my online store here and on my Patreon here (which I will do something with I promise).
I’m still cooking. I’ll see you when I see you.
March Comedy show at Buddy’s
It’s time to spread the word about our March comedy show at Buddy’s.
We’ve had a huge year so far with sold out shows in Jan and Feb, the trend will easily continue with this stellar line-up of comedians.
More info and tickets are available here and there is a complimentary drink with every ticket purchased.
If you’re looking for something to do on a Thursday night i’m involved in running this as well, this one is weekly, Buddy’s Comedy is Monthly.

Mic in Stand is bringing live stand-up comedy back to the Friend in Hand hotel in Glebe on Thursday nights for another weekly comedy room.

Daniel Townes Gaming Channel
As a hobby I've recently started a gaming channel over on YouTube. I am still figuring out the direction I will take it in but so far I am having a lot of fun playing through some of my favourite games and franchises. So far it's just Mario and Splatoon, but there will be more.
