The inaugural Darwin Comedy Festival – presented by Darwin Entertainment Centre – features everyone from local NT talents and the Aboriginal Comedy Allstars (Andy Saunders, Elaine Crombie, Janty Blair, Jay Wymarra, Kevin Kropinyeri and Sean Choolburra) through to award-winning and big name comedians Geraldine Hickey, Sammy J, Celeste Barber and Nazeem Hussain.
“Comedy in Darwin is incredibly popular. There’s been a really regular stream of comedians who’ve come here and have connected really strongly. And I think Darwin audiences are incredibly warm, love a laugh and really have embraced the genre,” explains Darwin Entertainment Centre (DEC) CEO Georgia Hendy, who started in the role in January 2024.
