That's not A stand-up comedy showcase featuring the very best comedians from Australia and New Zealand at the Fringe! Every show features three hilarious Antipodean comedians and resident compere/tracksuit enthusiast Daniel Muggleton.

Daniel Muggleton is an Australian comedian in a tracksuit.

Daniel Muggleton's 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 & The ABC. He's also been hand-picked to support Steve Hofstetter, Russell Kane & Adam Rowe 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.


News and Reviews for this Show

August 16, 2025  One4Review
Late-night comedy showcases can be a minefield. You need a killer compère to keep the pace, a lineup of standout acts, and an audience ready to bite and engage. The wrong energy and the whole space-time continuum can collapse faster than a poorly planned punchline. Tonight? No worries, mate. It’s all under Aussie border control, and they’ve brought the sun-cream-ready talent.
The show kicks off with the compère and MC for the night, Daniel Muggleton, who is instantly in control. Dressed in a red Adidas tracksuit with a moustache that screams suburban Melbourne barbecue bouncer, he owns the room from the first word. Tales of kids, fertility treatment, and British/American bashing have the crowd eating out of his hand — and laughing their heads off.
Next up, the acts hit hard and fast:
Hoani Hotene – The token Kiwi of the night, razor-sharp from the off. SpongeBob translations into Te Reo Māori, debates over what counts as a meal deal, ChatGPT musings, and the hilariously problematic “Couple Massages” all land perfectly. Hoani is a talent to watch, no question.
Prue Blake – Melbourne-born, London-based, and newly married, Blake mines her material with wit
and confidence. From wedding ring dilemmas to micro weddings, she hits the relatable highs and lows of married life, with her “S.I.N.C.” scenario — Single Income, No Children — stealing the show. The audience adore her charm, timing, and sheer stage presence.
Amos Gill – Californian-based Aussie and star-in-the-making. His set touches on cultural attitudes to sobriety, children’s games turned bizarre fetish exercises, vegan future shock, and the British Empire. Each joke is structured and delivered with precision, and he absolutely slays.
All in all, there are countless compilation shows at this year’s Fringe, but this one stands out. No weak links, big laughs, and a brilliant way to discover some of the most exciting comics on the circuit.
