Comedy Club

Ft. Imaan Hadchiti and MC Madeleine Stewart

Undercover Artist Festival’s very own stand-up (or sit-down!) comedy event, Comedy Club, returns in 2025!

 

Following the brilliantly successful Are You Pulling My Leg? at Undercover Artist Festival in 2023, Madeleine Stewart returns as the MC of Comedy Club! Described by Chortle as ‘a likeable, engaging storyteller’ and ‘tickled by the absurdities of people’, Stewart’s tongue-in-cheek delivery and infectious cheer will leave audiences feeling positively tickled themselves. Metaphorically.

 

And for the first time at Undercover Artist Festival, the bold and irreverent Imaan Hadchiti performs live at Comedy Club! Imaan Hadchiti is a daring comedian with a razor-sharp wit and a knack for tackling the topics others avoid. He has been described as ‘uncancellable’, but will the UAF Comedy Club be the gig to change that?

 

Only one way to find out! Grab a bevvy from the bar and join us at the Comedy Club for some side-splitting, jaw-dropping comedy from some of the finest and funniest comics around.

 

Note: you may want to use the restroom beforehand.

Undercover Artist Festival is hosted at Queensland Theatre, find out more about purchasing tickets here and venue access here.

"Hadchiti is a total gem. Not only is his schtick and his outlook infectious and hilarious, but an hour with him is made poignant and exciting by his striking freshness, and his total honesty."
★★★★ Broadway Baby
Imaan Hadchiti

Standing at just 3.5 ft, Imaan holds a Guinness World Record, for ‘The Worlds Second Shortest Comedian’; finally, all of his hard work of breathing and continuing to exist has paid off.

Original, bold, and unapologetically authentic, Imaan Hadchiti is a daring, comedian with a razor-sharp wit and a knack for tackling the topics others avoid, a powerhouse performer who’s as sharp as he is fearless.
