Brisbane Born and Bread

Overview

If you live in Brisbane, odds are that you've said goodbye to quite a few of your friends. No, we're not judging your social skills — we're simply recognising that Sydney and Melbourne are filled with ex-Queenslanders who have moved interstate to chase their dreams.

Alex Ward is one of them. Tim Hewitt is too. They're just two of the city's funny folks who are now plying their trades down south. But they haven't forgotten where they're from. Along with Angus Gordon, Aaron Gocs and Gearard McGeown, they make up Brisbane Born and Bread: Brisbane Comedy Festival 2016's collection of Brisvegas-centric laughs. And yes, because they all once called themselves locals, we're certain they won't refer to their former hometown by that cringeworthy nickname.

Brisbane Born and Bread is one of our top ten picks to see at the Brisbane Comedy Festival.
