  Hannah Gadsby features in the first of the best and brightest of the comedy festival stand-ups on the circuit.

This series, introduced by Adam Hills, was filmed in an old sawtooth warehouse in Melbourne, and captures their brilliance, and laughs, before they are lost forever. Gadsby, whose set is called Kiss me Quick I'm Full of Jubes, has her trademark droll, deadpan, self-deprecating observations about herself and her family that has delighted audiences everywhere.

  Tom Gleeson: Get It Into Ya!

  Season 1 Episode 2 - Aired 4/12/2011

  Tom Gleeson features in the second part of the best and brightest of the comedy festival stand-ups on the circuit, filmed at the Warehouse Festival's sawtooth warehouse venue. Aptly named, the festival is an attempt to store the laughs and brilliance of the performers from the festival circuit, normally lost forever once the gigs are over. Gleeson has performed at all three major comedy festivals in Melbourne, Edinburgh and Montreal and the 'invite-only' Kilkenny Comedy Festival in Ireland. He has performed at every capital city in Australia, in London, Dublin, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Jakarta and also in Iraq and Afghanistan. He seems to be everywhere on television, from Good News Week, to The 7pm Project and Thank God You're Here and is the cool, calm funny man behind the desk on many a panel show doing the rounds. But it is performing on stage where he really shines.
