Best of British Isles - Comedy Feat. Jon Pinder

Experience a comedy journey that starts with warm banter, sharpens with polished wit, erupts with Irish energy, and hits full throttle with a knockout headline. Four top-tier comedians, whose roots span the British Isles but whose talent is firmly planted in Perth, deliver a masterfully structured evening of laughs.

The night opens with Scottish flair as David Callan steps into the spotlight. Originally from Edinburgh, he’s now a beloved fixture in Perth after sell-out runs of his solo show Scotland the Dave at both FringeWorld and Edinburgh Fringe. His relaxed, natural style earned praise as “a master storyteller whose yarns are funny at every turn,” and he effortlessly draws you in with stories of marriage, life in Australia, and all the minor absurdities that come with it.

Next, the energy tightens with the razor-sharp observations of English-born David Hughes. A RAW WA Comedy state finalist and Comedy Lounge regular, he also writes for TV hits including Taskmaster, Mock the Week, The Project, and Trailer Park Boys. His stand-up blends smart stagecraft with millennial wit, turning everyday moments into sharply observed, laugh-out-loud routines.

Then comes the Irish whirlwind: Cork-born Ronnie Neville. Fresh from a whirlwind of performances—including a hit Edinburgh Fringe show praised as “absolutely bonkers”—he assaults the stage with over a hundred rapid-fire stories in a single hour. Expect high-energy crowd interaction, confessional tales, and infectious charisma as he spins cultural collisions and pub antics into comedic gold.

Finally, brace for the full-force finale. British-born and Perth-based, Jon Pinder balances life as a tattoo artist by day with commanding the Comedy stage by night. He’s a familiar voice on local radio and host of the popular Kings & Vagabonds podcast. His sold-out Fringe runs showcased crisp cultural mash-ups, spot-on impressions, and dry, irreverent humor. His headlining set will unify the night’s themes—identity, ambition, absurdity—and deliver a powerful, sustained laugh crescendo.
