And the nominees are…
It’s that time of the festival when the various award shortlists are announced!
The Barry Award
Established in 1998, this recognises the most outstanding show of the entire festival. It is named for the festival’s patron, Barry Humphries.
In the running for the top award of the festival are: Tig Notaro, Hannah Gadsby, Russell Kane, Paul Foot, DeAnne Smith, Bob Franklin and Sam Simmons.
The Golden Gibbo Award
In memory of the late, great Lynda Gibson, who passed away in 2004, the Golden Gibbo is awarded to a local, independent show that bucks trends and pursues the artist’s idea more strongly than it pursues any commercial lure.
In the running for this year are: Ryan Coffey, Geraldine Quinn, Xavier Michelides, Neal Protenza and The Underlads.
The Bulmers People’s Choice Award

Do you know of the other category nominees? Best Newcomer, etc…
(Also, I believe it’s Neal Portenza)
Woops sorry, you’re right. Took the spelling from Comedy Festival’s announcement. As for the other categories, no sorry, no word on those as yet that I know of.
