Two of our country’s biggest online comedians are live and taking their acts to the stage for this year’s comedy festival. With over 3 million followers between the pair, we made our way down to the European Bier Cafe to check out the two young comics.
First up was Lachlan Fairbairn, one half of the popular Fairbairn Films; his online skits with brother Jaxon. We sat and listened to first hand accounts and observations from Lachlan’s own life and personal experiences; including being ridiculously tall, some interesting dating stories, and a range of hilarious impressions. Our favourite moments centred around stories from the farm and his parents, including when he showed his dad Spotify and changed the way farming would be done forever.
Next up on the main stage was Will Gibb, another popular TikTok creator turned stand-up comedian. Will split his time between commentary on everyday life and intimate crowd interactions and had the audience in stitches. When he’s not talking about Grindr, coming out to his parents or his time at private school with the lads, he speaks to the crowd about their own experiences including, but not limited to their favourite word for vaginas. If you are keen to find out what Will’s been up to since primary school, head down to the European Bier Cafe to catch Lachlan and Will’s new show.
