It's been all go for Janty (rhymes with Aunty) after winning the Deadly Funny Grand Final in 2022. This very funny, highly appealing comic has performed to sold out crowds at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe and played the Sydney Opera House with the Aboriginal Comedy Allstars. @janty_blair
Will there be tricks? Quite probably. Tricksy is a multi-talented comedian brimming with additional skills - magic, ventriloquism, mime, standup, and more. Whatever she does, it's guaranteed that Tricksy will raise the roof.
