Ethan Cavanagh caught the stand-up comedy bug at the ripe old age of 15 and has been learning to live with the symptoms ever since.
Originally hailing from western Victoria, this country-bumpkin-turned-big-smoke performer is one of Melbourne’s fastest-rising and most extravagantly over-dressed comedians.

Recognisable to 3RRR listeners from her three-year stint as one of the Breakfasters team. Her sharp, character-driven comedy has earned her numerous awards, sold out shows, national tours and legions of fans.
"Deadpan, perfectly-paced delivery and dry, ballsy demeanour that is a joy.” Chortle UK.

Affable and relatable with punchlines landing more often than a champion MMA fighter (fun fact, prior to comedy Jeremy was a multi-level champion across various martial arts ranging in everything from full contact Karate to MMA).
