If overthinking is a favourite past-time we have the perfect show for you at HEART HOUSE for Fringe World 2025
🎉 GILLIAN COSGRIFF FRESH NEW WORRIES

This one goes out to my overthinkers, stress heads and worrywarts. To anyone who’s been spiralling so hard they’re basically a slinky. We’re drowning in opinions these days and it feels like the only places we have to interact with people who don’t share our views are Ubers, hairdressers, and family Christmas.

Multi-award winning musical comedian Gillian Cosgriff has been worrying for years, but it’s a testament to her work ethic that she’s able to continually find fresh new worries. Expect brilliant songs, joyful pessimism, and a high likelihood of leaving lighter than you came in.

Gillian has won hearts on Thank God You’re Here, Aunty Donna’s Coffee Café and Question Everything.

Winner – Melbourne Comedy Festival Award 2023

Winner – Golden Gibbo, Melbourne Comedy Festival 2023

◆ NEW YEARS EVE
◆ 9PM / LATE
◆ RECHABITE TAKEOVER

𝗥𝗼𝘇𝗮 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗶 is a manifestation of femmeforward rhythmic energy, spreading a concoction of sublime mind dance, irreverent sapphic mischief, & vivacious cybernetics throughout the universe. Since emerging from her birthplace in the Australian underground, she’s helped to usher in a fantastically playful innovation to dancefloors worldwide through her uniquely enamoring recklessness & irresistibly unruly kinetic frequencies. Combining rave sonics across style & era with relentlessly naughty finesse & a bewitching effervescence true to her sound, her DJing embodies a vibrant synergy between arcane feminine exuberance, lush atmospheres, & nefariously trippy grooves - at once deeply transcendent, yet confident, chaotic, and fun loving at its core.

Melbourne-born and London-based, 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗲 is a rising star known for her bass-driven, percussive electronic sound. She’s played top venues like Panorama Bar and festivals like Field Day, with her debut EP on Steel City Dance Discs gaining critical acclaim. Featured on NME’s 2023 Emerging Artists list, she’s also a Rinse FM resident. With her Brake Fluid EP on AD 93, sh continues to push boundaries, creating bold, innovative tracks that combine global influences into a singular, powerful sound.

Based in Bogotá and now in Miami, 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝗲 blends Latin-inspired percussive sounds like dembow, reggaeton, and Brazilian funk with bass-heavy club beats. As a key figure in Miami’s electronic scene, she’s collaborated with Nick León on EPs for TraTraTrax and Club Romántico. Bitter Babe is a co-founder of LATITUDES, a project uniting Latin American electronic music communities, and her work features on labels like SVBKVLT and Omnidisc.

📣 PETE ROWSTHORN - KEEN

Most recently he travelled the world with his daughter, Comedy Zoner and triple j broadcaster, Frankie, The Amazing Race, Celebrity Edition.

Pete returns to the festival for the first time since the 80’s to talk life, TV, and aging ungraciously.
Also included: a Kath and Kim quiz / shameless rort to pull a crowd.

Lovers of punchy and sharp comedy, we have you sorted at HEART HOUSE for Fringe World 2025 with
🤯 BRETT BLAKE - LITTLE TURD
⁠
In 2002 Brett Blake was charged with inciting a riot, disorderly conduct and assaulting a public officer. Is he guilty? You be the judge.

He was 16 years old and facing a maximum prison sentence of 10 years.
What happened next surprised him, his parents, his lawyers, the neighbours and even the judge.

This is a story of the importance of second chances, the hypocritical expectations we have of young people, and how your number one enemy might just end up being your biggest champion.

Only Brett can manage to make a story of police brutality, learning disabilities, questionable 90’s parenting and growing up in a s**t suburb “funny”.

Seen on 2024 Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, Question Everything, Spicks and Specks and co-host of Work Hates Podcast.

Directed by Tom Ballard.

“It was a raucous, side-splitting 60 minutes of laughs.” Adelaide Advertiser
“Punchy and relevant insight... peppered with clever jabs at Australian culture.” The Age
“Blakey is also one of the sharpest minds in contemporary Australian comedy” Wil Anderson
“Brett Blake brings the good stuff in spades night after night. Get at him now. You won’t regret it.” Dave Hughes

A show for anyone who has ever embarrassed themselves in public at HEART HOUSE for Fringe World 2025 -
🥸 CLAIRE HOOPER - NOTHING TO SEE HERE
⁠
If a Claire Hooper falls over in the forest and nobody sees, does it make a sound? It’s a trick question. Somebody always sees.

This is a show for anyone who’s ever tripped on something that wasn’t there, waved across the room to someone who didn’t see them, had to spend too much time in a busy airplane toilet or suffered any other small, public humiliation and kept smiling.

You’ll have seen Claire on Spicks and Specks, Have You Been Paying Attention?, and pretty much every other comedy, cooking and panel show, as well as hosting the podcast I’m The Worst with Claire Hooper.

She’s also been falling over in public, physically and emotionally, for as long as she can remember.
