Capper is known from his appearances on ABC Comedy Up Late, Comedy Central, and Gocsy's Classics. He's also a podcast regular as heard on Ari Shaffir's Skeptic Tank, The Phone Hacks, The Debrief with Dave O'Neil, and The Little Dum Dum Club.

This Friday we are back upstairs at Madocke with a line up of the best comedians from around Australia and internationally at one of the Gold Coast's newest and coolest breweries. Belgian beers, big laughs and the perfect way to knock-off for the week every Friday night.
We have two legends of the game with us this week and we can't wait to get this show rolling. Bart Freebairn is one of the best comics in the country and is at Madocke this Friday only to spoil us with a killer headline set. Nick Capper is a brilliant comedian and incredibly sharp joke writer and is with us to host the show and keep the night rolling.
Bart Freebairn is a silly fun stand up comedy comedian. Having had the pleasure of performing at some lovely festivals like The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival and Brisbane Comedy Festival, Bart has had people who work at newspapers write some nice things about him. You might have even heard him on Triple J or seen him on The Comedy Channel. He has also written for Channel Ten's Good News Week.
"…a joy to watch." ★★★★ The Age
"...turns ordinary tales into wonderful adventures." ★★★★ The Adelaide Advertiser.
Originally a Sydney boy, Nick Capper has sold out shows at Melbourne, Sydney, Perth Festivals, in cities around the country and can be regularly heard on The Little Dum Dum Club. He's one half of Phone Hacks, constantly touring to headline shows around the country and his comedy special Pork Palace is very good (and also in HD). From ABC, SBS and stages around the world, he's a subversive, hilarious lunatic.
"He creates a peculiar take on reality that has quirky appeal and images you'll remember" - Chortle.
