Glover & Sorrensen
“Twice as funny!”
Two-handed stand-up comedy – where two comedians are onstage at the same time – is a bit of a trick. It’s also a rare thing. It takes a special comedic relationship. That’s Alan Glover and S Sorrensen, two blokes who, when they get together, explore the green alternative, giving the audience twice the laughs and a bag full of the unexpected, as they do. Plus, they’re the MardiGrass Hemp Olympix officials (IHOC-accredited) and commentators.
Murray Hartin
“Solves equations”
If you haven’t heard the yarns “Turbulence”, “The Yoga Incident” or the haunting “Rain From Nowhere” you probably haven’t heard of Murray Hartin. But the bloke from Moree has been part of the festival/poetry/entertainment scene “for a long time”, including 13 years with his mad mates in The Naked Poets, and remains a favourite with audiences across Australia. His rapid-fire, rhyming recitals create vivid and often hilarious mental images that will stay with you forever.

“Comedian” from “Sydney”.Steady Eddy
“Recommends hemp undies”
Steady Eddy was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was nine months old. Some people think this is the reason he didn’t learn to walk until he was five, but, when asked about this, Steady shrugs his good shoulder and says, “I was just pacing myself.” Then Steady became a huge stand-up star. But he realised there must be more to life than fame, money and wild sex. He’s started wearing tie-dye and hemp undies. And now he just loves MardiGrass. So… he’s back!
