Kieran Butler, the aging enfant terrible of Australian satire, will tell you to despair and make it funny.
Slappy T fearless and tuneful voyager across the human soul.
Kirk McKenzie, Homeless Kirk, the disturbing man from the edge, will make you question your life choices. And his.
Kasey Mills will explore the limits of belief and how we know what we think we know.
Louis Nicoll will explore the comedic possibilities of the piano.
Tim Cummins has gathered a group of comedians to talk about something other than themselves.
Becky Steepe will tell of her battle with cancer and the disturbing truths it revealed about the human condition and the Australian medical system.
The easy going John Dore, here to destroy your worldview in the nicest possible way.
The eponymous surrealist "Tristan Haze".
Justin Mclean, determined to expose the sociopathy of power. In a funny way.
And the significant Australian comic and underwear model Chris Wainhouse.
Also we will have a Comedy Debate intended to clarify one or another of the comedic issues of our day.
Times, and more details on acts, will be published closer to the day on social media and on www.awkwardgiraffe.net, our webpage. There may be some changes to the lineup,

What we are hoping is that people will come and stay for the whole day or whole weekend, watch different acts perhaps of a type or point of view that they would not otherwise have seen, and hang around for discussion. Leave that weekend free, it will be awesome.l
