SHAYNE HUNTER - COMEDIAN, WRITER, ACTOR
OK WHAT? HERE IT IS. THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT… STOP IT ALREADY! JUST CHECK OUT THIS GUY FOR A MINUTE. WHAT, LIKE YOU HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO DO?
NOW THIS IS SHAYNE HUNTER. REMEMBER THAT NAME. ITS GOING TO BE WORTH SHECKLES ONE DAY GODDAMMIT! SHAYNE STARTED IN COMEDY LIKE A RED HOT CHILLI PEPPER SANDWICH WITH EXTRA PICKLES. HE WAS HAND PICKED FOR THE MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL COMEDY ZONE BACK IN 2010.
“Shayne's performances are both endearing and uproarious, making him indispensable on any lineup” - JOSH ARMSTRONG (BASED COMEDY)
AFTER THAT, THIS COMEDY WRITING MACHINE CUT HIS OWN FREAKING BREAKS. IN 2018, HUNTER PUT TOGETHER AND TOURED HIS SPECIAL “BLAZE AGAINST THE MACHINE” - A SHOW ABOUT ADDICTION, THROUGH BRISBANE, SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE COMEDY FESTIVALS.
WHAT DID HE DO NEXT I HEAR YOU ASK? HUNTER TRAVELLED TO MALAYSIA AND THAILAND TO PERFORM IN THE 2019 MAGNERS INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL WHERE HE FEATURED HIS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED SHOW “THE COGNITIVE DISSENT”.
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT HE WASNT AN OUTLAW COMIC ENOUGH, BETWEEN 2012 AND 2016 SHAYNE BECAME INVOLVED WITH LEFT WING STREET ACTIVISM. HAVING THAT PERFECT POST FUNERAL COCKTAIL OF COMEDY AND ACTIVISM, SHAYNE ORGANISED MULTIPLE FUNDRAISING GIGS.
IT WAS IN 2020 WHEN SHAYNE HUNTER LANDED THE FREAKIN PLANE RIGHT INTO THE SIDE OF OUR HEARTS WITH HIS GROUNDBREAKING SHOW “CROWD CONTROL”. THIS THING TOOK SHAYNE’S FINE TUNES COMEDY SKILLS AND LIFE EXPERIENCE HAVING TO THINK ON HIS TOES AND MERGED THEM INTO THE ULTIMATE RIFFING COMPETITION. COMEDIANS HAVE TRAVELLED FAR AND WIDE JUST TO BE A PART OF IT.
AND HERE WE GO FOLKS. HERE’S THE BIG ONE! IN 2022 HUNTER LAUNCHED HIS DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER WITH EXTRA CHEESE. THE ONE AND ONLY “TRUE CRIME COMEDY TOURS”! THESE SELL OUT TOURS HAVE BEEN RUN IN BRISBANE, SYDNEY, ADELAIDE, PERTH AND MELBOURNE. THEY EXPLORE EACH HOST CITY AND THEIR DARK CRIMINAL HISTORIES, NARRATED THROUGH COMEDY AND STORYTELLING. HERE ARE JUST A COUPLE OF THE MANY PUNTER REVIEWS:
“BEST VALUE TICKET I’VE HAD THIS YEAR” - SANDI SHUTTLEWORTH
“IT WAS FUN, ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL… HIGHLY RECOMMEND” - KRISTY SIMPSON
