They may work in stand-up comedy, television, film, or radio, and often address social issues, Australian identity, and current events through satire and storytelling. Prominent figures include Barry Humphries, known for his character Dame Edna Everage, and more contemporary comedians like Hannah Gadsby and Jim Jefferies. Their unique style often reflects Australia's diverse landscape, history, and attitude, making their comedy relatable both locally and internationally.
