STAND UP AUSTRALIA is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for six everyday Australians to step outside their comfort zone and do something they’ve always dreamed of doing: perform stand-up comedy live on stage.
Inspired by listener Stuart Richardson’s determination to continually challenge himself despite living with a stutter, and the message behind Christian O’Connell’s new book Unscript: The Radical Act of Being Yourself, this national journey is about courage, vulnerability and backing yourself when fear says otherwise.
No comedy experience is required, just a willingness to give it a go. Over seven weeks, Christian will personally mentor the chosen participants as they develop their stories, build confidence and prepare for the biggest challenge of their lives.
Their journey will be shared with listeners every step of the way before they take to the stage at Sydney’s iconic Comedy Store on Thursday 3 December. There will be nerves, laughs, breakthroughs and unforgettable moments, but by the end of the night, six Australians will be able to say, “I did stand-up comedy.”
To enter, tell us why you’ve always wanted to give stand-up a crack and why now is the time to take the leap.
