A fixture to our Australian comedy circuit having cut her teeth over the last decade in comedy clubs and at annual comedy festivals including Melbourne International Comedy Festival, as well as jumping up in comedy tents at Fall Festival, Webeck wins over her audience with ease at every show. Relatable, light-hearted, and upbeat, Kirsty Webeck carries the charisma of a cockatoo; loud, full of laughter and bloody entertaining.
Webeck recently added “international comedian” to her credits by performing at New Zealand Comedy Festival. She appeared on the Best Foods Comedy Gala which was televised on Three, and performed her solo show for five nights at The Classic Comedy Club. In addition, Webeck’s face has been on our televisions here, there, and everywhere, appearing on the likes of Tonightly with Tom Ballard, Metrosexual, How To Stay Married, SBS’s Celebrity Letters and Numbers, The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, The ABC’s Question Everything Seasons 2 and 3, Channel 10’s Just For Laughs, The Project, Today Extra and New Zealand’s 7 Days. Her voice has also been heard as a regular guest on ABC radio and comedy podcasts, making Webeck a household name.
In her road show, I’ll Be The Judge of That, Webeck leans into the laughs, “because the genre demands them”, speaking about her recently learned relationship with farmers, her harrowing experience with classical music and an airport adventure. Renowned for her audience interactions, Webeck will spitball as the night goes, with surprises for the audience and herself!
