One of Australia’s most beloved comedians, Claire Hooper has been entertaining audiences for over
20 years on stage and screen. Fresh from her award-winning 2024 show, So Proud, and the launch of
her new ABC series Claire Hooper’s House of Games, she brings razor-sharp wit, warmth and storytelling flair to Queenscliff.

Hooper is joined by the unstoppable Lizzy Hoo, a stand-up sensation whose self-assured, observational comedy has made her a favourite on shows like Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Weekly.
Further adding to the laughs are the acerbic Nick Schuller, whip-smart Tess Birch, the relatable
charm of Ben Searle, and the oddball antics and off-kilter musings of Nick Capper.

The festival will be soundtracked by some of the country’s most dynamic record selectors. Expect the Afro-soul rhythms of Cool Out Sun DJs, PBS Radio’s groove queen Miss Goldie, the genre-defying
energy of Mz Rizk and Fee B Squared, high-energy sets from the Surf Coast’s own Dangerboots, and
producer Rob Major, ensuring the dance floor never rests.

Off the stages, the festival transforms into a playground of sound, light and imagination. Playable
Streets invites festival-goers to tap into their creativity with the ever-incredible Musical Plants and
the reflective art of Reflection. The Slow Art Collective will reshape spaces into immersive worlds of
weaving, music-making and community-driven creativity. As night falls, Cosmic Wilderness lights up
the town with breathtaking animated projections crafted from local flora and fauna.

For those with an adventurous musical spirit, Chorus Club offers a feel-good community singalong
where everyone becomes part of the choir, while the Imaginary Millions Jam Session unleashes free-flowing creativity as poetry, music and spontaneity collide for adults, kids, and curious passers-by alike. To round out and calm the senses there will be Yoga with Live Music bringing stillness, sound and balance to the seaside.

And for the kids, and those young at heart, Queenscliff’s much-loved Kids Program returns bigger
than ever. Alongside headline acts Teeny Tiny Stevies and Peter Coombe, young festival goers can
discover circus antics with Bebop Circus, roving fun with the Giant Seagulls  groove with Guru
Dudu’s Silent Disco, giggle at the Krazy Koala Puppet Show, clap along with Marimba Taters, marvel
at Nicholas Ridiculous’ High Wire, and strum along with Woody’s World Ukulele.

The program continues to push bounds year after year, continuing the festivals rock solid foundations.

To explore the full lineup including The Cat Empire, The Preatures, Little Birdy, Ella Hooper and so many more, head to the official website.
