Guy Montgomery
I’ve Noticed So Many Things, It’d Be Unfair To Keep Them To MyselfAward-winning Kiwi comedian, podcaster and improviser Guy Montgomery brings his new stand-up show ‘I’ve Noticed So Many Things, It’d Be Unfair To Keep Them To Myself’ to Australia in 2025. He’s well known to Australian audiences through TV shows like Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, Have You Been Paying Attention and Thank God You’re Here. The national tour will include dates at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, the iconic Atheneum Theatre in Melbourne – where Montgomery will play his biggest Melbourne International Comedy Festival shows to date, the Perth Comedy Festival and the Sydney Comedy Festival, before shows in Brisbane, Newcastle, Wollongong, the Gold Coast and wrapping in Geelong. Montgomery said, “People often wonder what I get up to when I'm not relaying my observations about the world to them and I'm finally ready to talk. The truth is whenever I'm not relaying my observations, I am out in the community, harvesting a fresh crop of bespoke observations. That's what this show is about.” The shows follow Montgomery’s sold out 2024 tour ‘Over 50,000,000 Guy Fans Can’t Be Wrong’ that saw him perform in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. In addition this year, Montgomery’s growing popularity in Australia led to him hosting the Opening Night Comedy Allstars Supershow at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and saw his TV series Guy Montgomery’s Mont-Spelling Bee premiere on ABC TV. Join Guy for a chance to think "I've also noticed that" or "I had not noticed that but now I think about it, that is a bit what it is like." "One of Oceania's premier observational comedians" - The Age “This was like a masterclass in stand-up comedy.” - NZ Herald

Make-up Masterclass with Amanda Wignall
Come along and enjoy a fun 3 hour make-up class with Amanda to learn all her tips and tricks!After working as a professional model for just over a decade, and having a life long active interest in skin care and make-up, plus continuing my study in skin care and professional make-up I have finally decided to dedicate myself wholly to this industry.Welcome to Cocoon Skin and Beauty - My Skin Clinic and Make-up Studio!My name is Amanda, and at 54 my skin has changed quite considerably since my modeling days. I'd love to help all women who are feeling a bit overwhelmed by life changes and wanting to update their skin care and make-up routines.I also cater for young ladies who may be starting out on their make-up journey and want to learn how to get the most out of their apprearance or need advice on products and techniques that suit their skin type.I offer intimate groups of up to 6 people at my home studio for make-up masterclasses. During this 3 hour class, you will learn techniques for an every day look, including:brow shapingcontouringhighlighter placementhow to get the most out of your eyelasheslip colours to suit youeyeshadows to make your eyes shineYou will receive my make-up masterclass booklet with notes and diagrams of product placement, and I will help you select colours that suit your complexion.What people are saying:"I was just feeling super washed up and haggard, I feel so much more confident in my skin and well put together. I make more eye contact , I worry less about how blotchy I might get as the day goes on. The makeup how you taught during your class lasts all day, even today when it was super humid." - Jackie A"I can highly recommend Amanda’s makeup classes, as she tailored the lesson to our mature skin, and focused on the techniques and products that will flatter and brighten our skin to give a glowing and fresh look, which doesn’t look stupid for our age.I’ve been wanting to do a makeup course for some time, but always been hesitant, as was worried I’d look silly, but this was prefect, as it was very personalised. Amanda’s lessons cover everything from choosing the right foundation to applying makeup in a way that enhances natural beauty without looking overdone.The steps were easy-to-follow, with a step-by-step booklet to remind you afterwards; a few practice sessions at home and I’m applying makeup in under 15mins for work in a way that flatters my skin.No more walking past a window/mirror wondering why did I leave home looking like that! So pleased I did the course and wish I’d done it earlier – sign up as you will not be disappointed." - Jacqui HCOST: A$69
