Tickets for the Cannabiz Awards 2025 presentation ceremony are now on sale with uncompromising stand-up comedian Katie Wainhouse revealed as this year’s host.
The Australasian winner of the Joke Nation International Comedy Competition, Wainhouse has also performed on Comedy Central and the Jim Jefferies and Friends TV specials, as well as supporting Jefferies on his Australian tour dates.
Chortle UK describes her as “hugely appealing” and a “dynamite hit”, The Sydney Morning calls her punchline pauses “absolutely perfectly timed”, while The Herald Sun says she’s their “favourite 30-something mum with award-winning comedic talent”.
The Daily Show’s Ronny Chieng describes her as “dark, edgy and disarmingly hilarious” while fellow Australian comic Fiona O’Loughlin says she’s “perfectly unique, relentlessly hilarious”.
The Cannabiz Awards 2025 presentation ceremony will take place at the Plaza Ballroom, Melbourne on May 22, with the Carlton Club playing host to the after party.
Following feedback from previous guests that they wanted more time for networking alongside the glitz, this year’s ceremony will feature a stand-up, catered cocktail reception followed by theatre-style, seated awards presentation.
