Samantha Day is familiar with the joys and frustrations of corporate life, having spent 30 years in the city. And then, six years ago, she swapped spreadsheets for
stand up – and what a turnaround.

She is a fearless, and refreshingly honest comedian whose unique blend of wit, warmth, and self-deprecating humour has captivated audiences across the country. Brilliantly observational, her comedy draws from real life —marriage to the long suffering Mr Day, motherhood of a gaggle of millennials and Gen Z offspring, and the small absurdities of everyday existence — all delivered with a perfectly timed punchline and a big dose of heart.
