Fine handcrafted nonsense.

What the heck is a Humdinger? It’s a production house, studio space and overall good vibe. We’re a ragtag company that’s been making comedy shows for over a decade. We shoot pretty much everything out of our studios in Brunswick, Australia. If you want to laugh at something that looks a bit of alright, we’ve got you. And thanks for stopping by.

Formerly Stupid Old Studios, now we’re a real Humdinger.

Hey there you! While we're between shows we highly recommend watching Aretha Brown's CHANGE THE DATE podcast special. We couldn't be more honoured that she partnered with us on this important project! Here's what the show is in Aretha's own words:

"Join me for my one-off CHANGE THE DATE - INVASION DAY 2024 - Podcast Special! Celebrating the release of my brand new - ⁠Decolonise Your Self! Card Deck (shorturl.at/vBMQ7). I will be talking through the major points surrounding Survival Day 2024, for allies and mob alike!

Joining me is comedian Brigalow Joaquin Mcintosh (Murawari) & the deadly activist, W.A.R community organiser and love boat ⁠Tarneen Onus Browne ⁠(Gunditjmara, Bindal, Yorta Yorta and Torres Strait Islander from Mer and Erub islands). As we chat Post Referendum depression, Allies (bless their hearts), Important Rally Info (slay), Neo Nazis (not slay), and advice for supporting the mob in our lives (that Aboriginal flag sticker on your laptop won't cover it I’m so sorry baby) and heaps of fun stuff in between."

Get onto it! Click to watch below!

HUGE livestream tonight at 7PM to raise funds for Comedy Lab, our crowdfunded program that gives comedians access to our studios, crew and equipment for free!

We are throwing the first ever Stupid Old Talent Quest featuring unbelievable magic tricks, logic-defying sports stunts and sweet sweet music! See our comedy mates like you've never seen them before. One act in particular will make you go "WOW, I feel very unfit right now" so that's good. Catch you there!

Our mate ‪@jackdruce3684‬ has released his whole comedy special for FREE! What a silly duffer, that's not a price. Anyway, we shot it and edited it, and swear it's very very good. Support a local comedian, give it a watch.

Oh hey! It's been awhile. You been good? I've been alright... how are the kids? Good/bad? Cool cool.

We're still busy building the studio but that doesn't mean we can't bring you a brand new series out on the road! It's called 'Do Go On Presents: Arty Facts' and each episode explores the story behind a piece of art while sitting right in front of it. Dave Warneke, Jess Perkins and Matt Stewart report to you from all over the place - from the National Gallery of Victoria to the Heide Museum of Modern Art, Do Go On aren't afraid to make jokes right in the art's face.

The first episode is all about 'Portrait of a Lady', a piece by Mary Beale, England's first female professional painter. Dave delves into the mystery behind its subject, why it's an important piece and the Monopoly board for some reason.

There's six new episodes every Sunday premiering at 8:30pm (AEST) right here. So do go on and join us, won't you?

And an update for everyone who supported the studio move - we're getting there! Turns out construction work is tough but you know what? We're tougher. Just kidding, we're very tired and we hope it will be done soon so you can have a squiz.

Alright bye! Love you.

Another lockdown means no new Gamey Game this week but that gives you all the more time to appreciate Bec's athleticism in the latest episode. I don't know why I'm pretending someone else is typing this. Hi it's Bec. Lockdown stinks but we'll be back with you as soon as it's safe and people can feast upon my paper-towel-ball-covered-in-beer catching skills once more.

Stay safe out there!

We are sad to say that the beloved Bruce has passed away. Thanks for all the love and support you gave him since his diagnosis; he really made a mark on so many people in the short time we knew him, and he will be missed.

Oh hello fellow friends,

Pretty darn excited to be welcoming Annie and Lena to the Stupid Old family! Annie Lumsden and Lena Moon are a Melbourne comedy duo who will be popping up on the channel with six whiz-bang sketches over the next little while thanks to support from the City of Melbourne. All the sketches are adapted from their stage show 'This Is Our Pilot' which was nominated for Best Comedy at the Melbourne Fringe and which I guffawed at in real life. We hope you guffaw along too!

Cheers and best guffaws,
Bec and the Stupid Old team
