Anne Elizabeth Gabrielle Edmonds is one of Australia's most exciting new stand-up, character and banjo-playing comedians.
Having burst onto the comedy scene in 2010 as a national finalist in Raw Comedy, Anne has performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival (where she was nominated for Best Emerging Comedy Talent), the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Seattle International Comedy Competition and the New York Comedy Festival – and was voted Spleen "Comic of the Year" by her fellow comedians in 2014.

She returned to Australia and toured her new show That's Eddotainment, which was nominated for the Barry Award at the 2016 Melbourne International Comedy Festival. That's Eddotainment was also chosen to be recorded for the ABC2 Next Gen series of comedy specials., to be broadcast late in 2016.
