Cafe co-owner Nick Gleeson said the comedians were eager to return to the stage after the coronavirus pandemic halted performances for several months and people need a good laugh.
"They are super excited to be performing in front of a live audience, both are returning, both are keen as mustard to get back into it," Mr Gleeson said.

"We are doing a couple of sessions because of out square metres, we are doing 25 per show but we are doing four shows over the weekend.

"We've had out health inspector come through with the COVID plan ... and we went through it with them," Mr Gleeson said.
"The way we are going to do it has been cleared by the health department, we went through it with them."
