Amelia Jane Hunter: Day Drinker, Inspiring Godmother, And She Probably Knows Your Mum.
Amelia Jane Hunter is not just a comedian; she’s an entire experience—a raucous, riotous, rib-tickling ride through life’s most scandalous, strange, and spectacular corners. Originally from Australia, where the fauna is venomous and the humor dry, Amelia now splits her time between Berlin, the land of smoldering stares and immaculate cheekbones, and Barcelona, a city as sizzling and saucy as she is. Think of her as a comedy tornado: she’s bold, brazen, and absolutely unstoppable, leaving laughter and a touch of confusion in her wake.
The Many (Hilarious) Faces of Amelia
Amelia is the kind of woman who’s lived several lifetimes’ worth of stories—and thank the comedy gods she’s here to share them with us. She’s a trained actress, a seasoned bushwalking guide (yes, that’s apparently a thing), and a self-described vagabond hedonist. If there’s a dungeon in Berlin or a debauched dinner party in Barcelona, Amelia has probably graced it with her presence and maybe accidentally burned it down metaphorically.
Chortle Comedy said it best: "She prowls the stage like a caged animal." But it’s a caged animal that’s well-read, sex-positive, and dangerously funny. Her stories are poetic, her punchlines are razor-sharp, and her energy is infectious. You don’t just laugh; you feel seen, shaken, and slightly worried about your own life choices.
Awards, Accolades, and Adventures
Let’s talk about the hardware. Amelia isn’t just funny—she’s award-winning funny. Winner of the Thessaloniki Fringe Festival 2024, Melbourne International Comedy Festival Awards, and the Sydney Comedy Festival Director’s Prize, among others, Amelia has charmed audiences from Edinburgh to the Outback.
But awards aren’t the point here. Amelia’s real magic lies in her ability to challenge societal norms while making you laugh so hard your drink shoots out of your nose. Whether she’s taking on power structures, patriarchy, or the absurdities of modern dating, Amelia does it with a wink, a whip-smart wit, and a healthy dose of compassion.
LGBTQ+ Icon? Probably.
We are sure Amelia fits somewhere in the LGBTQ+ acronym, but we’re not entirely sure which letter—though it’s undoubtedly the coolest one. She’s a champion for individuality, a beacon of body positivity, and an unapologetic advocate for kink and compassion. If Samantha from Sex and the City had the vocabulary of Stephen Fry and a penchant for Berlin's underground, she’d still be only half as fabulous as Amelia.
What’s Next?
Catch Amelia Jane Hunter hosting comedy nights at Soho House in Berlin or Barcelona, where her wicked wit meets her sharp sartorial style. Her solo shows continue to sell out, leaving audiences deliriously entertained and slightly scandalized. She’s the antidote to dull nights, the carnival ride you didn’t know you needed, and the comedian whose stories you’ll be telling your friends for weeks (possibly without the kids around).
So, if you haven’t experienced Amelia Jane Hunter yet, get ready. She’s defiant, deliciously cynical, and completely uncensored—a brilliant tour de force that will leave you breathless. And honestly, what more could you want?
Check her out at ameliajanehunter.com or on Instagram at @ameliajanehunter to keep up to date with her upcoming presentations. Just don’t blame us if she inspires you to quit your day job, book a one-way ticket to a destination unknown, and start a revolution. That’s just what she does.
