Queens-raised comic Natalie Cuomo is heading to Australia for a four-city stand-up run this July.

The comedian’s debut album Shut Up You Loved It hit number one on the iTunes comedy charts, and she was recognised as one of New York Comedy Festival’s Comics To Watch in 2023 before being named a finalist in the same festival’s New York’s Funniest Competition the following year.

Beyond the stage, Natalie Cuomo hosts her own podcast Help! With Natalie Cuomo across multiple streaming platforms and has carved out a strong presence on Twitch, where she’s built a community blending stand-up and gaming. She also appeared on season 16 of Ink Master: No More Ink! on Paramount+. The Australian dates form part of a wider international touring schedule that has taken the comedian across the US and Europe throughout 2025 and 2026.

Tickets are available through Destroy All Lines. The Melbourne stop at Thornbury Theatre lands on 18 July, slotting in between east coast dates and a Perth closer.

Cuomo grew up in Queens and cut her teeth performing at venues across New York, eventually becoming a regular at The Stand in Manhattan where she also produces her own show. Her comedy leans into unfiltered personal storytelling, and a viral moment earlier this year — in which she confronted a heckler at a sold-out D.C. show — racked up millions of views and cemented her reputation for no-nonsense crowd work.
