Stanmore Public School’s own Emily Martin (4B) has taken home the top prize at this year’s Sydney Comedy Festival Kids Competition with her hilarious stand-up routine.

Emily impressed judges and audiences alike with her witty set - playfully poking fun at her parents - which earned her a spot in the final at the Factory Theatre in May. Performing alongside a line-up of talented young comedians, Emily delivered a standout performance and took out the top honour in the competition.

As part of her prize, Emily will perform again at the Sydney Comedy Festival Showcase: PG Edition at the Comedy Store on Saturday 14 June. It’s a family-friendly night of laughs, featuring the festival’s top comedians - without the rude bits!

Well done, Emily - we can’t wait to see where you go from here.
