Aunty Donna are an absurdist comedy collective from Melbourne made up of Mark Samual Bonanno, Broden Kelly, Zachary Ruane, Sam Lingham, Max Miller and Thomas Zahariou. In 2020, they released their Netflix series Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun to rave reviews. Their energetic live shows have seen them sell out theatres all around the world, and they’ve created hit web series such as 1999 and Glennridge Secondary College.

In 2018, they released and toured a musical comedy album called The Album, and they’re now nearing 500 episodes of The Aunty Donna Podcast. In 2022, they released their debut book, Always Room for Christmas Pud, inspired by a cult-favourite sketch that’s been viewed over five million times.

Most recently, the group created and starred in Aunty Donna’s Coffee Café, produced for ABC and now streaming on Netflix in Australia and New Zealand. Their next world tour, DREM, is going global through 2025.
