Cal Wilson came across the Tasman in 2003 and has gone on to become one of our most popular comedians, a perennial favourite on television shows such as Have You Been Paying Attention?, Spicks and Specks, Good News Week and Thank God You’re Here. Her stand up shows are as engaging as they are hilarious, often bringing the audience’s stories to life alongside her own.
Current work
Cal’s brand new live show Hindsight will be touring Australia in 2018.

I can say on behalf of everyone at Banksia that Cal Wilson was an absolute delight to work with. We had to change the order of proceedings for the evening at the very last moment, but nothin ... keep reading Banksia
Highly professional, dealt with last minute changes to the running order in a relaxed and courteous manner. No request was ever too difficult. Cal Wilson did not miss a beat - including attention to detail regarding pronunciation of items in script. She kept the audience laughing and entertained throughout the whole evening.
Cal was professional and worked the brief well, she was able to use some of the material provided and made her performance relevant to the group. I would recommend Cal for other Fosters events.
Cal's presentation was delivered at just the right level for the audience who were ready for a good laugh and some much needed light relief!
The most positive comments from management that I have ever received. Cal went out of her way to learn about the organisation and to include this knowledge in her comedy.
