Oz Comic-Con is returning to Brisbane and Sydney this September, bringing a stellar line-up of fan-favourite guests to both cities. With an electric atmosphere, unforgettable cosplay and immersive pop culture experiences, this year’s events are set to be the ultimate celebration of fandom across screen, page and beyond.
Leading the first wave of announced guests is headliner Alex Brightman, the two-time Tony Award nominee celebrated for his standout roles on Broadway in Beetlejuice and School of Rock. He also voices the fan-favourite character Fizzarolli in the hit animated series Helluva Boss. Brightman’s dynamic presence across stage and screen makes him a must-see at this year’s event.
Joining him is Katie Cassidy, best known for her iconic role as Laurel Lance / Black Canary in the Arrowverse and her early appearances as Ruby on Supernatural. She’ll be joined by DJ Qualls, the cult favourite whose work spans Supernatural, Z Nation, Road Trip and The Man in the High Castle.
Also on the guest list is Ty Olsson, beloved for his portrayal of Benny in Supernatural, and known more widely for his roles in Wynonna Earp and The 100.
Adding to the excitement is Renée O’Connor, known for her iconic role as Gabrielle in Xena: Warrior Princess. Long-time fans of cult television will be thrilled to see her grace the Brisbane and Sydney stages, especially as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the series. Rounding out the guest announcements for the time being, anime fans will be thrilled by the appearance of Tara Sands, whose credits span Pokémon, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece and Hunter x Hunter.
