Why Book Samantha Day?

Samantha’s background as a single mum at the very top of the business world gives her a rare understanding of professional pressure — and her comedy career proves that reinvention is always possible. She delivers engaging, insightful, and laugh-filled sessions that connect powerfully with audiences.

Her talks have been described as “comedy with purpose” — entertaining, moving, and impossible to forget (even with therapy!).

Samatha Day | Comedian

Samantha Day is familiar with the joys and frustrations of corporate life, having spent 30 years in the city.  And then, six years ago, she swapped spreadsheets for stand-up – and what a turnaround. She is a fearless and refreshingly honest comedian whose unique blend of wit, warmth, and self-deprecating humour has captivated audiences across the country. Brilliantly observational, her comedy draws from real life — marriage to the long-suffering Mr Day, motherhood to a gaggle of millennials and Gen Z offspring, and the small absurdities of everyday existence — all delivered with a perfectly timed punchline and a hefty dose of heart.

Whether she’s performing at sold-out clubs, corporate events, or festivals, Samantha brings an irresistible energy to the stage. She’s the friend who tells you the truth, makes you laugh, and somehow makes life’s messiest moments feel like they were worth it, just for the stories.
