Comedy duo Freudian Nip set to host 46th AWARD Awards Ceremony on Thurs 14 August in Sydney

AWARD has confirmed that Freudian Nip — the comedy duo of Vic Zerbst (right) and Jenna Owen (left) — will host the 46th AWARD Awards Ceremony on Thursday 14 August in Sydney, bringing wit and some well-placed chaos to the creative community’s most prestigious night of the year.

As the finale to This Way Up, AWARD’s annual Advertising Festival of Creativity, the event will toast the region’s most awarded campaigns and breakthrough talent, all through the piercing lens of two of Australia’s most fearless cultural commentators.

Zerbst and Owen are best known for weaving comedy into social issues of the day as part of their Logie-winning comedy collective turned media juggernaut, whose work spans everything from The Feed (SBS) and The Chaser’s War on 2020 (ABC), to the headline-grabbing Optics (ABC) and the very-funny Nugget Is Dead (Stan).

They also work in the industry as directors at Collider, recently helming campaigns for TBWA and Saatchi & Saatchi. Fresh off the back of presenting the ARIAs and MC’ing ADG Awards, they’ll bring equal parts satire, sass and smarts to a room full of adland’s most awarded — and award-hungry — creatives. Expect big laughs, bigger wins and a few uncomfortable truths that hit a little too close to home.

The 46th AWARD Awards will celebrate creative excellence from across the APAC region, announcing all Gold, Silver and Bronze winners and revealing AWARD School’s National Top Student for 2025. Expect epic work, and a room full of the industry’s finest toasting the industry’s best. Get your tickets at thiswayup.com.au
