In 2022, Janty won the Deadly Funny Grand Final at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. She then started performing at festivals across Australia and the world, including Blakout, as part of the Brisbane Comedy festival and with the Aboriginal Comedy All Stars at the Edinburgh Fringe festival that same year.

Janty has many years’ experience organising forums and workshops, facilitating education sessions, hosting and participating in NAIDOC and reconciliation week events. With a love for creative industries and a passion for social justice, Janty uses her stage presence and platform in comedy and keynote speaking to bring joy as well as empower individuals and communities to action.
