Mitchell Frost and Fire’s ambassador

The comedian and digital creator from little ol' Bogan Gate is coming home next weekend to be the official ambassador for the Frost and Fire festival in Forbes.

And he'll be bringing his quick wit and down-to-earth charm with him.

Frost and Fire organisers announced Mitchell Coombs as their 2025 ambassador on Saturday, ahead of the magical evening under starry skies that celebrates the Winter Solstice on 21 June.

With a 400,000 following across social media, Mitchell and his unique sense of humour is adored by audiences nationwide.

Whether he’s sharing funny moments from his personal life, including on the family farm at Bogan Gate, or putting his own spin on viral trends, Mitchell has been described as someone who always keeps it real, and always keeps us laughing.

Mitchell's signature style and energy will be on full display to help make this year’s event one of the most unforgettable yet.

We first met Mitchell almost 10 years ago while at university when his entertaining video tour of Bogan Gate went viral, and led to national recognition and an appearance on Sunrise.

He's since worked in radio, records podcasts and began stand-up comedy four years ago - all while continuing to film content for his social media platforms and living in Sydney.

Mitchell was also spotted at the Parkes Picnic Races on the weekend.

Mitchell isn't the only Parkes Shire talent making an appearance at this year's Frost and Fire.
