Starship Q Star is an award-winning sci-fi comedy: When a space agency sends the “first all woman and non-binary crew” on a blatant PR mission to Mars, they inadvertently end up the last six humans in the universe. Lead by Co-Captains (and exes) Aurelia and Sim, Starship Q Star follows this madcap crew on their quest across the galaxy in search of a new home... which is basically one hilarious mishap after the other.
Recently winning Silver at the Signal Awards for Best Writing (Fiction), this Aussie sitcom has picked up awards across the globe including Best Fiction Podcast at Sydney Web Fest, Best Comedy at LA Webfest, Outstanding Comedy at New Jersey Web Fest, and took out the 2023 Audio Fiction World Cup.

Customer Reviews
The double Aussie Janeways I never knew I needed
This show comes out of the gate strong. Incredibly funny and well-written.
When are we getting a live action?
In a time where quality queer content is getting canceled one after the other, in walks the perfect antidote! This production has all the gay mixed with clever dialogue, phenomenal performances, and high quality sound design. Can’t wait for future seasons!
As Good As It Gets
I’d give this 100 stars if I could because this show has it ALL:
- Witty & Clever Writing
- Top Tier Performances
- Incredible Sound Design
- Australians
- A spaceship filled with LESBIANS! Like, HELLO!
Every episode makes me howl with laughter. You feel lighter after listening and in the times we are in, we all need that now!
