Description
Running amok from 24 March to 18 April is this city’s most-loved celebration of tomfoolery, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Leading the charge for another year of funny fun are the elite of local and international comedians offering stand-up, theatre, music, film and even the visual arts.
Last year’s audience numbers nudged the half-million mark cementing the Festival’s reputation as part of the world’s ‘Big Three’ comedy festivals, and making it one of the most-attended events on the Melbourne calendar – our biggest Festival yet.
Comedy’s finest are flying in from all corners of the globe, and they promise to stage shows that will get the whole city laughing, no matter what age, gender, ethnicity or persuasion.
From red-eye late night gigs to jokes for the juniors, the Comedy Festival is a demographic-free zone – absolutely everyone is invited to converge on the CBD grid where the vibe is high and the guffaws even louder. Its a ripper
