Overview

It's a scientific fact that you can't have too much laughter — or if it isn't, it really should be. Giggling is good for you. A hearty laugh is a heck of a good workout. And checking out the hilarious stylings of up-and-coming comedians doesn't just offer amusement for eager audiences, but supports aspiring talent.

That's what's on offer at Brisbane newest funny festival, which is called Bris Funny Fest, funnily enough. Until August 28, the fresh addition to the city's cultural calendar will showcase the comic stylings of a whole host of locals that aren't quite household names yet — but one day, they just might be.

Check out caveman gags over jugs of beer, let improv masters get you guffawing, catch Brissie's take on a Chicago and New York comedy favourite, laugh along with amusing ladies, and see more sketches than Saturday Night Live has ever aired. Okay, so the last one is a bit of an exaggeration, but hey, whatever kind of comedy you're looking for, you'll probably find it here.
