Overview
A horde of local and international joke makers will be descending on our fair city over the next few weeks as part of the 3rd annual Brisbane Comedy Festival. If you are yet to bare witness to the festival, our advice is to make sure you leave your nanna at home (naughty words are well and truly part of the vocab here) and bring your funny bone because this is Queensland's largest comedy festival and laughing is the name of the game. Topping the bill for 2011 will be American actress Lily Tomlin, Scottish sensation Danny Bhoy, British comedian Stephen K Amos, Australian wise cracker Wil Anderson and Brisbane's favourite Gen Y boy, Josh Thomas.
Australia's adopted son Arj Barker will also be joining the festival for the first time this year with his show Let me do the talking. If you've bared witness to Barker's laid back and witty stand up before, or caught him on the hilarious HBO series Flight of the Concords, you'll know he's one comedian you won't want to miss. Other Brisbane favourites including Tom Ballard, Denise Scott, Tom Gleeson and Dave O'Neill will also be hot shows on the festival line up this year. And for those looking for a night of shameful inappropriateness, Heath Franklin will be appearing as Chopper for one hilarious night of Chooper's F**kin Bingo.
