Brisbane Comedy Festival 2013

Overview

The funniest comics from Australia and across the globe will be in town between February 26 and March 24 for this year's Brisbane Comedy Festival. Be prepared for an onslaught of hilarity as comedians such as Stephen K. Amos, Sammy J & Randy, Dave O'Neil, Dave Thornton, and Hannah Gadsby take to the stage. Although you may not know their faces, you'll definitely recognise the voices of Triple J presenter, Mel Buttle and Tom Ballard, who will also tickle your funny bone.

This year's colourful bunch of comedians include well-known entertainers as well as up-and-comers. Newbies have the chance to make you giggle at the Breakout Comedy show from February 21. Another highlight of the festival is Chalkboard, a late-night session held on Friday and Saturday nights where a variety of comedians get the chance to share their new material.

Held at the Brisbane Powerhouse, this much-loved festival will make you laugh until you cry — or at least until you need to change your underwear.
