Roll up, roll up, laugh-loving folks — it's that time of year. Think there's not much in common between a circus and a comedy festival? Well, both throw a feast of different acts your way for you to have a fine night out. And both will make you marvel at just what's possible — in terms of clever gags and, in comedy's case, how much more hilarity your stomach can handlee.
At this year's Brisbane Comedy Festival at Brisbane Powerhouse — the event's eighth and biggest yet — there will be more than 66 comedians performing over the course of four weeks. The best thing to do is clear your schedule, dive in and prepare to give your face a workout.
