Brisbane Comedy Festival 2023 Multicultural Comedy Gala

Overview

If you're looking for laughs, there's no wrong way to dive into a comedy festival program. Already splitting your sides just thinking about the big-name headliners? Keen on new comic discoveries? Like late-night giggles? They're all options. And, at the 2023 Brisbane Comedy Festival, so is celebrating both cultural and comedic diversity during one hilarious afternoon at the fest's Multicultural Comedy Gala.

In Brisbane Powerhouse's Powerhouse Theatre from 4pm on Saturday, May 13, five supremely funny folks will make all the jokes they can — well, as many as they can fit into a gala set. On the bill: He Huang, Andy Saunders, Khaled Khalafalla, Neel Kolhatkar and Fiona O'Loughlin.

That roster of talent means a lineup that spans everything from recent national RAW Comedy finalists to veterans.

John Safran is also part of the fun, taking on hosting duties — aka adding his comedic stylings between the night's other stars.
