UPDATE: MARCH 16, 2020 — Brisbane Powerhouse has announced that the final week of the Brisbane Comedy Festival will no longer go ahead, with shows cancelled from Monday, March 16 onwards. "Due to recent Australian Government advice about COVID-19, the final week of Brisbane Comedy Festival has been cancelled," organisers said in a statement.
This includes all shows at all venues — including Knockoff. Ticket holders will receive a full refund.

Feel a hankering for some chortles at this year's Brisbane Comedy Festival, but don't have the funds to fork out for any of the event's international acts? Trying to squeeze in as many laughs as possible into your life in general? Keen to finish your working week with some laughs?
All of the above situations are catered for at BCF's Knockoff. It's similar to Brisbane Powerhouse's old free comedy nights, except that those gigs now take place on a different day — and it's perfect for kicking off the weekend in the funniest way possible.
This free Friday night comedy show runs from 6pm each week between February 28–March 20, and will play host to some of the biggest up-and-comers in comedy (so, down the line, you can say you saw them when they were starting out). Just head on down to the New Farm spot and prepare to get your funny bone tickled.
