Overview

Footscray Laughs is back for another run this year — bigger, better and funnier than ever. It's all kicking off on June 16 at Footscray Community Arts Centre, which you'll find tucked away on Moreland Street.

If you managed to catch the sell-out show in March, you'll know how good this one is, and the June lineup sounds like a banger. Lizzy Hoo, Aurelia St Clair, Rerose Roro, Rowan Thambar, Maddy Weeks and Woah Alyssa! are all hitting the performance space.

You've probably heard these names around the traps before. Hoo has sold out shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and performed at the 2021 Oxfam Gala. Woah Alyssa! (also known as newly ex-boyfriends Col and Fil) have amassed a cult following with their award-nominated sketch shows. And Rowan Thambar is a regular writer for The Project on Channel 10, and has performed on Triple J, NOVA and ABC Radio National.

Tickets are $29 to $34, depending on seating and the event runs from 8pm to 10pm. Afterwards, we thoroughly recommend kicking on to Barkly Street for some Ethiopian food at Ras Dashen.
