Overview
A couple hundred comedians walked into a bar. And then a theatre. And then a club. And then the Melbourne Town Hall. Brace your funny bone because it's Melbourne International Comedy Festival time — and this year's lineup down not disappoint.
Alex Edelman, Arj Barker, David O'Doherty and Stephen K. Amos are just some of the big international acts who'll come flying into town (and, boy, will their arms be tired). They'll share the stage with high-profile locals acts including Becky Lucas, Anne Edmonds, Charlie Pickering and Lawrence Leung. And that's to say nothing of the endless amateurs and up-and-comers who'll by cracking jokes through the festival, which runs from March 28 right through until April 22.
