Silent Comedy Festival 2022
This stand-up series sees laughs from some top Aussie comedians, delivered via headphones.
Overview
The laughs are served up a little differently at The Arbory's annual MICF series, the Silent Comedy Festival. Returning for another round of hilarious stand-up showcases from Wednesday, March 30, the fan favourite event sees some of Australia's top comics taking to the riverside stage to perform... in total silence. Or at least, that's how it appears from the outside.
Rather, audience members enjoy the stand-up acts through noise-cancelling headphones; kind of like what you'd expect from a silent disco. Running Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights throughout MICF (until April 21, with the exception of April 19), the Silent Comedy shows will each feature a trio of side-splitting comedians, with Fox Sports funnyman Andrew Barnett in the role of MC. Included on this year's bill are the likes of Jimeoin, Bev Killick, Luke Heggie, Lawrence Mooney and Dilruk Jayasinha.
Tickets are $25, which gets you an evening full of chuckles, plus a pair of headphones to use for the night. And if you fancy some refreshments, you'll also find a $25 MICF pre-show burger and beer special, teaming your pick of Arbory burger with a schooner of Mountain Goat summer ale.
