The Tenth Annual Sydney Comedy Festival 2014

Overview

Put your laughing pants on Sydney, because the Sydney Comedy Festival is back and it's too much for non-laughing pants to handle (so don't say we didn't warn you).

This year marks the festival's tenth birthday, and yet the festival is giving you all the gifts. There's gifts for those who want to rip through the paper and find a stand-up comic, and gifts for those who want to gently unwrap the surprise of an offbeat and hard-to-describe show. Gifts for all comedic persuasions.

This year includes a spelling bee with dubious consequences for the English language, the funniest PowerPoint lecture around and a supremely entertaining Eastern-European (impersonator) improv team.

Here are our top ten picks and remember: laughing pants.
