Melbourne Comedy Fest
Pack your down underwear, the Melbourne International Comedy Fest is happening through the 29th of this month.
An annual event, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival literally takes over Australia’s comedy capital, Melbourne, each autumn with an enormous program of stand-up comedy, cabaret, theatre, street performance, film, television, radio and visual arts.
The Festival was launched in 1987 by Barry Humphries and Peter Cook.
We had no idea that Dame Edna and Dudley Moore’s old comedy partner had a hand in starting this party.
They describe it as “one of the three largest comedy festivals in the world, alongside Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival,” which sound so much better than “the third largest.”
