[SECTION][/SECTION]

Maybe it's the weather that's producing a flurry of freebie events everywhere this month and Brisbane is no exception. There's so much happening that I've had to expand July's list from 5 to 7 so you don't miss out on anything. You can satisfy your thirst for cultural, community and indigenous events, comedy, tertiary studies, food and my personal favourite, beer. Here's cheers.


[SECTION]Young Blood Comedy All Stars[/SECTION]

Young Blood Comedy was born out of the fact that young comedians are unable to perform at open mic nights at regular Brisbane venues because you must be 18. Come and see a range of talented comic performers at Young Blood Comedy All Stars at Brisbane Powerhouse. Performers range from those who've only wielded the mic on a couple of occasions to finalists in the Class Clowns national comedy competition.


When: Saturday 14 July at 7.15pm.
Where: Brisbane Powerhouse
What's On: Stand up open mic comedy performances by Brisbane's brightest new comics.
More Information: The event is free but you must RSVP by emailing [email protected]

[SECTION]Home Festival 2012[/SECTION]

The organisers of Home Festival aim to "share with the community a sense of belonging, inclusivity, learning, expression and most importantly, fun!". This is a real grass-roots festival where everyone involved is a volunteer. You can celebrate "home" with workshops delivered by locals with a skill to share, Suitcase Rummage, stalls, story telling and much more.


When: Saturday 21 July 2012 from 11am to 7pm.
Where: Raymond Park, Kangaroo Point (just behind the Pineapple Hotel).
What's On: One of the great features of this year's event is a time out zone where little ones can read or rest. There will also be a bar, an amateur home brew competition, a range of entertainment and spoken word performances.
