Back again for another year, the Brisbane Comedy Festival will be hosted at the
Brisbane Powerhouse, starting late February and running most of March.
Australian and international comedians will perform at the festival and highlights include crowd favourite
Stephen K. Amos who brings to the festival, his show entitled
The Spokesman, Triple J presenter
Mel Buttle, with
How Embarrassment and
Tom Ballard My Ego Is Better Than Your Ego.
You can also catch
Dave O'Neil in
33 Things I Should Have Said No To,
Hannah Gadsby in
Happiness Is A Bedside Table and
Josh Thomas in
Douchebag.
Don't miss Scottish comedian
Danny Bhoy in
Dear Epson,
Damien Power in
The Disillusioned Ego and
Tom Gleeson in
Hello Bitches!
I've just listed some highlights but with over 30 comedians performing, you'd be mad not to take some time, right now, to have a look through the schedule and book your tickets without delay.
And make sure to have a look at
Chalkboard, a late-night session held Friday and Saturday nights during the festival, where a selection of comedians try out their new material. Tickets are only $15 and go on sale at midday of the day of the show.
The Brisbane Comedy Festival runs Tuesday 26 February until Sunday 24 March at the Brisbane Powerhouse.
