Looking for a laugh? The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow is coming to town for 2 shows!

Forget I-Spy, spotto and stale servo snacks, this road trip is jam-packed with a crew of fantastically funny comedians, specially selected to bring the fun of the Festival to towns and cities around the nation.

For 20 years the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has been touring far and wide, bringing giggles, guffaws and good times to Australia and further afield. Whether you’re in Katherine,
Quirindi, Kyneton or Cairns, you can still experience Australia’s largest and best-loved comedy festival in your own backyard. We’ve got over 80 destinations on the laugh-laden schedule, and a
line-up of artists to tickle anyone’s funny bone. The Roadshow really has something for everyone!
Grab a mate, grab a date… grab a ticket to the Roadshow!
