The Melbourne International Comedy Festival wants to know -
Can they crack The Funny Tonne?
It's the Amazing Race of comedy, the world's premier competitive audience challenge, it's a race to see 100 shows in the 2007 Melbourne Comedy Festival.
In early February, we put the call out for anyone who reckoned they had the cojones to site through an average four shows a night, every night, for four weeks. After sifting through literally some applications, we've selected these three hard-core laughers to take on the challenge:
After 10 years as a litigation lawyer, Sam has taken time off to look after his 4 young children (much harder) and do things like this (much funner)
Caitlin is a professional writer, teacher and mother of four. Some say she is a permanently tired grouch but theyıre just jealous.

I'm a 23yr old from Mt Isa QLD. I've spent the last 15yrs in a small country town so I have a lot of comedy (and teeth brushing and thumb growing etc) to catch up on. When it comes to my love of comedy I think the Funny Tonne will be Kill or Cure. I'm hoping for cure cos I'm too young to die.
