2009 COMEDY FESTIVAL ROADSHOW
Now the festival is over the comedians have left the building...to hit the road!
After being cooped up in the dark rooms of Melbourne for close to a month, the Comedy Festival 's most adventourous (and bravest) comedians are chomping at the bit to break out from the barriers and hit the road for a whistle-stop tour of this great Southern land.
Now in it's 11th year, the Roadshow shares the Comedy Festival vibe with punters outside the Melbourne area code. From Ararat, to Wagga Wagga, Alice Springs to Whyalla, a cast of big local names, newcomers, and overseas guests prove there's no where a comedian fears to tread.
"The Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow has such chalk and cheese personalities delivering such a wide assortment of gags, it has everyone's humour covered" The Sunday Times, WA
Join us for a hootenanny of a good time... All aboard for the Comedy Festival Roadshow!
Roadshow performances may contain coarse language, sexual references and material that can offend. It is not recommended for children under the age of 15.
