Comedy Roulette
Ready to roll with laughter? Come see standup comedy with a TWIST – audience spins the wheel, comedians crack improvised jokes! A fresh lineup of Australia's top comedians every night, you'll see their cogs turn as they 'SPIN THAT WHEEL' in this hilarious game of chance and wit. It's a must-see Melbourne favourite.
How does it work? The audience spins the wheel & comedians deliver both sharp sets, and off-the-cuff jokes based on surprise topics. From “worst date story” to “self-help book titles that won’t sell,” every spin adds suspense, spontaneity and side-splitting laughs. See your TV and radio favorites, and rising stars turning every show into a hilarious game of chance. Who will win tonight?
