FESTIVAL EVENTS NOW ON SALE!
It may only be January but we’re already working hard to get events on sale for you comedy lovers. From today you can get tickets to three hot Festival shows – with more to come next week.
Ireland’s David O’Doherty is making his way back down under this year and tickets are sure to sell fast. If you saw him last year you’ll know what a fun night out you’ll have at a David O’Doherty gig. If you missed out then why not pick up the phone right now and book your tickets. At the same time why not get yourself a ticket to see 2005 Perrier Best Newcomer Nominee Mark Watson with his show 50 years before death and the awful prospect of eternity. He might not be a household name in Australia yet but he’s got a huge following in the UK and we’re sure Melbourne’s going to love him. For something a little different, check out Spymonkey with their comedy horror spoof Cooped. These guys are fresh from a season in Las Vegas with Cirque du Soleil and their hilarious comedy play has been described as “utterly infectious. A perfect paced hybrid of The Pink Panther and Psycho.” (The Independent, UK)
