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)

To book you tickets call Ticketmaster on 1300 660 013. Visit www.ticketmaster.com.au or drop into any Ticketmaster outlet.

Next week more of your favourites will be on sale including:
• Demetri Martin (he was such a hit last year that he’s back!)
• Arj Barker
• Glenn Wool
• Best of the Edinburgh Fest (this year starring The Doo Wops, Rhod Gilbert and Gordon Southern)
• Stephen K Amos
• Tom Gleeson
• Moosehead recipients Penny Tangey, Damian Callinan. Richard McKenzie
• Ross Noble
• Jimeoin
• The Cooking Show with Bob Franklin and Jimeoin

And remember there are still tickets available to Upfront 12, The Great Debate and the Raw Comedy National Grand Final

The countdown to the 2006 Melbourne International Comedy Festival is well and truly on. And with a ticket in your hand the excitement will feel even closer! Keep checking in at www.comedyfestival.com.au for more on sale announcements. The full program will be released on 24 February.

Starting?

Probably more likely they just don't want to go to Adelaide.

Everybody go see Glenn Wool, go see him, laugh, laugh at his face and the hair that is on it. He is a friend, an extreeeeemly funny man and a lover, not a fighter.

Could it be that Paul got money for his short film The Girl Who Swallowed Bees and he is working on that? Just checked AFC, and he got the funding in October 2005. I have no idea how long it takes to make a short animation or put together a festival show.

[Alisso]

Could be something to do with the show he's supposed to be doing for the ABC this year? Although there hasn't been much info about that yet...

[Spawn of Satan]

Nah I think Myth's got it right, it's Adelaide, it's the ass-end of the world.

Glen wool is good, although a tad bit on the odd side :P

[dermo]

Nothing wrong with being a bit on the odd side *eg*

Do you mean .com not .com.au? .au goes nowhere.

Still not sure how it proves Adelaide is the comedy capital though.
