Reputation: Reputation Power: 3 | I thought the standard of the acts was very good. Better than it has been for a while. I thought that the actual package - i.e. the production of the program to be poor. Whoever was vision mixing on the day had a habit of cutting to the most miserable people in the crowd. As far as the discussion of its worth... I'm not sure. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 2 | I saw Raw live and thought the standard was great, but i wasn't so keen on the TV version. The editing messed with the material, particlarly Bec Hill and Hannah Gadsby who both had callbacks which rounded out their sets really nicely, these were just cut out, and with Paul Ayre they slaughtered the subltlety of his opening which, live, was hilarious. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 9 | I know there was some kerfuffle over the Swimming being on during the "regular" MICF time but haven't seen anything yet as to whether they're going to go at the same time or not. I'd've thought they would have announced something by now though... | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 5 | As it happens, I spotted an article from The Age about the timing of next year's festival. Initial indications are that it'll run 28th March - 22nd April, and the board are arguing to keep those dates, but as Myth mentioned, the swimming may interfere. If it does, they're looking at postponing it a week, I think.I haven't heard anything about a final decision being made, but odds are, it's either 28th March - 22nd April, or 4th April - 29th April. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 2 | Personally I can't see how the swimming would have a bearing. Knowing Melbourne, it's capable of holding multiple events at the same time, and has done quite often. I also think that the two events wouldn't attract the same people, so there wouldn't be competition.... | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 5 | I'm inclined to agree, but clearly someone important thinks the comfest shouldn't be on at the same time as another major event, or they wouldn't have delayed it for the commonwealth games. I was wrong, the article was in the Australian, not the Age. It says that the festival people also think the swimming won't be a problem, but the very fact that they have to argue that indicates that someone else doesn't necessarily agree with them. Meanwhile, visitvictoria.com.au is listing comfest as starting March 28th, 2007, but whether that's subject to change or not is debatable. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 9 | Most people only have a limited entertainment budget, or a limited going out budget or whatever. If they're forced to choose between the Swimming (which Aussies will win!) or random comedy that may or may not be good?  In theory they shouldn't clash but in practice? They probably will. It'd be a brave move to stick to the schedule methinks. | ||
