Since it seems none of the folk who are going has started one yet, I thought I'd get the ball rolling on the roll call of who is and is not going to this year's ComFest, and what you're planning on seeing, if you're headed that way. Once again, I will not be going to ComFest myself, but am definitely looking forward to the ComFest Gala and the special episode(s?) of Good News Week that will be recorded during the festival. Anyone else want to share their plans?  | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 3    | Well, we're getting Ross Noble tickets as a wedding present... I think for the 11th of April. Other than that, no plans. Will see how we feel after the wedding I reckon. Not really all that many shows I'm dead keen to see... | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 4  | I'll be down for a week March 30 - April 6. So far I've only bought tickets to the comedy debate, but I have a long list of shows to see...I just can't remember where I put that list. I'm definitely keen to find out what the lift is like. Even if I tend to get claustrophobic when there's more than two people in a lift with me. Alisso: I saw the Delusionists 'Everything that ever happened ever' at Parramatta last week. It's not quite as good as last year's show, but they still do fantastic religious humour. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 4 | I'll be in Melbourne for Easter and seeing Frank Woodley, Spicks & Specks Remix, Mark Watson and Spamalot. May be tempted to see Tom Gleeson as a filler. Back home I'll be seeing Ross Noble and more Spicks & Specktacular! | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 4 | I saw Anthony Morgan last night, and can't WAIT for "Unrepentant". He was veering wildly between finding redemption, and spouting poisonous vitriol. Excellent. | ||

Reputation: Reputation Power: 2 | I'm going 3-13 April. I only realised in the middle of last week that I haven't got a programme yet, so put my name on the mailing list on Wednesday. Hopefully it's in the mail now... Haven't really had a good look at the shows available but Shane Warne the Musical sounds interesting. I saw a few shows in Adelaide when I was there for a wedding a couple of weeks ago (Charlie Pickering, Corinne Grant, Frank Woodley) so that's freed up a bit of time in Melbourne. Also saw Wil Anderson in Sydney last night. You know, something about that show tells me he hasn't gotten over breaking up with his girlfriend yet... | ||
