Sick of the GFC and need a good old laugh?

Sick of the GFC and need a good old laugh?

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival might just be your answer. This furious festival takes over Melbourne every autumn and sits alongside Edinburgh and Montreal as one of the biggest in the world.

  • The festival has an enormous program of stand-up comedy ... so why not rally the troops together for a night of laughs? If you’re not a Victorian, check out other comedy shows in your area – click here for stacks of upcoming comedy events all over the country, and head out for a big chuckle.
  • If you can't make it to a show, get your fill of the funnies by hosting a comedy DVD night at home – show some old faves like Seinfeld, Fawlty Towers, Friends, or Monty Python; or more recent series such as The Office, Flight of the Conchords, or Two and a Half Men.
  • Send an e-invite and keep the planning simple and fun – laughter is a great way to wind down and de-stress!
