The “Melbourne International Comedy Festival” selects for its annual international roadtrip some of their best and award winning comedians to spread Australian humour around the world.
This time five comedians (Sharul Channa, Phil Wang, Ivan Aristeguieta, Bob Franklin, Damien Power) have been selected to come to Penang and to create a diverse line up which will keep you in stitches and have you falling off your seats with laughter. These artists represent a variety of styles and come from different ethnic backgrounds and walks of life. All of them are award winning artists who don’t just excel in stand up comedy, but have also acted in movies and TV productions in Europe, North America and Asia with great success.
Launched in 1987 the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has grown to be Australia’s largest cultural event. It is selling more tickets than any other Australian Festival. It is now one of the three largest comedy festivals in the world.
