Comedy fans in Moorabbin and surrounding suburbs will want to mark their diaries, as the Melbourne International Comedy Festival will be extending its reach and bringing top-quality Australian and overseas talent to Moorabbin this month.
The Kingston Arts Centre will be part of the "Comedy Commute", an initiative by the festival to bring top-line comedians out of the CBD and into the suburbs. The Moorabbin show will be MC'd by Dolly Diamond and will feature UK comedian Carl Donnelly. Emerging talent Josh Glanc will join Diamond and Donnelly, alongside the well-known stand-up comedienne Bev Killick. The award-winning Luke Heggie and newcomer Blake Freeman will round out the show.
The Melbourne International Comedy Festival started in 1987. It is now the second largest in the world and takes over Melbourne every year with over 200 nightly shows. The festival organisers have initiated this format so that residents of outer suburbs can access the very best of comedy without worrying about transport into and out of the Melbourne CBD. The organisers put a lot of effort into the festival’s graphic design, to the point that famous artist Michael Leunig was the designer from 1988 to 2018.
Poster printing often plays a massive part of the advertising of comedy shows like this.
The Melbourne International Comedy Festival will be entertaining Moorabbin on April 16th at 8pm. The event will be COVID-safe and licensed, but it will also have an all-ages section.
