Melbourne Comedy Festival returns

The 2021 festival is set to feature a line up of the best and brightest comedians – and these are some of the very best household names and rising stars. Six-time People’s Choice Award winner Wil Anderson will reprise his critically-acclaimed show Wilegal; Tommy Little and Tom Gleeson will take over The Comedy Theatre with their brand new shows; and after selling out their seasons at the Malthouse Outdoor Stage, Lano & Woodley will serve up an encore season with a mixture of brand new and classic material, while Anne Edmonds and Lloyd Langford will join forces for a special double bill.

Plus there will be shows from the likes of Adam Hills, Bec Charlwood, Ben Kochan, Brett Blake, Cal Wilson, Damien Power, Dave Thornton, Dilruk Jayasinha, Geraldine Hickey, Greg Larsen, Kit Richards, Lewis Garnham, Lizzy Hoo, Mel Buttle, Nath Valvo, Nikki Britton, Peter Helliar, Sam Taunton, Tom Ballard and Zoë Coombs Marr

And as always, the much loved and traditional grand finale to the festival, the Moosehead Benefit will return with a secret line up at the Melbourne Town Hall on the final night of the festival.

TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY 8 FEBRUARY AT COMEDY.COM.AU or HERE
