MICF Award Nominations Announced

The worst thing about the announcement Melbourne International Comedy Festival is that there isn’t enough time to see all the shows you’ve missed. But, you can give it a good go because the festival doesn’t finish until Sunday.

2015 Melbourne Comedy Festival Barry Award Nominations

• Luisa Omielan: What Would Beyonce Do?!
  This is the only nominated show I’ve seen. It’s hilarious and harrowing and has been selling out. Take a chance and find the seats that are left.
• John Kearns: Shtick
• Steen Raskopoulos: Character Assasin
• Lawrence Mooney: Surely Not
• Sam Simmons: Spaghetti For Breakfast
• Damien Power: I Can’t Believed I Cared
