Canberra Comedy Festival

The Canberra Comedy Festival is one of the most highly anticipated events on the Australian comedy calendar. With a line-up of some of the funniest international, national and local comedians, the festival promises to deliver plenty of laughs and good times for audiences of all ages.

Held in the heart of Canberra, the festival runs for several days and features a range of different shows and performances. From stand-up comedy to improv, sketch comedy to musical comedy, there’s something for all tastes at the Canberra Comedy Festival.

One of the highlights of the festival is the Gala Night, which brings together some of the biggest names in Australian comedy for a night of side-splitting laughter. The Gala Night is a popular event and always sells out fast, so be sure to get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

In addition to the Gala Night, there are a range of other shows and performances to enjoy. From solo shows by up-and-coming comedians to ensemble performances by some of the best-known names in the business.

One of the great things about the festival is that it takes place in a range of different venues throughout Canberra. From theatres and comedy clubs to bars and outdoor spaces, there’s a diverse range of locations to choose from, each with its own unique atmosphere and vibe.

Whether you’re a die-hard comedy fan or just looking for a fun night out with friends, the Canberra Comedy Festival is an event not to be missed. With its fantastic line-up of comedians, great venues, and friendly atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to enjoy some of the best comedy Australia has to offer.
