Blake Freeman, There's Something There

What can people expect from your show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival?

This is my debut hour-show in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival so you can expect an excited little boy trying his best.

SHOWS TO SEE WITH YOUR PARENTS

HOW TO GET MORE LAUGHS FOR YOUR MONEY

Tell us what you’ve been up to since last time you were here.

Since last year’s comedy festival I’ve been doing shows all over the country and eating food from all over the world.

Spruik it! Who should see your show, and why?

My show is me doing stand-up for an hour. So if you like stand-up comedy, or hours, you should come see my show.

What’s your No. 1 tip for people coming to see a show at the comedy festival?

Go into every show with an open mind. It might not be your thing, but it’s always nice to support someone following their dreams.

Which other comedians/shows are you keen to see at this year’s festival, and why?

I’m keen to see Aidan Jones, Sonia Di Iorio, Peter Jones, Luka Muller and Zack Dyer.

All Melbourne comedians. All crushers.

What stands out to you about Melbourne?

The number one thing that stands out to me about Melbourne is the frickin’ fun you can have on a day off.

Who or what is your comedic inspiration, and why?

I would say my comedy idol is Sinbad.

To me, just the way he works a crowd is phenomenal.

Anything else you want us to know about you or your show?

Please come and watch my comedy festival. I’m good at comedy and, most importantly, I am a good boy.
