YOUR GUIDE TO THE MELBOURNE COMEDY FESTIVAL
What have you been up to since last time you were here?
Since my last show, I’ve been mainly lying on the couch watching footy, pondering why AFLX exists and blaming David Warner for everything bad that happens in the world.
Who should see your show, and why?
Not only is a night of sport comedy a great night out, but it’s also the perfect first date. Everyone who came on a first date last year is now married.
Who or what is your comedic inspiration, and why?
The Carlton Football Club. No other organisation has made so many people laugh this century.
