It's that time again: when hundreds of funny people vie for your chuckles in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Join us as we meet the talented people behind the laughs, offer our tips for doing the festival right and our picks of the program.
April in Melbourne sees most stages taken over by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival (check out our guide and top picks) but that doesn't mean there's no theatre around the traps. In fact, the Comedy Festival itself includes one of the most popular Australian plays of recent years, Single Asian Female. Muriel's Wedding the Musical continues to pick up fans, while the MTC's gripping production of A View from the Bridge is playing for most of the month.
