The inaugural Darwin Comedy Festival – presented by Darwin Entertainment Centre – features everyone from local NT talents and the Aboriginal Comedy Allstars (Andy Saunders, Elaine Crombie, Janty Blair, Jay Wymarra, Kevin Kropinyeri and Sean Choolburra) through to award-winning and big name comedians Geraldine Hickey, Sammy J, Celeste Barber and Nazeem Hussain.
“And so we decided that this was … an opportunity – we all know how successful and how popular comedy is in Melbourne, in Adelaide and in other cities, and we felt like it was Darwin’s turn,” Hendy says.
