If laughter really is the best medicine, then Brisbane Comedy Festival is a booster shot of pure, concentrated hilarity injected straight into your hypothalamus – the part of your brain that plays a key role in the production of loud, uncontrollable chortling, guffawing and crying with laughter.
Running from 23 April to 25 May, this year’s Festival takes place over Brisbane Powerhouse, The Tivoli, Fortitude Music Hall and The Princess Theatre – and is being billed as the biggest, boldest and funniest instalment of the Festival to date.
