The 37th Melbourne International Comedy Festival came to a close last night (Sunday 21 April) after nearly a month, with the winners of the various prizes announced in a jovial ceremony at the Toff on Saturday afternoon.
The big winner was Sarah Keyworth, the British stand-up who took out the Award for Most Outstanding Show, with My Eyes Are Up Here. A moved Keyworth took to the stage declaring that they’d already been crying listening to other winners accepting their prizes, saying wryly that it’s one thing to have successful top surgery, but that periods can still have an effect.
