ANNE EDMONDS

DANNY MCGINLAY

Anne returns to Brisbane with a brand new hour of stand-up. She won the Comic’s Choice Award at Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2015, had a massive year and is quite frankly one of Australia’s most exciting and original stand-up comedians. A banjo, a jig, a lady claiming to be a pig—“That's Eddotainment”!

What did you do for your Muck Up Day? Danny McGinlay got arrested. It’s the conversation topic that ignites the competitive juices of every graduate, now destined to become a relic of the past as more and more schools outlaw the practice. Danny McGinlay (Utopia, The Project) tells the story Victoria Police have kept suppressed for 15 years.

CLASS CLOWNS

TITANIC: THE MOVIE THE PLAY

The search is on for Australia’s funniest teens! Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s one-of-a-kind, national secondary school comedy competition is open to people aged 14–18 (Years 9–12). Register your standup, sketch, physical or musical act for free, or be part of the audience! For more info go to classclowns.com.au

Strap on your life jacket and get ready to board this shameless homage to the most epic romance of the 90s. Join aristocratic Kate and lowborn Leo as they discover love, loss and a lack of lifeboats on board the “unsinkable” ocean liner. There’s a rogue iceberg out for revenge, and (spoilers!) not everyone will survive. But if you’re lucky, you might get to have sex in a car.

THAT’S EDDOTAINMENT!
