Welcome to our bumper April edition, celebrating the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Irish comedy sensation Catherine Bohart graces our front cover, while inside you’ll find interviews with the acclaimed likes of Adam Kay, Lara Ricote, Annie Boyle, Alexandra Hudson, Danielle Walker and far too many other brilliant comedians to mention in this brief introduction. We also have a seven-page rundown of some of the best shows to see this year, in addition to a specific guide for the Comedy Festival’s beloved annual special events.
We also make room for our usual album reviews and festival, stage, venue and gig guides. Plus we have excellent interviews with Saints’ legend Ed Kuepper, breakout Melbourne punks Screensaver and rock trailblazers Hoodoo Gurus before they play around the city this month. Finally, we preview Record Store Day with Discrepancy Records, and Behind The Lines, the exhibition of Australia’s best political cartoons coming to the Old Treasury Building.
