HELLO FROM THE CANBERRA COMEDY FESTIVAL TEAMWe are pleased that Canberra Comedy Festival has been welcomed by the Canberra region as a permanent fixture on the events calendar, and that we can present such a diverse program of comedy for our 3rd annual festival.This festival we welcome an array of talent from all over the world, including Ireland, UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and more, as well as some great talent from Australia and right here in Canber-ra. This year we have partnered with Canberra Theatre Centre to present more big shows at the venue, as well as partnering with Enlighten Festival to co-present the multi-award winning comedy theatre trilogy Bane from the UK.A couple of the great successes from the 2014 festival were the kids shows and late night Festival Club. This year we welcome those back and expand on their programming further, while also adding some new elements such as free street performances. Make sure you stay tuned to our website/Facebook/Twitter/App for further announcements and details.With so much on, it can be difficult to decide what to see. A festival is all about discovery; so go and see your favourite comedians, but also consider taking a punt on a fresh act that you haven’t seen before.

From the Canberra Comedy Festival Team:Tim, Paddy, Benjamin, James and Dave

WELCOME FROM THE CHIEF MINISTER

It is a pleasure to welcome you to another Canberra Comedy Festival in 2015

The festival is back following great success in previous years. This year, Canberrans will get the chance to laugh and enjoy world-class performances from some of Australia’s funniest and most entertaining comedians.

Events such as the Canberra Comedy Festival are vital to our grow-ing economy- attracting interstate visitors to join in the fun. Just like other comedy festivals around Australia, the event contributes enor-mously to our rich social fabric and is another exciting contribution to the Territory’s diverse arts and entertainment calendar for 2015.

The ACT Government is proud to support the Canberra Comedy Festival and I look forward to the array of entertainment on offer. I can only hope that this year, I might learn a joke or two to use for next year’s welcome.

Andrew Barr MLAACT Chief Minister

2015

We’re Back!

Everyone wants to believe they’re special. They’re not. Luke Heggie is back with another show, about dickheads he met at a barbecue one time. This is a comedy show involving his opinion, which should be your opinion. No lowbreeds please. “Deadpan genius..one of the funniest standups around” -Sydney Morning Herald

Fri 20 March & Sat 21 March 8:15pm (60min) All Tix $20 The Civic Pub

LUKE HEGGIE YOU’RE NOT SPECIAL

Shane Dundas has done lots of comedy as half of Perrier-nominated super-duo The Umbilical Brothers. But there’s one thing he’s never done: his own solo show. In order to get through it, he’s going to have to believe. “Think early Bill Bailey meets Rhys Darby… both hilarious and weird – a winning combination every time.” -Three Weeks (Edinburgh)

Thu 19 March 7pm (60min) All Tix $20 Teatro Vivaldi

SHANE DUNDAS BELIEVE

Toby is bad at dancing, dating, dressing (crocs with socks, anyone?) and pretty much everything else starting with D. Except dick jokes. He’s very good at dick jokes. Last year, he found love, lies and lunacy, all in one place. This is his story. “One of Australia’s brightest comedic talents” -Herald Sun

Fri 20 March & Sat 21 March 7:30pm (60min) All Tix $20* ANU Arts Centre, Drama Lab

TOBY HALLIGAN THE BAD GAY

Andrew and Danny Bensley are brothers. Danny has a house, a car, a loving girlfriend but he’s not sure how. Andrew still lives with his mum and can’t quite figure out what it means to be an adult. This is a show about growing up too fast, or not growing up at all.

Wed 18 March & Thu 19 March 9:30pm (60min) All Tix $17 The Civic Pub

ANDREW AND DANNY BENSLEY BROTHER FROM THE SAME MOTHER

For the cheeky, there’s fun to be had everywhere. That said, please do check all cowardice at the door, for while this show may appear to be a laugh – with all the jokes, games, songs, etc. – do not let yourself be fooled. The whole thing is actually just a flimsy front for Endrey to parade his under-loved opinions and launch his jaunty little truth-axe.

Fri 20 March & Sat 21 March 9pm (60min) All Tix $20* ANU Arts Centre, Drama Lab

CHRIS ENDREY THE WORLD IS A PLAYGROUND

Daniel Townes returns with a laid-back and hilariously honest take on some big questions about morality, hypocrisy, and the unwelcome realities of life.

SOPHIE RUTZOU DON’T SAY I DIDN’T WARN YOU

Sean Woodland lost his marbles, then found them again.

Wed 18 March & Thu 19 March 7:30pm (60min) All Tix $20* ANU Arts Centre, Drama Lab
