Colac ready to LOL and ROFL as comedy show hits town

AUSTRALIA’S largest comedy festival is packing up and set to roll into Colac May 9 and 10.

Headed up by Irish-born Melbournian Dave Callan as master of ceremonies, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow will home deliver hot and tasty comic treats to Colac Otway Performing Arts and Cultural Centre (COPACC) audiences.

Callan will be joined by some of the best funny makers in the business including Nath Valvo, Eleanor Tiernan (UK), Azeem Banatwalla (India) and Andy Saunders.

Acting COPACC manager Tamzin McLennan said the comedy roadshow was one of the most popular inclusions in COPACC’s annual theatre season.

“This show is literally all the best bits of the comedy festival condensed into one travelling show and it’s always a fantastic night,” Ms McLennan said.

“It typically plays to a packed house in Colac and tickets always sell fast, so please get in early to avoid disappointment.”

For nearly 20 years the roadshow has visited towns and cities around Australia.

This roving tour-de-comedy offers stand-up, sketch, satire, silliness and song – all in one side-splitting show that will make audiences laugh out loud (lol) and perhaps roll around on the floor laughing (rofl).

Tickets start at $34 for adults and $31 for concession and are available from copacc.com.au.
