The festival can be found tickling funny bones at Capitol Theatre Tamworth on June 1 at 8pm.
With an all-killer, no-filler cast of Australian stars, talented newcomers and international performers, they have all comedy bases covered.
Every year their cast of intrepid entertainers board the bus and set their sights on more than 80 destinations across Australia, from Darwin to Devonport and everywhere in between.
This year, the hilarious line-up includes Dave Callan, who is MC for the evening. Dave Callan is the Irish-born, Melbourne-based comic who is best known for his roles on Rove Live and Triple J. Over the years, he has popped up on Good News Week, Hey Hey its Saturday, Spicks and Specks, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton.
Next on the line-up is Bev Killick - from the bold and brassy school of stand-up, delivering a non-stop energetic set every time. Bev is likeable, bawdy and real.
The hilarious Adam Hess (UK), Fosters Best Newcomer Nominee 2015 started performing stand up in 2011, when he won the Chortle Student Comedy Award and quickly made a name for himself on the comedy circuit. He has written for lots of big TV shows.
And there’s Xavier Michelides. Since emigrating from Perth to Melbourne, Xavier has been an active stand-up comedian, writer and performer. He has performed in eight Melbourne International comedy festivals, three Melbourne Fringes, two Adelaide Fringes, two Perth Fringe Worlds, two Perth International Comedy Festivals and one Sydney Comedy Festival.
The show contains coarse language, sexual references and material that can offend. It is recommended for people aged 15 years or older.
