A Month of Laughing Until It Hurts
Brisbane Comedy Festival is back for its 17th year, running from April 24 to May 24 at Brisbane Powerhouse, and after a record-breaking 2025, the lineup has a lot to live up to. It does.
Stand-up, improv, sketch, musical comedy, and family shows are all on the cards, with names like Joanne McNally, Colin Mochrie, and David O’Doherty already drawing crowds. McNally is fully sold out, which should tell you everything you need to know about moving quickly on this one.
A full month of comedy in one of Brisbane’s best riverside venues. Check the program and book before someone else does.
