Comedy Roadshow Rolls Into Kernot HallStuffing one of the world’s largest comedy festivals into the one show is no easy feat, but the Melbourne International Comedy Festival has done just that with Roadshow 2012 set to hit Kernot Hall, By Latrobe City - 13th April 2012 - Back to News Morwell on Wednesday 2 May. But book early as tickets to this ever-popular show are already selling fast.
Offering a selection of Australian, international and special guest comedians, the Roadshow is literally all the best bits of the Comedy Festival condensed into the one ‘all killer, no filler’ travelling event.
Latrobe City’s performing arts and venues coordinator, Kathleen Roberts, said that the cast for the Morwell show would include some top picks from the festival.
"Daniel Townes will MC the show and comedians Mike Wilmot, Bob Franklin, Celia Pacquola and Anne Edmonds will star, delivering their own unique brand of humour guaranteed to have you in stitches," Ms Roberts said.
