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.

Last year, comedians taking part in Roadshow performed to enthusiastic crowds in 60 regional centres and capital cities across Australia and overseas. Given such popularity, this year’s Roadshow plans to connect with even more comedy fans and share the kind of humour that had Melbourne weeping with laughter.

More than 300 shows contained in one – you can’t get better value than that.

The Comedy Festival Roadshow is on at Kernot Hall on Wednesday 2 May at 8pm. Bar opens at 7pm. To book, call the box office on 5176 3559.
