Highlander : Comedy Showcase

highlander.jpg

Tell us about your show. Comedy Showcase at Highlander is a delightful sampler. International, interstate and local acts will give audiences a taste of their main show. It’s a great way to get a Melbourne International Comedy Festival experience for free and get an idea of what’s out there.

When was the idea for the show born? Acts wanted to give away a cheeky taste of their schtick. There’s so much diversity and audiences deserve the option to shop around. Comedy Showcase at Highlander is a one stop shop.

Can you describe the journey of creating a show? When people finish work they should be able to walk straight into a show and start unwinding. I wanted it to be low risk for the audience; lots of variety, it’s a better option than sitting in rush hour traffic and it’s free. I also wanted something that was fast paced, that gave acts a chance to really sell their act.

Describe your show in three words. Bite sized bliss.

What inspires you about MICF? The genuine enthusiasms a wide diversity of acts bring to Melbourne. Sometimes audiences are not always able to get a true idea of their options. Comedy Showcase at Highlander gives audiences an intense tease that hopefully makes that enthusiasm contagious.
