Be a part of local comedy history on October 3 when breakout comedy sensation, Lewis Garnham, films his acclaimed special live at Max Watt's.

If you like your jokes deadpan-authentic with a side of brutal social commentary then you’ll love Lewis Garnham and you won’t be alone.

The reigning Moosehead Award winner just sold out his entire run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival with his best show yet, Choosing The Wrong Story To Tell, which garnered rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe. Now Melbourne audiences get to witness it live for the very last time, at a special live taping.

Garnham has been steadily building to this global breakout show for nearly a decade. He made it to the RAW Comedy National Final in 2016, then earned stacks of award nods from comedy festivals around the country over the next few years, before releasing his debut special last year to wide acclaim; Lewis Garnham Hit A Pigeon With His Bike (above).

You might have seen him split-sides at the Oxfam Gala this year, maybe you’re one of his 63,000 followers on Tiktok alone, or one of the gazillions who’ve viewed his comedy shorts online.

Needless to say, this is the one that cements him in Australian comedy’s mainstream. So if you’ve ever watched a viral Aaron Chen or Sam Campbell special and thought ‘God, I wish in the audience for that’, this is your chance to bask in the glory.

Go on, tell your kids you were there. Tickets here.
