Melbourne International Comedy Festival stars Becky Lucas, Tom Cashman, Urzila Carlson, Melanie Bracewell and Chris Parker have all upgraded their venues or added additional shows.
While many events are struggling to attract a crowd due to the huge array of options on the table as Melbourne bounds back from COVID shutdowns, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s biggest names are bucking the trend.
Blistering sales have seen Becky Lucas, who has had a stellar rise to prominence off the back of several successful television appearances, announce a move for her show So Funny! to The Forum, from her room at the Victoria Hotel for the final week of MICF, April 19-24.
