Supported by Arts Victoria, Class Clowns is part of MICF’s education program; a program focused on discovering the next Australian comedian and providing them with mentorship to turn them into something great. Past mentors have included Sammy J, DeAnne Smith, Dave Williams and Anne Edmonds.
Entry is free and participating puts you in the running for a $1,000 workshop package for your school and $1,500 for yourself. Entrants can register as a solo act or as a group of up to three members.
Entrants are expected to create an original five-minute stand-up routine, sketch or music parody to perform at the heats, participate in one of the mentorship workshops and then present their act a local public venue.
