The 11th annual Sydney Comedy Festival is set to kick off next April, and organisers have locked in the first round lineup of funny people from Australia and overseas.
UK comedians Ross Noble and Stephen K Amos lead the international program, with Noble bringing his suitably titled show Tangentleman to town while Amos presents the new show Welcome To My World.
One of Australia’s most successful comedy exports, Jim Jefferies, will return to Sydney for the festival, while Effie and Akmal will also bring the laughs. Local favourites Ronny Chieng and Matt Okine are also on the lineup – as is former Men At Work lead singer Colin Hay and New Zealand’s Topp Twins on an extra musical lineup.
The Sydney Comedy Festival Gala will be held on Sunday May 3 at the Sydney Opera House.
Sydney Comedy Festival 2015 runs from Monday April 20 – Sunday May 17.
