The story

Brisbane Comedy Festival in Brisbane

A multi-week stand-up comedy festival held each March into April at Brisbane Powerhouse, the city's converted riverside power station venue. The program spans big-name touring headliners to emerging local comedians across the venue's various performance spaces, giving Brisbane one of Australia's larger comedy festival lineups.

Brisbane Comedy Festival takes over the Brisbane Powerhouse each year, usually across March and into April, running one of Australia's larger stand-up comedy programs across several weeks rather than a single condensed weekend.
