Footscray Laughs

The comedic shenanigans of Footscray Laughs returns with Footscray Community Arts bringing together the nation’s finest comedians for a jam-packed series of non-stop laughter. Footscray Laughs kicks off on Friday 10 March with five seriously funny comedians hitting The Performance Space stage.

Multi-award winning comedian and broadcaster, Sami Shah (ABC Radio Melbourne, New York Times) hosts the evening’s hilarity with MICF Gala performer Jude Perl headlining and Suren Jayemanne (SBS, Comedy Up Late), Sashi Perera, Con Coutis and Christina Schmidt bringing back to back laughs.

Café owner and chef, Hamed Allahyari from renowned Persian restaurant, Salamatea Café has created a selection of authentic menu options to accompany the smorgasbord of laughs on offer.

Footscray Laughs is a great opportunity to check out local talent before these comics embark on national tours including shows at the upcoming Melbourne Comedy Festival in March/April. In keeping with the Footscray Community Arts’ commitment to accessibility, the event will be Auslan interpreted for members of the hearing impaired and deaf community.

Stand by for the more Footscray Laughs shows later in the year. Program details will be announced soon.
