Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival is rapidly approaching

Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival (10 – 13 November) is rapidly approaching, with a line-up of world- class comedy over four days of non-stop hilarity.

The Sunshine Coast is readying itself for the third huge year of the Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival, with a star-studded lineup including Tommy Little (The Project, SCA), Cal Wilson (TV – Various), Heath Franklin (Chopper), Steph Tisdell (TV – Various), Andy Saunders (The Block), Sean Choolburra (Bangarra Dance), Ryan Gallagher (I’m a Celebrity, MAFS) and more.

Taking place at over 15 locations across the Coast, this year’s festival is delivering more than 30 shows from Caloundra to Noosa, up to the Hinterland and down to the sea.

With so many shows and brilliant acts coming to the region, it provides a wealth of opportunities for brilliant interviews and editorial possibilities.

Shows include the highly acclaimed Aboriginal Comedy All-Stars line-up, featuring a cast of Australia’s funniest indigenous comedians on the back of an award-winning jaunt around Europe and back-to-back sell-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

With five-star reviews in the UK, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, this is a unique, highly informative and wildly entertaining showcase of Indigenous talent and culture awash with dance, traditional music and, of course, huge belly laughs, not to be missed.

From across the pond – Best o’ British return.

An all-Brit show that’s been nominated Best Comedy Show at Perth Fringe World and is widely touted as the most popular international showcase on the Festival Circuit.

Featuring the most hilarious bits from the most hilarious Brits, award-winners Georgie Carroll, Tik-tok sensation Rory Lowe and host with the most Dan Willis.

Tommy Little is one of Australia’s original comedy darlings.

His latest stand-up show, Pretty Fly for a Dickhead showcases the laidback and irreverent humour which has won Tommy so many fans on The Project and as one half of Hit Network’s Carrie and Tommy radio show.

Cal Wilson is a perennial favourite on television shows such as Spicks and Specks, and Have You Been Paying Attention?

Fresh out of the jungle for I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here! Cal’s stand-up shows are as engaging as they are hilarious, often bringing the audience’s stories to life alongside her own.

As Chopper, Heath Franklin is an Australian cultural and comedy icon.

With his own TV show, four live comedy specials, two ARIA nominations, one Logie nomination and over 500,000 tickets sold worldwide, Chopper has nearly done it all.

This year’s festival also includes two huge, star-studded galas Night Quarter, Birtinya and The J Theatre, Noosa, as well as luxury river cruises with a comedic twist with Saltwater Eco Tours Indigenous Comedy Tours, Craft Comedy Beer Tours to all your favourite breweries and some late- night comedy line-ups for the night-owls, with Nauti Late Nights at the Nautical.
