Amid these times, festival promoters have been called upon to inspire and entertain audiences with robust and innovative models, and this year’s Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival is delivering the goods.

With festival favourites Wil Anderson and Tripod rescheduled until February 2022, the Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival is celebrating the best in comedic talent this November, hand-in-hand with iconic coast experiences.

Fiona O’Loughlin is not to be missed in Noosa on Saturday 13 November at the J Theatre.

Fiona’s searingly honest book, Truths from an unreliable witness, is already a stage show. Fiona has always known the power of a great story and a good joke to show us a truth about ourselves. It is why she is one of our most loved comedians. This is not only an unforgettable show, it is an inspiration to anyone who has lost their way.

In sharing her story, Fiona shows there is always the promise of better days. Don’t miss The Unreliable Witness herself as she regales you with a new show with even bolder content than ever before.

A late starter with an award-winning career of over 20 years, Fiona performs to packed houses in venues and festivals across the globe. She won the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s (MICF) Best Newcomer Award in 2001, and in 2006 she took home the coveted MICF Piece of Wood, an award for funniest show as voted for by other comedians.

In 2007 and 2008 she was nominated for the MICF’s Barry Award for Best Show and in 2013, Fiona was awarded Adelaide Comedy’s Best Visiting Comedian award. She has also taken her unique, story-based comedy to Los Angeles, headlining the world-renowned Improv Comedy Club, in addition to repeat seasons in Hong Kong, performing at Edinburgh Fringe (the world’s largest arts festival) Montreal’s prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.

It just wouldn’t be summer with a daytime program full of unmissable events either, so schedule some time with friends to make the most of these awesome highlights.

Board the iconic M.V. Catalina for a Noosa River Comedy Cruise and enjoy canapes, cocktails and stand-up from Mandy Nolan, Gordon Southern and Lindsay Webb.

Alternatively, take a regional craft brewery tour with your own British comedic host, Dan Willis, and visit three breweries before the signature Land and Sea comedy afternoon, Best Medicine.

Taste the best of the festival performers with opening night at the J Theatre, or make the trip to the historic Majestic Theatre, Pomona, for the festival favourite, Women Like Us!

Supported through Tourism Noosa the festival has something for everyone this year with more than 25 events across the region. Get the gang together and make it four days to remember this November.

The Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival runs from November 11 to 14. For all event information and tickets visit sunshinecoastcomedyfestival.com
