The Man in the Lab Coat returns for this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival with a new season of the Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour! Ben is joined by queen of trivia and stalwart of the Melbourne comedy scene Janet A. McLeod, and that ever-so-lovely yet cheeky comedian and host of ABC1′s The Collectors, Andy Muirhead.
The tour will run Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 6 PM for the last two weeks of the Festival, which is April 16-18 & 23-25. You’ll be able to buy tickets soon via Ticketmaster and the Festival web site, but they’ll also be available at the door; for more information, keep an eye on labcoatman.com.au.
If you’re wondering what Ben has been up to to cause such a long dark tea-time of the soul here at Shaolin Punk, well he’s been concentrating on The Anarchist Guild Social Committee, the monthly sketch show in which he provides backup to the cast. After their February show – which is this Sunday, February 15 – they’re off to the Adelaide Fringe before returning to Melbourne for the Comedy Festival, showcasing their best sketches of the past year in A Fine Selection. Tickets are on sale now for both seasons!
