The title pretty much says it all: tickets are now on sale via the Comedy Festival web site for the 2009 Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour, featuring Ben McKenzie (the Man in the Lab Coat), Janet A. McLeod (Quiz Internationale) and Andy Muirhead (Collectors). Some nights did sell out last year, so get in quick this time around!
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!
The Melbourne Museum Comedy Tour finishes this week, and after some of the great reviews we’ve had from The Groggy Squirrel and UK comedy site Chortle, our last two nights are sure to be a great success. So come on down! Tonight, Ben McKenzie, Bec Hill and Sue-Ann Post will be your guides, and on Friday, Ben and Bec will instead be joined by Kent Valentine.
It’s the last days too for A Record or an OBE, the what if play about hit 70s British comedy group The Goodies. OBE plays this Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th of April, and then every night next week until the 13th of April, with no show on Monday. Remember Tuesday April 8th is your last chance for a cheap $10 ticket!
For those of you unable to come to the show due to its early evening timeslot at 6:30 PM, there are plans for a late show at 11 PM on Friday, April 11th; watch this space for details!
