Registrations for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival “Funny Tonne” are now open. This competition pits three keen punters against each other to see how many Comedy Festival shows they can rack up during the course of the three weeks.

This year the Comedy Festival has 289 shows to choose from and the three lucky punters get to see as many of these as they can manage for free with their specially issued Comedy Passport.

Last Year’s winner, Erin Davidson, saw a mammoth 125 shows during the festival’s run and has since gone on to become a regular writer for The Groggy Squirrel.
