Comedy Festival: Humourists Read Humourists

At the first ever Melbourne International Comedy Festival, a collection of writers, performers and others came together to celebrate their favourite humourists. That was twenty-five years ago. This year, Humourists Read Humourists returns to Melbourne, presented with the Wheeler Centre. Find out who makes your favourite comedian laugh. Listen to someone you’ve never heard of read someone you’ve always loved, or someone you’ve always loved reading something you can’t find on YouTube. Imagine that. One night only.
